Experience the pure magic of Disney On Ice

If you haven’t seen a Disney On Ice performance before, then Disney On Ice presents Dare to Dream is your perfect introduction to the magic, excitement, adventure, and friendship that unfolds on ice.

And this is a performance of great magnitude! Here are some very cool facts and figures about the show:

Expect 213 different dazzling Disney costumes
There’s 180 incredible props
It takes 5 buses to transfer the cast, crew and staff
It also takes 12 hours to set up the production in each city
There are 181 light fixtures and 160 moveable lights in the show
The crew used 80 different colours of paint for the props
There are also 147 sound effects added live to each show
There were 552 fittings needed for new costumes
And, finally, it takes approximately 42 loads of laundry per week to keep the costumes fresh and clean. Whew!

Which Disney characters will we see?

Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse will be front and centre as they take audiences on an expedition across raging seas and snow-covered mountains.

You’ll see some familiar princesses including Belle from Beauty and the Beast, Moana (and Maui, of course!), Anna and Elsa, Rapunzel and Cinderella. Their timeless stories unfold on the ice, set to music and enhanced with magical props and sets.

Of all the different stories, we are most excited about Moana’s journey. I mean, just look at that cool wayfarer gliding across the ice.

If you like your princesses brave and positive, you’ll love watching Belle as she steps outside her ordinary French village and finds joy in a bleak but magical home with the Beast.

New characters take the stage

Miguel from Disney and Pixar’s Coco will bring the festivities of Día de los Muertos to the ice as he live his dream of becoming a professional musician.

Plus, all the way from Hundred Acre Wood, get ready to bounce and skate with special guests Winnie the Pooh and Tigger. This pre-show is as sweet as honey and they are such a fun addition to the Disney On Ice team, especially for the little Disney fans out there.

One new venue too!

After 24 years, Disney On Ice presents Dare to Dream will return to Hobart. We’re so excited that even more Aussie families can see what the magic is all about.
