If you’ve seen a Disney On Ice production before, you’ll know just how magical they are—but Disney On Ice: Magic in the Stars takes the experience to a whole new level. From breathtaking special effects and incredible acrobatics to dazzling aerial performances, exciting stunts, and interactive audience moments, this spectacular production delivers unforgettable entertainment from beginning to end.

Bringing together some of Disney’s most beloved stories, Magic in the Stars is beautifully woven around one heartwarming theme: the power of a wish.

One of the show’s biggest highlights is the on-ice debut of Asha from Disney’s Wish. Her performance of This Wish is truly enchanting, with the glowing Star soaring above the ice in a magical aerial display that perfectly captures the wonder of the film.

Featuring 56 Disney characters—the most ever seen in a Disney On Ice production—the show seamlessly transitions from one beloved story to the next, ensuring there’s never a dull moment. Every scene feels fresh, imaginative, and beautifully choreographed.

Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Daisy Duck, and Goofy guide audiences on this magical journey, while Jiminy Cricket reminds everyone that extraordinary things can happen when you believe in a wish.

Fans of Frozen 2 will love seeing Elsa and Anna perform the iconic songs Into the Unknown and Somethings never chnage. While Raya from Raya and the Last Dragon makes her thrilling Disney On Ice debut with an impressive aerial acro-pole performance that showcases her strength and courage.

The magic continues as Aladdin discovers the enchanted lamp inside the Cave of Wonders before soaring away with the Magic Carpet. The energetic performance of Friend Like Me fills the arena with dazzling choreography, playful Genies, and spectacular stunts.

Disney Princess fans will be delighted to see beloved favourites including Tiana, Cinderella, Belle, Rapunzel, and Snow White grace the ice in a beautiful celebration of Disney’s timeless stories.

The adventure continues with the Madrigal family from Encanto performing the crowd-favourite We Don’t Talk About Bruno, while Moana journeys across the ocean, singing Know Who You Are as Te Kā transforms into the beautiful Te Fiti.

The excitement doesn’t stop there. Lightning McQueen and Mater race onto the ice from Cars to Life Is A Highway, while Woody, Buzz Lightyear, Jessie, Rex, and Hamm from Toy Story take on the evil Zurg in a fun-filled battle complete with yellow foam balls launched into the audience for everyone to toss back.

From the opening moments to the spectacular finale, Disney On Ice: Magic in the Stars is a captivating production filled with magic, laughter, adventure, and unforgettable memories. Whether you’re young or simply young at heart, you’ll leave smiling, humming your favourite Disney songs, and believing that wishes really can come true.

A huge thank you to Disney On Ice for an incredible experience. It’s a show I won’t soon forget!
