The Ultimate Holiday Event for Families!

By Ashley Cunningham - Publisher, Macaroni Kid Temecula-Murrieta-French Valley October 5, 2024

Moms, the holiday season is right around the corner, and what better way to celebrate than with a magical, star-studded event for the whole family? Disney On Ice is back and bigger than ever with its brand-new show, Magic in the Stars, making its debut in Southern California from December 12, 2024, to January 5, 2025. Get ready for an unforgettable experience featuring your favorite Disney characters—Mirabel, Woody and Buzz, Tiana, Moana, and so many more!

This year’s show boasts the largest cast of Disney characters ever assembled on ice, and it’s going to be a breathtaking spectacle with cutting-edge figure skating, dazzling aerial stunts, and larger-than-life special effects. If you're a Disney fan (and let's be honest, who isn't?), you won't want to miss the magical stories of Frozen 2, Raya from Raya and the Last Dragon, and the newest Disney heroine, Asha from Wish, all brought to life on ice for the first time ever!


What to Expect at Disney On Ice Presents Magic in the Stars

This show isn’t just for the kids—it’s for anyone who believes in the magic of Disney. The adventure begins with Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Donald, and Daisy as they take you on a journey through the North Star to discover that every story starts with a wish. As Jiminy Cricket reminds us, the most fantastic things can happen when you wish upon a star, and that’s exactly what this show brings to life.

Asha from Wish makes her Disney On Ice debut, along with her cosmic sidekick, Star. Together, they’ll dazzle you as they skate to the song “This Wish,” performed by the Oscar®-winning actress Ariana DeBose. Their message is all about courage, hope, and the magic that happens when one person’s will connects with the power of the stars.

Raya, from Raya and the Last Dragon, also takes to the ice for the first time, performing a stunning aerial acro-pole routine that will have your jaw on the floor!


Characters & Stories You Love

If you’ve ever dreamed of seeing your favorite Disney and Pixar characters all in one place, now’s your chance! Highlights include:

  • Elsa and Anna from Frozen 2: Watch them skate through the mystical world of Frozen 2 and take you "Into the Unknown."
  • Lightning McQueen and Tow Mater: Cruise along to "Life Is A Highway" as they rev up the ice!
  • Toy Story's Buzz Lightyear, Woody, Jessie, Rex, and Hamm: Get ready for some fun as the gang reconnects in this heartwarming part of the show.
