Grab your mouse ears and get ready for a magical family outing as Disney On Ice returns to Australia in June and July 2026.
The brand-new production Disney On Ice presents Magic in the Stars will tour major Australian cities during the winter school holidays. This spectacular show brings together more than 50 beloved Disney characters, along with dazzling costumes, impressive figure skating, acrobatics and special effects.
Disney On Ice has long been a favourite with families across Australia, and the 2026 show promises plenty of magical moments for kids and parents alike.
What is Disney On Ice Magic in the Stars?
The new show celebrates the dreams and wishes that sit at the heart of many Disney stories.
Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Daisy Duck and Goofy guide audiences on a journey through some of Disney’s most memorable adventures. Along the way you’ll see a mix of classic Disney characters and newer favourites from recent films.
Escape “Into the Unknown” with Elsa and Anna from Frozen 2, hit the road with Disney and Pixar’s Lightning McQueen and Tow Mater as they cruise on the ice to “Life Is A Highway,” and reconnect with Toy Story’s Buzz Lightyear, Woody, Jessie, Rex, and Hamm.
One of the highlights of the 2026 show is the on-ice debut of Raya from Raya and the Last Dragon. Raya performs an aerial acrobatic routine that brings a dramatic new element to the production.
Travel to the mountains of Colombia where the Madrigal family lives, unlock the magic in the family’s casita, and discover why “We Don’t Talk About Bruno.”
Cheer along Tiana, from The Princess and the Frog, as she strives to make her wish of opening a restaurant come true.
Princess favourites including Cinderella, Belle, Snow White and Rapunzel also make appearances throughout the show.
The combination of storytelling, music, skating and special effects makes Disney On Ice a lively and entertaining experience that celebrates the idea that every dream starts with a wish.
