Which Disney On Ice show is best?

Mickey's Search Party is hands down the can't miss Disney on Ice event. We had SO much fun, that my kids begged to go again the next night! Check out some of the amazing scenes from Moana below! I love the use of fabric to simulate flames and the actual fireworks!



Choosing the "best" Disney On Ice show in 2026 often depends on your child's favorite characters, but "Frozen & Encanto" and "Mickey's Search Party" currently hold the highest audience ratings. "Frozen & Encanto" is a fan favorite because it features high-production numbers for Let It Go and We Don't Talk About Bruno, which are perennial hits with younger audiences. "Mickey's Search Party" is often praised for being the most "dynamic" and acrobatic, featuring high-flying stunts and more interactive elements than the traditional skating-focused shows. Reviewers in early 2026 have noted that the "magical" atmosphere is consistently high, though some parents find the merchandise and food prices a bit steep. If you are looking for the "classic" experience, "Magic in the Stars" is a top-tier choice as it features a massive cast of over 50 characters, including the most recent Disney and Pixar stars. Ultimately, the best show is the one that features the specific "hero" your child is most excited to see, as the core skating talent remains professional and consistent across all touring productions.
