As the characters share memorable moments from favourite tales along the way, the charmed location of Encanto will feature as they travel to the mountains of Colombia to meet Mirabel and her family who live there. They also will sail away with Moana on the high seas on her brave bid to save her island and other skating adventures will feature the Frozen wintry world of Arendelle with royal sisters Anna and Elsa and the mystery and magic of Fantasia as a Sorcerer’s Apprentice makes brooms come to life.
The show invites audiences to 'Live Your Story' alongside the characters as they share their Disney memories, from Finding Dory to Toy Story. Steven Armstrong, regional vice-president of Feld Entertainment which produces Disney On Ice, said: “This year’s show is an extraordinary celebration of Disney’s 100th anniversary, where Mickey, Minnie, Donald and Goofy invite guests to relive magical Disney stories with all of your favourite characters in a family experience featuring classic Disney songs, world-class skating and amazing stunts.
