My wife and I got a chance to see Feld Entertainment’s “Disney On Ice – Dare to Dream” and I must say it is an incredible show.
Any Disney fan, and especially those with kids, will thoroughly enjoy this ice skating extravaganza.
It features appearances by Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck and Goofy, but the real show stoppers are the big productions based on Disney’s animated feature films.
The show opens with the song “Remember Me” from “Coco,” featuring only four skaters on ice, but it grows from there.

“Be Our Guest” from “Beauty and Beast” has skaters dressed as Lumiere, Cogsworth, dishes and spoons. It is well staged and everyone in the audience sings along.

A wonderful number based on “Cinderella” features absolutely spectacular skating by Cinderella and the Prince.
The skaters for Rapunzel and Flynn Rider take to the air above the ice at times during the production set based on “Tangled,” and brought the audience to its feet afterwards.
The same movie had a 20-plus set of skaters in the sequence based on “I Have a Dream.”

And the finale with the lanterns brought tears to many of the lady’s eyes.
After the intermission, the production did not slow down as it told the story of “Frozen.” Yes, many of the ladies and girls sang along to two of the movie’s songs, “Love is an Open Door,” and of course, “Let It Go.” But the production values of “Let It Go” are as good as Disney’s live show at Disney California Adventure.

The final number is based on “Moana” and the spectacular skating continues here as they do an ice skating version telling of the film’s story.
I highly recommend seeing Disney On Ice – Dare to Dream to anyone who likes Disney movies, and to anyone who wants to see some great ice dancing and a great production.
