  • Parking is available for a fee. Both venues are offering $25+ parking for families attending the show. Just follow signs when entering the area.
  • Get there early. Make sure to get to the venue with enough time to park, get through the security check and buy snacks or souvenirs. Then settle into your seats and watch the excitement build in your childโ€™s eyes as the lights get dimmer and dimmer.
  • Dress in costume. Do your kids have Frozen or Moana costumes from Halloween? Wear them to the show! Even if you donโ€™t have costumes, find other fun ways to dress up such as snowflake hairclip.
  • Turn the camera. During a hit song or a big dance number, turn the camera to focus on your child. Itโ€™s the magic in their eyes that youโ€™ll want to remember, not necessarily the performance.
  • Enhance the experience. For an extra fee, you can make your kidโ€™s day with the pre-show Elsa and Anna Character Experience. Kids will enjoy crafting and more interactive time with the two movie characters. Note: Each guest must purchase the Character Experience add-on and a Disney on Ice show ticket.
