My family and I had the most MAGICAL time at Disney on Ice “Dare to Dream” at the Pechanga Arena in San Diego! It was opening night of the new show that is running from January 24 – 27. Our evening began with a pre-show event where we were able to meet Mickey and Minnie and a few other characters for some photos, hugs, and conversation! We even collected a few gifts to take home as souvenirs!
And thanks to Feld Entrainment and Disney on Ice, once the party wrapped up, we were escorted down to the ice to meet with one of the producer’s of the show where she surprised my daughter to inform her that she was going to be in the show!!!! Even though I knew ahead of time, it was a complete shock for my princess and she was so excited! We received our instructions and took a few photos on the ice and then went up to our amazing seats that were only five rows away from the ice! Then it was showtime!! The show began with a special pre-show Sing-Along with Miguel from Disney-Pixar’s Coco! He sang “Remember Me” and we all couldn’t help but sing along!
After he was done, Mickey, Minnie, Donald, and Goofy greeted the audience with an entertaining song and skating skills!
Then we watched Beauty & The Beast and then Cinderella!!
Next up was Rapunzel. We she arrived on stage we knew it was our time to head back down to the ice so my daughter could prep to be in the show!!
She ultimitely got to ride in a wagon with two other lucky girls and spend an entire song riding around the ice giving a high five to all of Rapunzel’s friends in the show including Flynn Rider! She had the best time and had the biggest smile on her face as rode around the ice. I even caught her singing a few times! It made me have all the feels as a mom watching her live out a dream!!
After a short intermission, where we grabbed a quick bite to eat and check out amazing gifts at the shop, we went back to our seats and watched the section half! First up was Elsa, Anna, Olaf, and friends from Frozen…
and then finally the finale with Moana!!!!! This was the first time ever that Disney’s Moana voyages onto the ice in a show!

I honestly cannot recommend this show enough to all families with children of all ages. Disney is magical for all ages and this show is so captivating for children and adults alike. We loved singing along to all the familiar songs from our favorite Disney movies and of course loved seeing all of the characters from our Happiest Place on Earth skate on ice!!!

And if you want to learn more about the custom ears we wore to the show, please visit Disney Kraft Grls – who makes incredible Disney inspired ears in all sorts of patterns and colors! I love how much they shine and sparkle from the back, too! We had so many compliments on these ears at the show – they even made it in the show – and the shop owner is such a generous and sweet mama who JUST announced she is pregnant again!!!!
