Disney On Ice: Let’s Dance in Vancouver

Disney On Ice presents magical performances at venues worldwide. The show on skates visits many cities across Canada and the United States. Last year’s Disney On Ice: Let’s Dance came to Vancouver in the fall and featured daily shows at the end of November. Each Disney On Ice show is slightly different every year, and 2025 was no different.

Let’s Dance featured Mickey and friends at the DJ table, remixing favourite Disney songs into colourful worlds. Characters and music from Frozen 2, The Little Mermaid, and more appeared throughout the show.

The performers at Disney On Ice are all very talented and put on fantastic shows. There’s lots of singing, dancing and even acrobatics to enjoy. Of course, the shows take place on ice, which makes the performances even more impressive.

Children under the age of 14 are typically welcome to arrive in costume for the main shows. Costumes are generally not allowed for older guests.

Tickets to watch Disney On Ice when it tours Vancouver again are available online on the Disney On Ice website. Show pricing last year ranged from about $37 on weekday performances to around $175 on weekend shows (prices were subject to change).

Prices depend on the performance day, time and seating section. The weekend performances are more expensive.

Everyone ages 2 and up requires a ticket. Children under 2 are typically admitted free if seated on a guardian’s lap. Seats are reserved, and buying online usually offers the best availability and pricing.

Tips & Advice

Below are some tips and advice to help you make the most of your experience at Disney On Ice.

TIP #1: Doors for each performance open about an hour before the listed show times. Although seating is reserved, it’s best to arrive early and settle into your seats before the show begins. Allow yourself plenty of time just in case traffic is heavy.

TIP #2: Tickets cannot be exchanged or refunded. This is unfortunate but good to know before booking.

TIP #3: Tickets can be booked only in groups of up to eight. Groups of 15 or more may qualify for discounts or suite options. Contact the Coliseum’s group sales team directly.
