What Is It Like to Skate for Disney on Ice

Written By Friday, December 24, 2021 Add Comment Edit


Disney on Ice is a touring ice show produced by Feld Entertainment under agreement with the Walt Disney Company. Aimed primarily at children, the shows feature Disney characters in performances that each derive their music and plot from elements collected from various Disney films and properties; the "stars" of the show are credited as the Disney characters themselves. The productions began on July 14, 1981, under the name Walt Disney's World on Ice. The name was changed to Disney On Ice in late 1997.

Disney on Ice currently runs eight to eleven productions and touring companies at any given time. The shows have played all over the world, including non-traditional skating regions like South America, the Middle East, and Asia, as well as more traditional markets such as North America, Australia, and Europe.

As of 2020, the shows have been cancelled to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, it resumed on November 6, starting with Dream Big.

History

Soon after Mattel's Irvin & Kenneth Feld Productions purchased Ice Follies and Holiday on Ice in 1979, the company approached Disney about doing a Disney-related show on ice. Feld Productions licensed the rights to Disney material for ice shows. In 1981, they began productions under the name Walt Disney's World on Ice.

In March 1982, Irvin & Kenneth Feld purchased back Feld Productions from Mattel including Ice Follies/Walt Disney's World on Ice. In 1986, Walt Disney's World on Ice made its international debut in Japan with Happy Birthday Donald. In 1988, the company had five touring shows. The name was changed to "Disney on Ice" in 1998. By 2008, a new show is launched every year.
