Personal Experience at Disney On Ice Melbourne
We visited Disney on Ice at the Rod Laver Arena for the first time last year in 2023 and also visited in 2024. It is a must-visit if you have kids, especially a girl. We pre-booked the parking, and everything went smoothly.
The seats get booked fast, so book beforehand to get the best seats. The front seats are more expensive, but they are definitely worth it as you’re closer to the attraction.
Surprisingly, our boys loved the show as much as our daughter did, and we will be back again this year!
It was really cool seeing characters like Mickey and Elsa skating. The music and lights made it feel like I was in a Disney movie.
It was fun and something I’ll always remember, especially when Elsa sang “Let It Go” and the whole place lit up like magic. I could not take my eyes off Elsa for the entire song. This show is worth every cent!
Fancy getting your picture on the stage? Take a picture and share it on social platforms like X with the hashtag #DisneyOnIce. Our pics were shown twice on huge screens over the stage. It was the icing on the cake, which made the kids more happy!!!
