The lights dim, the music starts and suddenly the Pacific Coliseum doesn’t feel like an arena anymore. It feels like you’ve stepped straight into a Disney movie, only this time Mickey and friends are gliding across the ice right in front of you.
Disney On Ice presents Jump In is coming to Vancouver from November 25 to 29, 2026, bringing more than 50 Disney characters, familiar songs and colourful worlds together in one big family night out.
For anyone who has ever sung along to Let It Go, cheered for Moana or watched Toy Story more times than they can count, this is one of those experiences that feels exciting before the show even begins.

The Magic Starts Before the Main Show

One thing I thought was such a nice touch is that families do not have to wait for the main performance to feel the magic. Arrive early and Olaf will welcome everyone into the holiday season during Olaf’s Festive Preshow, joined by Anna and Elsa for songs and a celebration of friendship and family.
The preshow is included with your regular ticket, so this is definitely not the night to slide into your seat at the very last minute. Give yourself time to park, find your seats and let the little ones take in the atmosphere before the ice comes alive.
A Magical MousePad Opens the Door to Every Story

The magic begins when Mickey, Minnie, Donald and Goofy tap the Magical MousePad, opening the door to one Disney world after another. Each new adventure brings familiar characters, favourite songs and beautiful skating moments that make it feel like the movies are coming to life right in front of you.

And just when you think you know where the adventure is going, Stitch takes over the MousePad and sends everything into the kind of adorable chaos only he could create. The stories, colours and music move quickly enough to keep little ones watching, while the familiar characters bring back that warm Disney feeling adults grew up loving.
Moana 2 and Inside Out 2 Make Their Ice Debut

For the first time, Moana 2 is sailing onto the ice with Moana, Maui, Matangi and more. It is one of those moments where the arena seems to disappear and you almost feel like you are heading beyond the reef with them.
Inside Out 2 also brings the emotions out of Riley’s mind and into the arena. Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear and Disgust are joined by Anxiety, giving the show a fun mix of familiar favourites and characters children have only recently met on screen.
So Many Familiar Faces in One Place

More than 50 Disney characters take to the ice, with stories from Zootopia, Toy Story, Frozen, Encanto, Moana 2 and Inside Out 2. Just as one favourite leaves, another appears—giving little ones plenty to get excited about and grown-ups a little Disney nostalgia too.
How Long Is the Show?
Disney On Ice usually runs for 90 minutes to two hours, including an intermission. Give yourself extra time to park, find your seats and enjoy the Olaf preshow.
For little ones, the 11 a.m. or 3 p.m. shows may be easier than an evening performance. I would also find the nearest washroom before the show—the intermission lines can get busy!
What to Wear
It can get a little chilly near the ice, so I would definitely dress in layers. A sweater or light jacket can go right over a princess dress, Mickey shirt or favourite Disney outfit without taking away from the fun.
Little ones under 14 can dress as their favourite character, while older guests can still join in with Disney-themed clothing. If your little one is sensitive to loud music or cheering, a pair of noise-reducing earmuffs may also be helpful.

There Will Be Souvenirs
Character merchandise, glowing wands, snacks and collectible cups are all part of the experience—and little ones will notice them right away. I would set a souvenir budget before you arrive, or bring a favourite Disney toy from home if it follows the venue’s bag rules.
A Disney Night to Remember
You can watch Disney movies together a hundred times, but seeing your little one’s favourite characters glide past on the ice feels like a whole different kind of magic. Add the music, sparkly costumes and all those “Did you see that?!” moments, and you’ve got plenty to talk about on the way home.

Disney On Ice Vancouver 2026 Showtimes
Disney On Ice runs at the Pacific Coliseum from November 25 to 29, 2026, with eight shows. Performances are at 7 p.m. Wednesday to Friday, 11 a.m., 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. Saturday, and 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. Sunday.
How Much Are Tickets?
Ticket prices depend on the showtime and where you choose to sit. Since there is no set starting price, the easiest way to check is to choose a performance and view the live seat map on TicketLeader. Keep in mind that extra fees may apply.
Everyone ages two and older needs a ticket, and I would book through the official website since resale prices can be much higher.
Add Extra Magic With the Magical Pass
Want to make the outing feel extra special? Vancouver’s Magical Pass includes a premium seat, a keepsake lanyard and a character greeting before the show. Bring your phone for photos, and arrive early: the greeting runs from 45 to 15 minutes before showtime.
Getting to the Pacific Coliseum

Parking at the PNE is limited, with event parking currently listed at $29, so transit might be the easier choice. The #16 bus connects from Renfrew SkyTrain Station, and buses also run along Hastings Street.
Before you leave, save your tickets to Apple or Google Wallet. There’s no public Wi-Fi, and screenshots or PDFs won’t work at the door. If you can, leave the stroller at home, too—storage is limited and first come, first served.
