For the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic halted live events, Disney on Ice is making its return to Hamilton.

Mickey’s Search Party will take place at FirstOntario Centre for four days, beginning March 17, 2022.

“Mickey’s Search Party will be bringing the magic to guests through dynamic moments that take place on the ice and in the air,” according to an official media release. “This adventure delivers compelling storytelling through multi-levelled production numbers.”

The last time Disney on Ice appeared in Hamilton was in March 2019.

Tickets for Disney On Ice presents Mickey’s Search Party go on sale to the general public on Nov. 16, 2021. Disney’s Preferred Customers can purchase their tickets now.

“Embark on a quest with Mickey Mouse and pals as they follow Captain Hook’s treasure map for clues to find Tinker Bell after he attempts to capture her magic,” reads the media release.

“Journey across the Marigold Bridge with Miguel from Disney Pixar’s Coco into the magnificent and mystical Land of the Dead and discover a vibrantly colourful performance with skeletons atop sway poles dancing over the audience in a beautiful cultural celebration of family. Travel to the wintry world of Arendelle and sing along with Elsa as video projection creates a kaleidoscope of crystals to help build her ice palace.”

Dates and times of performances:

  • Thursday, March 17 at 7:00 p.m.
  • Friday, March 18 at 11:00 a.m., 3:00 p.m., and  7:00 p.m.

“Witness Belle lift into the sky as the enchanted chandelier comes to life high over the ice,” the release continues. “Demonstrate the power of teamwork when Buzz Lightyear, Woody and Jessie recruit the Green Army Men for a daring rescue in Andy’s room.”

“Laugh hysterically as the hilarious pirates flip, tumble, and twist on tumble tracks, stilts and more in an effort to showcase their talents for Captain Hook. Sail away with Moana on her daring voyage across the ocean and bravely encounter the fiery wrath of Te Ka. And make memories with your whole family during Aladdin and The Little Mermaid as the search party becomes an all-out celebration.”
