About Disney On Ice: Magic of Family

Disney On Ice has been bringing animated favorites to life on the rink for over four decades. The shows are produced by Feld Entertainment in partnership with Disney, and they have grown into one of the most consistently popular family touring productions in the country. The latest installment, Magic of Family, leans into the relationships at the heart of Disney's biggest hits - the sister bond at the core of Frozen, the multi-generational family of Encanto, the parent-child love stories of Moana and Mickey shorts, and more.

Birmingham's run takes place at Legacy Arena at the BJCC, the city's premier indoor arena. The arena recently completed a major renovation and now features upgraded sightlines, new concessions, and a refreshed concourse that makes the family-show experience smoother than it has been in years. Capacity is around 17,000 for full configurations, but Disney On Ice setups typically use a smaller footprint that keeps every seat reasonably close to the action.

Expect appearances from a deep roster of Disney characters across the production. Recent Disney On Ice shows have featured Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Donald, Anna, Elsa, Olaf, Moana, Mirabel, Belle, Ariel, and members of the Encanto Madrigal family. Specific lineups vary by production, but Magic of Family is built around full-cast appearances and the kind of group numbers that make a Disney On Ice show feel like a parade and a concert combined.

The show typically runs about 90 minutes plus an intermission, with full theatrical staging including pyrotechnics, lifts, aerial elements, and choreographed group skating. Birmingham fans of past runs - the Frozen & Encanto installment played the BJCC in May 2024, and the venue has hosted multiple Disney On Ice productions over the years - know that pre-show character moments often include the chance to see Mickey and other characters in costume. Coverage from Birmingham 365 tracks the venue's family-entertainment calendar in detail.

For families staying overnight, the Sheraton Birmingham and Westin Birmingham connect directly to the BJCC complex via skywalk - no need to bundle the kids back into the car after a late show. The complex is also walkable to Uptown Birmingham's dining row, with several family-friendly restaurants right next door. Park in the BJCC garages or use rideshare for the easiest gameplan, especially for the weekend matinees when traffic in the area picks up.

Pricing across Disney On Ice shows varies by date, section, and demand - weekend evening performances tend to be the most in-demand, while weekday matinees usually have the most affordable seats. Check the listings above to compare options across the Birmingham run, and once you find seats that work for your family, lock them in on BigStub with a full buyer guarantee on every order.

What is the best seat for a Disney On Ice show?
