MANILA, Philippines — Popular ice skating concert “Disney On Ice” is coming back to the Philippines with another new show concept featuring characters that will have their debut performance in Manila.
The new show debuting this December is “Magic in the Stars,” a concept that has been touring for three years now and will finally land in the Philippines.
“Disney On Ice” has been staged at the Mall of Asia Arena since 2016, and it will again be staged from December 20 to January 4, 2026 (except Christmas Eve, New Year’s Eve, and December 29).
Matthew Garrick, Asia-Pacific vice president of Feld Entertainment, which produces the show, shared today’s media conference that “Disney On Ice” will likely see its one millionth Philippine attendee since its first show here back in 1990.
Over 55 Disney characters will take on the ice for the upcoming show, including favorites like Aladdin, Cinderella, Moana, Rapunzel from “Tangled,” Tiana from “The Princess and the Frog,” the Madrigals of “Encanto,” and, of course, Mickey Mouse.
“Frozen” characters Elsa, Anna, and Olaf will also appear, but this time following a story taken from the 2018 sequel, meaning it will be the first time that “Into the Unknown” will be professionally performed on the ice here.

Also debuting in the upcoming show are Lightning McQueen and Mater from “Cars,” Asha from “Wish,” and the titular character of “Raya and the Last Dragon.”
The latter is notable for being Disney’s first film to heavily feature traditional Southeast Asian culture.
Garrick later told Philstar.com in an exclusive interview that “Magic in the Stars” will feature more aerial acts compared to past “Disney On Ice” shows, as well as non-traditional skating elements like ramps and jumping.
He also reiterated than having more than 55 characters featured is the most any Philippine “Disney On Ice” show has had in 35 years.
Tickets to “Disney On Ice presents Magic in the Stars” are now available via SM Tickets outlets nationwide and its website.
