Experience the power of teamwork when Toy Story's Buzz Lightyear, Woody, and Jessie recruit the Green Army Men for a daring rescue in Andy’s room. Laugh hysterically as the hilarious Peter Pan pirates flip, tumble, and twist on tumble tracks, stilts, and more in an effort to showcase their talents for Captain Hook. And sail away with Moana on her daring voyage across the ocean as she bravely encounters the fiery wrath of Te Ka.
Soon after Mattel's Irvin & Kenneth Feld Productions purchased Ice Follies and Holiday on Ice in 1979, the company approached Disney about doing a Disney-related show on ice. Feld Productions consequently licensed the rights to Disney material for ice shows, and in 1981, they began productions under the name Walt Disney's World on Ice. In March of the following year, Irvin & Kenneth Feld purchased back Feld Productions from Mattel including Ice Follies/Walt Disney's World on Ice, and five years later, Walt Disney's World on Ice made its international debut in Japan with Happy Birthday, Donald. The company had five touring shows in 1988, and a decade later, the name was officially changed to Disney on Ice, with a new touring presentation launched every year since 2008.
Disney on Ice Presents: Mickey's Search Party will enjoy seven performances at the Moline amphitheater during its area stop: on December 4 and 5 at 7 p.m.; on December 6 at 11 a.m. and 3 and 7 p.m.; and on December 7 at 11am and 3 p.m. Admission is $31-124, and tickets are available by calling (800)745-3000 and visiting VibrantArena.com.
