Whether this is your family’s first Disney On Ice experience or an annual tradition, a little preparation can go a long way in making your outing more enjoyable. Here are five tips to help you get ready for a magical day!
1. Pack Your Bag the Right Way
Before heading out the door, double-check the Denny Sanford PREMIER Center’s clear bag policy. You’ll want to make sure yours meets the requirements before arriving, or you will be sent back to your car to put things away.
If you need a clear stadium bag, we recommend this one here; it’s especially great for those who need to carry more. You can also use a gallon-sized zip bag if you need less room. We love a crossbody bag, and this clear one here is great, too.
This includes diaper bags! Bring the essentials for the event in your clear bag. Leave your stroller in the car as well.
2. Dress Your Little Ones in Layers
While the excitement of Disney On Ice will keep everyone entertained, the arena can feel chilly, especially for little ones. Remember, the show takes place on an ice rink!
Dress your children in comfortable layers that they can easily add or remove throughout the event. Think long sleeves, cozy sweaters, and jackets or sweatshirts. You may also want to bring an extra blanket for younger children who tend to get cold sitting still.
And don’t forget to let your little Disney fans wear their favorite character shirts, dresses or accessories. It’s a fun way to get them excited for the show!
3. Arrive a Little Early
Part of the fun of attending a live event is enjoying the experience before the show even begins! Plan to arrive a little early so your family has time to get through security, find your seats, and take in the atmosphere. Arriving early also gives you time to make a restroom stop, grab a snack or settle in without feeling rushed.
4. Prepare Your Kids for the Experience
For younger children, attending a large live production can be a big experience. The music, bright lights, costumes and crowds may be different from what they’re used to.
Take a little time before the show to talk about what they can expect. Watch a few Disney On Ice videos together, talk about the characters they might see, and let them choose a favorite Disney outfit to wear.
If your child is sensitive to loud sounds or large crowds, consider bringing noise-reducing headphones. Preparing them ahead of time can help make the experience more comfortable and enjoyable.
5. Plan for the Little Extras
It’s easy to get caught up in the excitement of the show, but a few extra preparations can help make your family outing even better.
The Denny Sanford PREMIER Center is a cashless venue, so plan to bring a credit or debit card or use a digital payment option for concessions and merchandise.
You may also want to set expectations with your children about souvenirs before arriving. Disney merchandise can be exciting for little fans, and deciding ahead of time whether you’re purchasing a special item can help avoid surprises.
Most importantly, remember that the experience is about making memories together. Take in the music, cheer for your favorite characters and enjoy watching your children’s faces light up as Disney magic comes to life!
Enjoy the Show!
