(A Magical Family Adventure We Can’t Wait to Experience This November)
There’s a special kind of excitement that fills our home whenever Disney magic comes to town. From singing “Let It Go” one too many times to re-watching Moana for the hundredth time, my kids live and breathe Disney joy — and honestly, I love it just as much as they do.
So when we found out that Disney On Ice presents Jump In! is gliding into UBS Arena in Belmont Park, Long Island from November 12 through 16, 2025, it instantly became one of the must-do family events on our calendar.
This all-new show brings together over 50 beloved Disney characters, dazzling skating, aerial acrobatics, and even new favorites from Moana 2 and Inside Out 2 — all just a short drive from our home here in New York.
A Brand-New Disney Adventure on Long Island
I love when big family events come close to home — no planes, no long car rides — just a local night of pure magic.
Disney On Ice presents Jump In! takes audiences on an interactive adventure as Mickey, Minnie, Donald, and Goofy use their Magical Mouse Pad to journey through some of Disney’s most beloved worlds.
Families across Queens, Nassau County, and Suffolk County can look forward to:
✨ Over 50 Disney characters — from Elsa and Rapunzel to Woody and Buzz.
✨ Brand-new scenes from Moana 2 and Inside Out 2, appearing on ice for the first time.
✨ Aerial acrobatics that make Rapunzel and Ariel soar above the rink.
✨ Classic songs like “Let It Go,” “We Don’t Talk About Bruno,” and “Try Everything.”
✨ Interactive moments that get kids dancing and clapping along.

It’s Disney magic with a true New York energy — the kind that brings local families together and leaves everyone smiling the whole way home.
If your family loves immersive experiences, you’ll definitely enjoy our post about Bluey x CAMP NYC — another imaginative adventure that brought our kids’ favorite characters to life right here in New York City.
Olaf’s Festive Preshow — Start the Night with Holiday Cheer
If your family loves Frozen (and who doesn’t?), make sure to arrive early for Olaf’s Festive Preshow — included with select performances.
Olaf explores holiday traditions with Elsa and Anna in this adorable mini-show that sets the perfect tone for the night. It’s festive, funny, and full of joy — the perfect warm-up before the skating magic begins.
To keep the holiday spirit going, check out our visit to Dutch Wonderland Santa’s Beach Bash — another family-favorite event filled with lights, laughter, and kid-friendly fun.
(You can double-check dates and times at DisneyOnIce.com.)

Meet Moana Before the Show
For an extra sprinkle of magic, upgrade your tickets to include the “Follow the Stars with Moana” Character Experience before select shows.
You’ll meet Moana herself, hear tales of her latest adventures, and even snap a photo with Mickey Mouse before the main performance begins. Each guest (age 2 and up) needs both a Character Experience ticket and a show ticket — but honestly, it’s a moment your kids will remember forever.

Why We Can’t Wait
Even though we haven’t gone yet, the countdown has officially begun in our house. My daughter already has her Minnie ears ready — she’s been talking non-stop about seeing Mickey and Minnie skate across the ice. 💫
There’s something so special about sharing these kinds of moments together — especially right here in our Long Island community. Watching her excitement build every day reminds me why we love family-friendly experiences like this so much.
We don’t have to go all the way into Manhattan to find the magic; this year, it’s skating right into Belmont Park and bringing that unforgettable Disney On Ice sparkle to families across New York.

Mom-Tested Tips for a Smooth Night Out
- Buy early. Long Island shows sell out fast.
- Arrive 45 minutes before showtime. Parking fills quickly!
- Dress in layers. Arenas get chilly near the ice.
- Bring glow toys from home. Save money and still have fun.
- Pack a small blanket. Perfect for little ones who get cold.
- Charge your phone. You’ll want those photos for memories (and Instagram 😉).
- Plan a bite after the show. Floral Park and Mineola have great family-friendly spots.
- Make it festive. This is the perfect way to kick off the holiday season on Long Island.
