In the Philippines, December is the most magical time of the year, and for many, the season isn’t complete without a visit to the SM Mall of Asia (MOA) Arena for a sprinkling of Disney On Ice magic.

Opening day was a blast. The SM MOA Arena was filled to the brim with Disney On Ice fans of all ages, buzzing with anticipation long before the first skate touched the ice. Holiday magic was truly in the air. The excitement grew even more once the show began, as this year’s production revealed new surprises.

The production brings back familiar favorites like Rapunzel and Tiana. Disney princesses charm their way into the hearts of the crowd, as timeless stories such as Aladdin, Cinderella, and The Princess and the Frog come to life on ice with a fresh spin, alongside Anna, Elsa and Olaf from Frozen 2.
