Disney On Ice presents Let's Dance!: Dates, Tickets & Venue (Pasay)

Five films on one sheet of ice

Picture a full ice rink laid over an arena floor that usually hosts basketball. That is the setting for Disney On Ice presents Let’s Dance!, which runs at SM Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay through November and December 2026.

The show strings together stories from five Disney films:

• The Little Mermaid, Ariel’s undersea world
• Moana, the ocean voyage
• The Lion King, the Pride Lands
• Frozen 2, Anna and Elsa beyond Arendelle
• Wish, Asha’s story, the newest film in the set

The theme is dance. Each segment works as a production number on skates, so the songs children already know carry the whole evening. Feld Entertainment produces Disney On Ice and tours it worldwide. Manila is a regular stop on its Asian circuits.

Inside SM Mall of Asia Arena

The arena is easy to spot from the bay: a big, curving building at the edge of the Mall of Asia complex. It opened in 2012 and has become Metro Manila’s main venue for touring concerts and family shows. Seating rises in tiers around the floor.

For an ice show, the floor holds the rink and the lower seats sit closest to the skaters. The upper levels lose some detail but take in the full stage picture: the formations, the lighting on the ice, the big ensemble numbers. Families with small children often prefer the lower sections, because the characters skate right past the boards.

The rink keeps the bowl cooler than the humid evening outside. A light layer for the kids makes sense, even in December.

Getting to Bay City

The arena stands on reclaimed land west of EDSA, close to the Manila Bay shoreline. No rail line stops at the door, so most visitors combine train, bus or car:

• EDSA Carousel bus: the busway’s southern stretch serves the Mall of Asia area. It is the most direct public option from Quezon City or Makati.
• LRT Line 1: EDSA or Baclaran stations, then a short jeepney, bus or ride-hail trip west to the complex.
• MRT-3: the line ends at Taft Avenue, which links to LRT-1 EDSA. From there it is the same short ride.
• Grab or taxi: the usual choice for families with strollers. Drop-offs around the arena get crowded just before and after a show.
• Driving: the Mall of Asia complex has several multi-level car parks, and parking near the arena fills on show nights.

NAIA airport is close. For visitors flying in, the arena is one of the easiest big venues in the metro to reach from a terminal.

How families handle a show night at MOA

A Disney On Ice crowd here is mostly children, and many of them come in costume. Elsa gowns and Moana outfits are common in the queues. Parents treat the mall as part of the outing: lunch or merienda in the complex, then a walk across to the arena.

Habits that make the night smoother:

• Security bag checks are standard at SM venues, so families keep bags small and easy to open.
• Merchandise stands in the concourse sell light-up wands and souvenirs. Many parents agree a souvenir budget with the kids at the arena doors.
• Intermission sends everyone to the restrooms and food counters at once. Families who go during the first half, between numbers, wait less.
• Payment: card and e-wallets such as GCash are widely accepted across the SM complex. Some parents still carry a little cash for smaller stalls.
• Leaving: the exit crush after the finale is real. Many families wait in their seats a few minutes or stroll back through the mall before calling a car.

Disney On Ice shows usually last about two hours with one intermission. That fits a nap-time or early-evening slot for younger children.

Before and after, around the bay

The arena shares its block with plenty to fill an afternoon. SM Mall of Asia is one of the largest malls in the country, and its restaurant rows give families plenty of choice before a show. The large globe outside the main mall is the usual meeting point.

West of the mall, the seaside promenade faces Manila Bay. This waterfront is known for its sunsets, and families often walk there before an evening performance. SM by the Bay, the amusement strip along the water, adds a Ferris wheel and carnival rides for children who still have energy left.

Where the schedule and tickets live

Disney On Ice’s official site lists the Let’s Dance! performance dates for Pasay and links to the authorised ticket seller. Seating maps there show the arena’s sections for the ice-show layout. The show is booked for November–December 2026, a holiday-season run that lines up with school breaks and Christmas outings in Metro Manila.
