There’s something about Disney that never leaves you. Maybe it’s the first time you watched a princess twirl across the screen, or that moment when your kids’ eyes lit up as the castle sparkled before a movie began. This November, all that magic isn’t on the screen—it’s gliding right across the ice in Pittsburgh.
From November 6–10, PPG Paints Arena transforms into a wonderland as Disney On Ice brings your favorite characters to life in a show that’s equal parts nostalgia, artistry, and pure joy.
What to Expect: Stories That Glide and Sparkle
Picture Mickey and Minnie leading the way, introducing timeless Disney tales as they unfold with music, lights, and stunning choreography. You’ll hear the songs you’ve sung a hundred times before—this time wrapped in dazzling costumes and skaters who make it all feel larger than life.
- ❄️ Frozen’s Elsa and Anna reminding us to “Let It Go” as snowflakes shimmer across the arena.
- 🧜♀️ Ariel’s under-the-sea adventure splashing to life with vibrant colors.
- 🦁 Simba’s roar echoing as The Lion King takes center stage.
- 🌟 Classic princesses, daring heroes, and maybe even a few surprises for Disney fans of every generation.
It’s not just a show—it’s a chance to share in the wonder, whether you’re bringing your little ones for their first magical memory or treating yourself to a night of childlike joy.
Why Pittsburgh in November Makes It Extra Special
The crisp autumn air outside, the city lights of downtown glowing, and the buzz of excited kids bundled in scarves—it all adds to the atmosphere. Pittsburgh in November feels cozy and electric at the same time, and walking into the arena, you can’t help but feel a little swept up in the moment.
Make It a Weekend to Remember
Don’t just make it a show—make it an escape.
✨ Before the performance, grab a family-friendly dinner downtown. Market Square is just minutes away, with festive lights and plenty of dining options.
✨ Extend the magic with a ride up the Duquesne Incline to see the skyline sparkle at night.
✨ Afterward, head back to your own warm and welcoming space—because let’s be honest, kids (and parents) are happily exhausted after a night of Disney-level excitement.

Final Thoughts
Disney On Ice isn’t just a performance—it’s a chance to pause, smile, and remember how good it feels to believe in magic, even for just a few hours.

So bundle up, grab the tickets, and let yourself be swept into a world where anything is possible—on ice.
