Disney On Ice Mickey and Friends

Disney On Ice Mickey and Friends is a show that replaced Celebrations in 2016. The show was upgraded with a newer storyline and marked the debut of Inside Out and Finding Dory to Disney On Ice.

From 2016 to 2018, the show's storyline featured Riley who is practicing for the championship as the emotions inside her head try to find memories to help her with the game. The show featured the stories of Beauty and the Beast, The Sorcerer's Apprentice, Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, excerpts from the Disney Princesses (Brave, Princess and the Frog, Cinderella, The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, Mulan, and Tangled), Finding Dory, Toy Story, and Frozen.

The show marked the return of Merida from Brave after a 2 year absence and appears in productions to this day and the debut of Finding Dory (who would appear in 3 other productions) and Inside Out (which only appears in this production)

In July 2018, the show updated to celebrate Mickey's 90th Birthday, and omitted the stories of Snow White and Beauty and the Beast (Belle and Snow White along with Prince Adam still appeared in the Princess segment) and added two live hosts. The show incorporated new bits as well including several moments for audience participation. The show has gone through several name changes including Celebrates Mickey and Friends, Mickey's Super Celebration, Celebrate Memories and then Mickey and Friends when the show returned in 2021.

Starting in 2023, the show had numerous changes. Instead of an interactive cowboy dance (recycled from Disney Live), the Hoedown number from Disney On Ice presents Toy Story 3 takes it's place. Belle gets a skating solo added back in after her story was removed from Follow Your Heart. The show was rearranged with the addition of an Encanto segment with Inside Out being removed.
