Disney On Ice: Frozen & Encanto Skates into Milwaukee
If you (or your minions of toddlers/princess-wannabes) are thinking of catching Disney on Ice: Frozen & Encanto in or around Milwaukee, here's a full guide (with tips, traps, and magic) to help you plan a delightful outing.
What is it?
Disney on Ice: Frozen & Encanto is a touring ice show combining two of Disney’s hit franchises — Frozen and Encanto — with skating, acrobatics, music, and theatrical spectacle.
Many performances also offer a preshow Character Experience (games, storytelling, meet & greets) if you upgrade your ticket.
Milwaukee & Nearby Dates
In Milwaukee, the show is scheduled at the Fiserv Forum from Feb 12 to Feb 16, 2026.
One of the performances is Feb 13, 2026, at 6:30 PM
For folks north or east, Green Bay’s Resch Center will host the show right after Milwaukee (Feb 19–23, per local announcements).
So if you’re in Schaumburg, you might even consider seeing it in Chicago (if it comes there), but Milwaukee and Green Bay are your closest reliable options.
How to Choose & Buy Tickets
Ticketing Tips
Tickets go on sale on Oct. 7 (Sign up for pre-sale alerts here)
Buy early. Disney on Ice shows often sell out or have limited availability.
Check multiple platforms — AXS, Ticketmaster, venue box offices.
Seat considerations: Closer seats (front sections) are magical for seeing expressions and special effects, but sometimes farther seats offer a better view of the full ice layout.
Accessibility & family seating: If you have strollers, mobility issues, or a big group, check with the venue in advance.
Character Experience add-on: If your child is a big fan of Elsa, Mirabel, etc., it can be worth the extra for the interactive preshow.
Getting There & Venue Logistics
Fiserv Forum, Milwaukee
Address: 1111 Vel R. Phillips Avenue, Milwaukee, WI
On event days, the ticket box office opens.
Plan for traffic, parking, and getting children settled before showtime.
Parking & Arrival Tips
Arrive early to avoid long lines.
If possible, use public parking garages or lots near the arena.
For families with small kids, aim to arrive 30–45 minutes before showtime to use restrooms, get snacks, let kids stretch.
What to Bring / Expect
Jackets or layers (ice arenas are cold).
Cameras / phones (for photos, though flash or large tripods might be disallowed).
Snacks? Some venues allow small food items; many have concession stands (but expensive).
Ear protection if kids are sensitive to noise.
Insider Tips to Level Up the Experience
Pick the right showtime. Evening shows are more dramatic with lighting; daytime shows might be more family-friendly with fewer overtired kids.
Preshow interacting matters. The Character Experience is limited, so if it’s desired, book that early.
Brief kids ahead of time. Talk about “sit quietly during skating, cheer, but stay in your seat during scenes” — helps minimize meltdowns.
Photo moments: Be ready during scenes like Elsa’s magic, Mirabel’s big moments — these are often staged with dramatic lighting.
Restroom & snack run early. Use intermission (if there is one) as your main chance to move kids.
Stay after for finale. Many Disney on Ice shows have a big closing number everyone loves.
Nearby Alternatives & Travel Considerations
If you can’t get tickets in Milwaukee, check Green Bay (Resch Center) right after.
Chicago might host the show depending on tour routing — keep an eye on Disney On Ice’s Schedule & Tickets page.
For overnight trips, consider staying near the venue (Milwaukee downtown) so you can rest and not rush.
