Disney on Ice at SAP Center -- A Bay Area Family Tradition

Disney on Ice has been delighting Bay Area families for decades, and the Find Your Hero production is one of the most ambitious shows in the franchise history. Produced by Feld Entertainment, the company behind Ringling Bros. and Monster Jam, Disney on Ice combines elite figure skating with theatrical storytelling, elaborate sets, and the Disney catalog that spans nearly a century of animated classics. The result is a live experience that translates the emotion and spectacle of Disney films onto a sheet of ice in a way that genuinely surprises even the most seasoned theme park veterans.

The Find Your Hero show stands out from previous Disney on Ice productions because of its emphasis on personal courage and self-discovery. Rather than simply retelling familiar plots, the show weaves multiple stories together around the theme of finding the hero within yourself. Mirabel from Encanto learns that her worth is not defined by a magical gift. Moana discovers that the ocean chose her for a reason. Rapunzel literally lets down her hair and steps into the unknown. These are stories kids connect with on a deeply personal level, and seeing them performed live -- with real athletes executing triple jumps and spirals -- adds a layer of awe that a screen simply cannot match.

SAP Center, home to the San Jose Sharks, is one of the premier indoor arenas on the West Coast with a seating capacity of over 17,000 for center-stage events. The venue is located in downtown San Jose at 525 West Santa Clara Street, directly accessible from the VTA Light Rail Diridon Station and minutes from Interstate 280 and Highway 87. Parking is available in multiple lots surrounding the arena, and the downtown location puts you within walking distance of restaurants and shops along San Pedro Square and The Alameda.

Seven performances across four days give San Jose families plenty of flexibility. Thursday and Friday evenings are ideal for a special weeknight treat, while the Saturday and Sunday matinees at 11:00 AM, 1:00 PM, and 3:00 PM offer prime slots for younger kids. Whichever showtime you pick, BigStub has verified tickets at every price level -- backed by over 20 years of trusted service and a full buyer guarantee on every order.

How to Get Disney on Ice Tickets in San Jose

Step 1: Pick Your Date and Showtime. Disney on Ice: Find Your Hero plays SAP Center from October 22 through 25, 2026, with seven total performances. Evening shows on Thursday and Friday start at 7:00 PM, while Saturday and Sunday feature multiple matinees starting as early as 11:00 AM. Consider your group -- younger children often do better at matinees, while older kids and adults might prefer an evening show for a more relaxed pace.

Step 2: Choose Your Seats. SAP Center is a large arena, so seating options range from floor-level VIP experiences near the ice to upper-level sections with a full panoramic view of the show.
