Produced by Feld Entertainment, Disney On Ice presents Mickey’s Search Party is brought to South Africa by leading local promoter, Showtime Management and proudly presented in association with FNB. The show opens in Pretoria on Saturday, 27 June 2026 at SunBet Arena, Time Square, and continues for a limited season ending on Sunday, 05 July 2026. Thereafter, Disney On Ice skates into GrandWest, Cape Town, on Friday, 10 July through Sunday, 19 July 2026, before moving to Durban’s International Convention Centre Arena from Friday, 24 July to Sunday, 26  July 2026.

“We’ve been looking forward to opening this show since we confirmed these runs last year, and we know fans can’t wait to join Mickey Mouse and his friends on their search for Tinker Bell,” says Tony Feldman of Showtime Management. “Partnering with FNB helps us bring all the magic and incredible special effects to the show – audiences will love it!”

FNB Events Marketing Lead, Nkosana Matyeshana, says the bank is proud to partner with Disney On Ice once again, to bring world-class family entertainment to South African audiences during the winter school holidays.

“At FNB, we understand that families are looking for meaningful moments of connection and shared experiences, especially in an environment where daily financial pressures continue to shape household decisions. Through partnerships like this, we want to help make memorable experiences more accessible for our customers and their loved ones. Disney On Ice offers a unique opportunity for families to come together and step into a world of imagination and wonder, and we’re delighted to play a role in helping create those lasting memories. As a brand that’s focused on delivering help that is relevant and meaningful, this partnership reflects our commitment to creating real value for our customers by enabling experiences that bring them and their loved ones closer together.” 

The technology involved in bringing Disney On Ice presents Mickey’s Search Party and its world-class skating, high-flying acrobatics and unexpected stunts to audiences is incredible. Fifteen fully packed trucks bring the production to each venue, and the ice-skating surface alone is 35 metres long and 18 metres wide. There are around 173 costumes used during the show, with costume changes of less than 30 seconds required in some instances! The largest prop weighs 450kg, and the set’s highest point towers 11m up in the air. The lighting design uses 221 fixtures, 185 of them moveable, and 12 powerful projectors create immersive, magical worlds. Sound-wise, 100 speaker groups deliver a massive 200,000 watts of power!

It’s time for magic at Disney On Ice, and tickets are selling fast! See Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald, Goofy and their friends from Moana, Coco, Frozen, Toy Story, Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast, and The Little Mermaid.

Running from Friday 3 to Monday 13 July in the Food Court, the immersive play experience will transform this part of the mall into an interactive soccer-themed activity zone where children, teens and even competitive parents can put their skills to the test across seven exciting challenges. Open daily from 10 am to 8 pm, tickets will be available at the activation area for R50 per participant.

Visitors will stand a chance to win incredible prizes, including 1 of 5 official Bafana Bafana jerseys, 5 x R1 000 Studio 88 vouchers and spot prizes from EL&N, Honor, Lego, McDonalds, New Balance, Spur, Totalsports and Toy Kingdom. The first 100 participants through The Goal Zone will have the opportunity to customise a Krispy Kreme Original glazed doughnut.

Winter Holiday Fun with a Competitive Twist

Created as a high-energy school holiday attraction, The Goal Zone activities will include a mix of football skills, speed, coordination and playful rivalry, giving young fans the chance to celebrate the game, test their skills and soak up the excitement of the World Cup.

Whether visitors are showing off fancy footwork or simply trying something new, the experience is designed to entertain a wide range of ages, with selected challenges designed for the whole family to enjoy, while bringing a lively, sporty atmosphere to the winter break.

Visitors will be able to test their power in Speed Kick, take aim in Beat the Keeper, sharpen reaction times at the Reflex Wall, or put their accuracy to the test in Through the Hoops. Those looking for something a little different will be able to try their hand at Footgolf, challenge friends and family in Sit Down Soccer, or see how long they can keep the ball in the air during Keepie Uppies.

Created to mimic an indoor astroturf-style arena complete with playful sporting touches, The Goal Zone will bring all the excitement of a match-day atmosphere into a fun, family-friendly holiday experience.

A School Holiday Outing With Extra Energy

As cooler weather settles in, The Goal Zone will offer families an indoor activity that encourages children to stay active while adding something different to the school holiday calendar. Positioned in the heart of the mall, the football experience will also make it easy for families to pair the experience with lunch, shopping or a full day out.

Whether it is siblings competing for bragging rights, friends challenging one another to beat the leaderboard or parents quietly proving they still have a winning kick, The Goal Zone is all about getting involved, having fun and making winter holiday memories.

The Goal Zone will run from 3 – 13 July 2026 in the Mall of Africa Food Court. Tickets are available onsite for R50 per participant.
