Does a 2 year old need to purchase a ticket?
Hi Margaret,
Reading the Ticketmaster website, it states “Children under 23 months are admitted free provided they sit on a parent or guardian’s lap. Children over 2 years old require a ticket.”
So assuming your child is over 2, it looks like you will need to purchase a ticket for them.
Thanks
Michael
When will Disney On Ice 2019 tickets be on sale?
Hi Cynthia,
I only just checked all of the details last night and unfortunately, there hasn’t been any information released as of yet.
The only information that is stated is “Tour cities and dates to be confirmed” and that it’s in Winter. Be that it’s usually held in July every year, it’s safe to assume 2019 will be no different.
I’ll be checking on this frequently and will update my information as soon as details are released. You aren’t alone – there is a lot of people on Facebook asking the same questions.
Thanks
Michael
