Last night we attended the Disney on Ice opening night of "Mickey's Search Party" at the Golden 1 Center. This is the first time this show has come to Sacramento! We have been going to Disney on Ice shows since my oldest was one and he is going on thirteen. This show was by far my all time favorite! We were ecstatic to see Mickey, Minnie and friends as they introduced us to some of our Disney favorites, Beauty and the Beast, Toy Story, Moana, our favorite part of the show Coco, some Pirate action with Captain Hook, Aladdin, The Little Mermaid and Frozen. You can catch Mickey's Search Party at the Golden 1 Center all this weekend February 13-17, 2020.
As part of the media, we were treated to pre-show fun. I am so grateful for these unique and special opportunities. They had Disney-Pixar's Coco inspired arts and crafts as well as snacks and a special visit from Minnie Mouse. This show has only toured thirty-three cities in the 2019 season. There are approximately forty Disney characters featured in this show.
The show opens with Mickey and his friends dancing and getting the crowd excited, that is one unique part of this show, there was a lot of crowd interaction. Captain Hook and his pirates trap and capture Tinker Bell and her wand. The only way Tinker Bell can be set free is to fill up the Magic Meter. You are then taken on a magical journey, a "Search Party" to search for clues to fill up the Magic Meter, with all the Disney favorite songs. You'll enjoy "Be our Guest" from Beauty and the Beast, Toy Story action with Andy's Toy Box. You'll sail away with Moana which I loved this rendition of the show, enjoy "How Far I'll Go", sing along with Maui in "You're Welcome", and more! My absolute favorite part of the show was Coco, with "Remember Be" and "Un Poco Loco" I only wish this part was longer, the beautiful dancing and colorful costumes were fantastic. Each story helps fill the Magic Meter and fill our hearts, we absolutely loved singing and dancing a long.
This show is absolutely AMAZING, you will not regret attending! There is jaw dropping acrobatics, spectacular dancing, stunts, and fun surprises throughout the presentation. Characters come from all sides of the Golden 1 Center, they are up and down the aisles, the Toy Story toy box fun is interactive with a giant ball bouncing through the audience. This show has one of the fastest costume changes done in less than thirty seconds. There was a flying blimp from Hawaiian Airlines dropping some sort of surprise, I have no idea if it was free airline tickets or discount coupons. Somebody please let me know if you find out.
There is a brief intermission after the Coco presentation which is great for bathroom breaks, and to replenish your refillable soda cup (the best deal at Golden 1). After intermission the show starts back with Captain Hook and the Pirates, followed by everyone's favorite Genie, sing along with "Never Had a Friend Like Me" from Aladdin as well as my favorite "A Whole New World", I only wish there was a magic carpet visit, but they still did a great job. You are then transported "Under the Sea" with the Little Mermaid. For the Little Mermaid part they changed up the classic song "Kiss the Girl" a bit and I absolutely loved this rendition. The show closes out with Frozen which is a little different in this show too! Kristoff and his friends do some great ice skating tricks and flips with ramps. Normally the Frozen part has all the girls excited and singing along, my boys really enjoyed this change up with exciting jumps and stunts. We girls were still able to sing our hearts out to "Let it Go". In true Disney style, we get our happy ending with Tinker Bell's return. You are also treated with a grand finale visit of all the characters and some favorite friends like Tiger and Winnie the Pooh. Out of all the Disney on Ice presentations I have seen, this one by far is my favorite!
Be sure to save money by reserving parking ahead of time with SacPark.org or ParkingPanda.com. It is super easy, I reserved parking right on my phone, it gave me a QR code to scan. Most parking garages are a short walk, and there are crowds of people parking and walking with you to and from the Golden One Center. Even at night, it was well lit, and there are crowds of people parking and walking with you to and from Golden One Center. If it is your first time visiting the Golden One Center, I recommend you give yourself plenty of time to arrive and locate parking, especially allocate time for traffic flow. There are quite a few parking garages to choose from or street parking if available.

TIPS
- Reserve your parking space ahead of time!
- Arrive early! I like to arrive between 6 PM - 6:15 PM (Find parking, Go through Security, Use the Restroom, shop the Vendors).
- Park near a light, it is dark when you leave and this makes it easy to find your car.
- In the middle of the show there will be a intermission time. As soon as you hear the intercom announcement coming on, hurry to the restrooms, you will avoid the lines.
- If you are are purchasing a snow cone or souvenir from the concession vendors, I recommend, purchasing before the show starts or at the beginning of intermission. The lines are long if you hesitate during intermission.
- They sell popcorn and cotton candy right at your seat.
- Snow cone souvenir cups depending on the character cup you choose are $18 & $14.
- Popcorn comes with a Disney Mickey Bucket for $18, or a smaller version in a box is available for $10.
- Cotton Candy comes with a Souvenir hat and is $18.
- If you have little ones that want to dress in their princess dresses or Disney costumes, do it, there are many kids dressed up. My boys usually wear their favorite Disney T-Shirt.
- My boys love that I bring glow in the dark necklaces/bracelets from the dollar store. They do sell spinning and light up toys, being a frequent Disney on Ice attendee, they already have the spinning and light up toy and sword.
- Plan on the show with intermission lasting 7 PM to 9 PM.
- Baby bags, plastic bottles, and formula are permitted in Golden 1 Center as long as the bag is no larger than 16” x 16” x 8".
- Child Admission: In most instances, children under twenty-four (24) months of age are admitted free of charge in Golden 1 Center for events provided that they sit on an adult’s lap. Please note that some events may have varying age requirements. Please see specific show guidelines for more information.
