New magical Disney on Ice experiences coming to Atlantic City

When Walt Disney first brought the Mickey Mouse character to life in 1928, he could not have imagined that his creation would become one of the biggest icons in the world.

Almost one hundred years later, millions of visitors go to Disneyland in California and Disney World in Florida to experience the "magic" that Walt Disney first started with Mickey Mouse.  But you may not know that New Jersey holds an important and unique place in the history of Disney's character popularity.

What we know today as Disney On Ice was first performed on July 14, 1981 at the New Jersey Meadowlands. Called "Walt Disney’s World On Ice", the show's success in New Jersey laid the groundwork for over 40 years of ice skating performances showcasing Disney's most beloved characters.

Over the last 44 years, Disney on Ice has come to New Jersey 1-2 times each winter. The next performance will be a special showcase at one of the state's most famous arenas.
