Disney On Ice does Cebu first: Let's Dance! opens at SM Seaside, then takes Manila for Christmas
Disney On Ice presents Let's Dance! plays the SM Seaside Cebu Arena from 28 November to 6 December 2026, then moves to the SM Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay from 18 December to 3 January. Ticketmaster's own guide publishes every showtime and price for both runs. Here is how the two legs differ, and how to pick a showtime that suits the children in the party.
Disney On Ice is a Manila Christmas tradition, and this year Cebu gets it first. Feld Entertainment's skating production, Let's Dance!, opens at the SM Seaside Cebu Arena on 28 November and plays there to 6 December, before the same production takes its usual festive slot at the SM Mall of Asia Arena from 18 December to 3 January. Both runs are confirmed, and Ticketmaster Philippines' official event guide publishes the full pattern of showtimes and prices for each venue, which makes planning unusually precise.
The Cebu run: 28 November to 6 December
Cebu gets thirteen performances across nine days. Opening day, Saturday 28 November, has shows at 3pm and 7pm, Sunday 29 November adds an 11am matinee to the same pair, and Monday 30 November has a single 3pm show. The production then rests on the Tuesday and Wednesday before evening shows on Thursday 3 and Friday 4 December, a three show Saturday on 5 December, and a closing Sunday on 6 December at 3pm and 7pm. For Cebu families that shape is kind: the weekday evenings suit school age children, and the arena, the city's newest big room, sits in the South Road Properties with the SM Seaside mall beside it. Our Cebu City guide covers the base.
The Manila run: 18 December to 3 January
Manila gets the long version: thirty four performances at the Mall of Asia Arena, opening on Friday 18 December and running through the heart of the season. There are three shows on Christmas Day itself, Friday 25 December, at 11am, 3pm and 7pm, and the pattern leans on matinees, with 1pm and 5pm pairs on several weekdays and triple show days on the weekends. The dark days are worth noting too: no performances on 21, 24, 28 or 31 December, so Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve belong to the other fixtures in our Christmas season guide and the New Year's Eve guide.
Tickets, and the small print that matters with children
The price structure is the same at both arenas: tickets run from ₱300 for the upper box regular seats to ₱5,800 for the front row, sold through Ticketmaster. The official guide sets the limits that shape a family booking: six tickets per transaction and eighteen per account at most, children under 12 months admitted without a ticket and every child older than that needing one, and minors aged 15 and below accompanied by an adult, one adult to at most three minors in the same section. Tickets are print at home and appear in your account about a week before the show, gates typically open two hours ahead, and there is no re-entry once you are in. Book the showtime around the youngest child's day, not the adults' evening: for most families the 11am and 1pm starts are the ones that end well.
Which run, which show
If you are in the Visayas, go in Cebu: the same production, the same prices, and a shorter trip than flying to Manila in December. If the trip is the point, the Manila run pairs the ice show with the full weight of the capital's Christmas season, and a Pasay base puts the arena, the bay side hotels and the airport in one district: the hotels page works through the options. Either way, the good seats at the weekend matinees are the first to go at both arenas, and the ₱300 seats are the reason this show stays a family fixture rather than a special occasion.
