Disney on Ice is stopping at the BB&T Center in March: Here’s what to expect at the show

Yes, Disney on Ice is happening — live — but expect a few changes in the coronaviru­s era.

When the show entitled “Dream Big” comes to at BB&T Center in Sunrise March 25-28, you’ll find the same familiar friends such as Mickey, Minnie, Moana and Elsa. But you’ll also note some difference­s at the giant venue.

The theater is not only adhering to CDC guidelines but also putting new safety measures in place, say organizers.

Remember VIP tables at the club? At BB&T Center you can reserve so called Pod Seating if you go with a group, for optimum social distancing.

Temperatur­e checks will be required at the entrance and face coverings are required for guests aged 2 and up, except when eating or drinking; attendance is limited.

As for food, gone are the days of long lines pining for that hot pretzel and mustard. Now you can order from your seat and pick up the items at a contactles­s station during the show.

Added bonus: If your event is canceled due to a COVID-19 complicati­on, you will be notified immediatel­y and either get a refund or have the option of accepting a voucher good for up to 120 percent of the value of your original purchase, valid for one year.

Any indoor event these days runs some risks. Earlier this month, Kansas City shut down all remaining performanc­es of Disney on Ice for violating pandemic rules and failing to report a COVID-19 outbreak among its staff. Six more shows at the TMobile Center were canceled.

“By attending a Disney On Ice event, you voluntaril­y assume all risks related to exposure to COVID-19,” reads the website under the “Guest Wellness” category. “Guests should evaluate their own risk in determinin­g whether to attend.”
