Nashville, Tenn. – Disney On Ice, Feld Entertainment’s traveling ice skating spectacular, recently had its most successful run ever at Bridgestone Arena with 37,874 fans stepping through the turnstiles Oct. 4-7.

“Feld Entertainment, the promoter responsible for bringing fans the magic of Disney On Ice, consistently brings quality events for families to Nashville,” Bridgestone Arena VP of Booking David Kells said. “This year’s Disney On Ice presents Worlds of Fantasy show was a wonderful mix for children of all ages, featuring a variety of characters from Toy Story, Cars and The Little Mermaid, and Tinker Bell and the Disney Fairies. With so many spectacular Disney stories to choose from, we expect next year’s event to be even bigger and better.”
