Disney’s ‘Worlds of Fantasy’: Beloved Characters on Ice at Verizon Center

While some are fretting about Friday the 13th, an underwhelming Valentine’s Day or “Fifty Shades of Grey,” this weekend brings the chance to go in an opposite and happy direction. How about Disney on Ice: “Worlds of Fantasy”? The ice spectacular — put on by Feld Entertainment — is at the Verizon Center through Feb. 16.

Disney’s “Worlds of Fantasy” showcases skating and enchanting characters from Disney/Pixar’s “Cars” and “Toy Story 3” and Disney’s “Tinker Bell” and “The Little Mermaid.” See Lightning McQueen race across the ice, Buzz Lightyear and Woody bicker, Tinker Bell’s Pixie Hollow and Ariel’s undersea kingdom. They all come to life on the ice, as young and old recall their favorite Disney moments. No shades of gray here, just vibrant color and characters around the ice rink. There is a show tonight, Saturday has three shows and Sunday two, and on Presidents’ Day, one last show. Check DisneyOnIce.com for details.
