Join Mickey Mouse and his friends for adventure and hijinks at “Disney on Ice presents Road Trip Adventures,” Dec. 11-14, PPL Center, Allentown.

Families will experience magical Disney moments, dazzling stunts and character interaction.

Special effects and innovative technology enhance the journey.

It’s an immersive experience with audience participation, from sing-alongs to on-stage events, with one lucky family invited to ride in the “Magic Mobile.”

Performer and figure skater Marcus Mimidis, a native of Lancaster County, joined Feld Entertainment in 2013. In addition to “Road Trip Adventures,” he has performed in “Disney on Ice presents “Princesses & Heroes,” “100 Years of Magic” and “Dream Big.”

Mimidis began skating at age 9. After watching the 2002 Olympic Games, he developed a strong interest in speed-skating.

“There was actually no speed skating coaching or training in our area,” Mimidis says in a phone interview. “So instead, I became a competitive figure skater.

“My parents got me on the ice to learn to skate and I just haven’t stopped.”

Mimidis attended Manheim Township High School, Lancaster County, and The Pennsylvania Cyber Charter School. He trained at The Skating Club of Wilmington, Del., and is a three-time national competitor, placing 19th in Intermediate class, 2009; 11th in Novice class, 2011; and 9th in Junior class, 2013.

Mimidis names Johnny Weir, the two-time Olympian figure-skater, who also hails from Lancaster County, as the skater who inspired him.

“He became an extremely successful world and Olympic skater. We had the same coach for a few years while I was training out of Delaware.”

In “Road Trip Adventures,” Mimidis plays the role of Genie from “Disney’s Aladdin.”

“From the live-action adaptation that Will Smith did (in 2019), it’s a more modernized take on the classic role. It’s quite fun.

“I’m definitely drawing from history and the past iconic moments that (Disney) characters have made.

“For the role I have as Genie, I’m able to put more of myself and my own personality, and what makes sense to me, into this role, while still trying to remain true to the character.”

There is a cast of approximately 50 performers in “Disney on Ice presents Road Trip Adventures.”

“Some of them are figure skaters, some are BMX riders, some are aerialists,” says Mimidis.

“That’s something that’s really interesting about this show. We have many different types of performers. Classically, ‘Disney on Ice’ was only ice-skating but now we have more disciplines.”

Mimidis is on a six-month tour throughout the United States and in Canada. “Road Trip Adventures” is one of the newer “Disney on Ice” productions. It was initially created before the pandemic.

“The show re-opened four years ago,” says Mimidis. “In it, Minnie and Mickey Mouse take their friends, Donald and Goofy, on a road trip with the audience, and they stop at different destinations based on the Disney movies.”

Designed for all ages, the show takes audiences to various Disney settings, featuring characters and scenes from “The Lion King,” “Moana,” “Toy Story,” “Frozen,” “Aladdin,” “Mary Poppins” and “The Incredibles.” There are Disney princesses and classic characters.

The show encourages audience interaction.

“The audience has opportunities to actively participate. They can be a part of the show in different ways and interact first-hand with the performers on the ice, and with the host.

“(Audiences) can expect to see a grand production,” says Mimidis.

“The show has a lot of technical elements, a lot of different styles of performing.

“They can also expect nostalgia and to feel emotional, especially if they’re bringing families, living that experience through their children who are seeing all of this for the first time.

“It’s very sensory, very exciting and definitely worth a watch.

“It’s the holiday season so I highly recommend coming out and seeing the show. It will be a great gift for the family.”
