The event begins in Toronto in December and will go to eight other locations in North America – Denver; Cleveland; Detroit; Boston; Nashville; Columbus, Ohio; Minneapolis; and San Antonio – in early 2023. Many cities are in the process of scheduling and exhibitions will even make their way to Tokyo, opening the door to the possibility of more international cities.
Prices start at $39.99 and tickets are currently on sale for all locations. That price includes admission only, but you can buy premium tickets and VIP tickets that come with extra perks like interactive wristbands, line-in access, and souvenirs.

Disney will bring these animated blockbusters to life in partnership with Lighthouse Immersive Studios, makers of similar multi-sensory, experiential projection exhibitions starring Van Gogh, Kahlo and other world famous historical icons.
“Imagine traveling through Zootopia with Judy Hopps, diving to the bottom of the ocean with Ariel, flying on a magic carpet with Aladdin, and stepping into Casita with Mirabel and the Madrigal family,” said Lighthouse Immersive founder Corey Ross talk about the project. “This is where Disney Animation: Immersive Experience will take you.”
To experience this “whole new world” of Disney animation for yourself, visit the “Disney Animation: Immersive Experience“and choose the city closest to you to buy tickets. Keep an eye out for additional cities that will be added at a later date.
