• Character appearances from Disney favorites

For many families, the magic begins before the show even starts. Children may enjoy dressing in a favorite character-inspired outfit, taking photos together and sharing which Disney friends they hope to see on the ice. Parents can make the outing even more memorable by treating the performance as the centerpiece of a full Thanksgiving weekend in Greenville.

Choosing the Best Performance for Your Family

Each showtime offers a slightly different way to plan your day.

The Wednesday evening performance at 6:00 PM is a great option for families arriving in Greenville before Thanksgiving. It gives you the opportunity to enjoy the show before the holiday rush begins.

The Friday and Saturday morning performances work well for families who prefer an earlier start. You can enjoy the show, have lunch afterward and still have time for shopping, exploring downtown Greenville or relaxing at your hotel.

The Friday, Saturday and Sunday afternoon performances offer a comfortable balance for families who want a slower morning. They may also be a convenient choice for visitors traveling into the area on the same day.

Remember that children over age 2 must have a ticket for events at Bon Secours Wellness Arena. Review the ticket information for your specific performance when purchasing.

Tickets and Planning Ahead

Tickets are available through the Bon Secours Wellness Arena event page, the arena box office and online ticketing platforms. The arena listing directs guests to Ticketmaster for online purchases.

Buying from the official arena or event ticketing channels is the best way to review current prices, seating availability, venue policies and any available ticket packages. Ticket availability may change as Thanksgiving weekend approaches, particularly for popular Saturday performances.

Bon Secours Wellness Arena also maintains a clear bag policy. Guests should review the policy before arriving so they know what bags and personal items are permitted inside. Arena food and beverage concessions are cashless, accepting debit cards, credit cards and mobile payments. Guests who need to exchange cash for a Visa gift card can do so at the arena box office.

For parking, the arena provides information about nearby city garages, private event-day lots, rideshare drop-off and accessible parking on its official parking page. Arriving early is especially helpful for families with strollers, young children or accessibility needs.

Make a Thanksgiving Weekend of It in Greenville

Disney On Ice can easily become part of a larger holiday weekend itinerary. Greenville offers plenty to see and do before or after the performance, including downtown restaurants, local shopping and seasonal attractions.

Families may enjoy:

• A relaxed meal at a Greenville restaurant

• An afternoon walk through downtown

• Holiday shopping and browsing local boutiques

• Seasonal events and decorations throughout the city

• A quiet evening back at the hotel with snacks and a family movie

If you are traveling from outside the area, staying overnight can make the experience more comfortable. There is no need to hurry home after an evening show or manage a long drive after a busy day with children. A hotel stay also gives your family space to slow down and enjoy Greenville at an easy pace.
