Essential performance schedule:

  • Friday, December 12: 7:30 PM
  • Saturday, December 13: 2:00 PM and 7:30 PM
  • Sunday, December 14: 1:00 PM and 6:30 PM (final shows)
Note

The Sunday 6:30 PM curtain is the very last Austin performance of the tour, so expect more emotional energy in the room and potentially faster‑moving tickets for that finale.

The production runs 2 hours and 30 minutes including intermission and is recommended for ages 6 and up. All attendees must have a ticket, and families who want to preview the experience can browse the North American tour cast and creatives or watch Disney’s video feature on the show’s tour across North America.

Pro Tip

For younger or early‑bedtime kids, a matinee is usually the smoothest option—between the 2.5‑hour runtime and campus parking, daytime shows feel more relaxed than late evenings.

Venue logistics:
Bass Concert Hall sits at 2350 Robert Dedman Drive on the UT Austin campus and is part of the Texas Performing Arts complex. UT event parking requires a separate purchase, and weekend evenings fill quickly, so plan extra time and consider broader Austin December 2025 mobility & money hacks if you’re stacking multiple events. Tickets start at $36 and can be purchased directly from Texas Performing Arts or via Broadway in Austin, the official presenter for touring Broadway shows.

Heads Up

UT garages near Bass Concert Hall can back up fast before weekend performances, especially during finals and holiday event season. Pre‑purchase parking when you can and give yourself at least 30–45 minutes to park and walk in.

Insider intelligence:

  • Saturday's 2 PM show is the lowest‑stress option for families: easier parking, daylight arrival, and faster campus exit, especially if you’re juggling other kid‑friendly outings like Austin holiday lights with kids.
Pro Tip

If you want the calmest lobby vibes and the least frazzled parking experience, target the Saturday 2 PM matinee—daylight arrivals plus thinner campus traffic make it the most kid‑friendly slot.

  • If you want the most emotionally charged audience experience, the Sunday 6:30 PM finale typically draws superfans and cast supporters, and you can get a broader sense of Disney stage magic via Disney on Broadway’s official hub.

  • UT campus garages closest to Bass, like the San Jacinto Garage, fill earliest. Arrive 45 minutes before curtain for stress‑free entry, and if you’re heading downtown afterward, check our December guide to navigating Austin’s convention center construction.

  • Pre‑show dining is easiest along Manor Road or at the Triangle to avoid campus snarls, or make it a nostalgic late‑night by pairing the performance with a visit to Katz's Never Kloses on West 6th.

  • Matinees generally have shorter concession lines and quieter lobbies, which pairs well with a relaxed reset day if you’re also sneaking in a LakeHouse Spa 11‑step scalp treatment.

If you're planning a full cultural weekend, pair the show with seasonal outings nearby, like Fortlandia at the Wildflower Center or a strategic loop through Austin holiday markets. You can also work in a stop at the Armadillo Christmas Bazaar’s 50th season or other December arts events like Robin Kang’s “The Light That Grows Here” exhibition for a full‑on Austin culture circuit.
