The incredible Disney On Ice presents Road Trip Adventures tour boasts a huge team of choreographers as well as set and costume designers who create 103 different props and 275 costumes for the extensive production.

It takes 17 trucks to take the production from city to city and approximately 14 hours to set up once at the location, all of which Gemma explores further on the podcast.

Centred around the theme of adventure, the plot of the new Road Trip Adventures show is very different to the previous Disney On Ice tours.

From bigger stunts like bikers and flying through the air, there will be even more audience interaction and additional stories from the live action movies.
