Blades, Buzz and Bibbidi-Bobbidi Brilliance as Disney on Ice Skates Back into South Florida

Published

Be Our Guest, Then Hold On Tight as Disney on Ice Sends Pirates, Pixie Dust and Power Moves Flying Across the Ice at Watsco Center April 16th–19th.

April 10th, 2026

There’s a moment early in Mickey’s Search Party where things flip fast. It starts with smooth skating, the kind people expect when they hear Disney. Then someone’s airborne. Then another. Suddenly the ice feels like a launchpad, and you’re left wondering how that just happened in real time.

For Kelley Harding, one of the many performers stitching the show together, that mix of precision and unpredictability is the hook.

“We have such an amazing show,” Harding said. “It’s not just all fully ice skating. There are so many different acrobatic aspects to it, and it just makes it so much cooler.”

The story follows Mickey Mouse, Minnie, Donald, and Goofy on a mission to recover Tinker Bell’s stolen magic. The crowd has a role in it too, helping fill a “magic meter” that keeps the search moving. Kids catch on quick. Adults usually follow a beat later.

From there, the show keeps shifting scenes without slowing down.

Beauty and the Beast brings a little elegance, with performers floating above the ice during “Be Our Guest.” Then Toy Story rolls in with Woody, Buzz, and the crew, plus crowd interaction that feels more like organized chaos than choreography.

“You’re really able to see the story brought to life,” Harding said. “Even in those shorter segments, it doesn’t feel rushed.”

No long pauses. No dragging moments. Just one scene handing things off to the next.

Moana and Coco keep the tempo up, while the second act leans into spectacle. Pirates crash in, energy spikes, and Ariel and Eric take to the air in a straps sequence that trades the ocean for open space above the ice.

And just when it settles, something else pops.

Trampolines. Hoverboards. Quick bursts of acrobatics layered into the flow.

“There’s always something happening,” Harding said.

That constant motion carries into the crowd. The hesitation from adults usually fades early. One minute it’s “we’ll see,” the next it’s leaning forward, pointing things out, getting pulled in the same way the kids are.

“Once they’re there, they’re on the edge of their seats,” Harding said.

Harding moves through multiple roles as part of the ensemble, shifting from scene to scene throughout the show.

“Sometimes a seahorse, sometimes a napkin, sometimes in the Genie number,” she said. “You really get to be part of everything.”

It keeps the performers on their toes and the audience guessing what’s next.

Behind it all is a steady routine. Weeks of training before the tour, then constant run-throughs once it’s underway. Every lift and landing has to hit, because there’s no reset button out there.

“Anything can happen,” Harding said. “You rely on your training and your mindset.”

That edge is part of what makes it work. The show never sits still long enough to feel predictable.

Somewhere between the flips, the music, and the crowd reacting all at once, it clicks. You’re not thinking about how it’s done. You’re just watching it unfold.

Harding kept her pitch simple.

“Come on… it’s Mickey Mouse.”

Luli Fama Launches Paradise Found Cruise ’27 Swimwear Collection in Miami

Published

on

Luli Fama celebrates its Paradise Found Cruise ’27 swimwear and resortwear collection with a luxury Miami launch at its Dadeland Mall boutique.


 August 20, 2026

Miami swimwear favorite Luli Fama is stepping into Cruise ’27 with Paradise Found, a new swimwear and resortwear collection inspired by tropical escapes, exotic prints and effortless vacation glamour.

South Florida Insider has already taken a closer look at the Luli Fama Paradise Found collection, and it feels made for Miami.

The new Cruise ’27 collection combines the bold, body-confident swimwear Luli Fama is known for with elevated resort pieces designed to move effortlessly from the beach and pool to cocktails and dinner.

On Thursday, August 20, Luli Fama will celebrate Paradise Found with an exclusive evening at its newest Dadeland Mall boutique in Miami, complete with fashion, light bites, personalized surprises, and a luxe espresso martini bar.

Inside Luli Fama’s Paradise Found Cruise ’27 Collection

Paradise Found is inspired by the feeling of discovering a hidden tropical retreat.

Think lush landscapes, warm golden hour light, exotic patterns, and silhouettes made for somewhere beautiful.

The collection features Luli Fama signatures, including flattering ruched details, seamless construction, adjustable fits, and statement swimwear, alongside an expanded selection of resortwear.

We especially love the pieces that blur the line between swim and ready-to-wear.

Flowing dresses, sleek coverups, and body-skimming silhouettes make it easy to transition from a sun-drenched afternoon to an evening out without losing that relaxed resort feeling.

It is sensual, polished, and unmistakably Miami.

Luli Fama Brings Luxury Resort Style to Miami

There is a reason Paradise Found feels so natural in South Florida.

In Miami, resortwear is not reserved for vacation.

A swimsuit can become part of an outfit. A coverup can take you to lunch. A flowing resort dress can carry you from an afternoon by the water straight into cocktails and dinner.

Luli Fama has always understood that lifestyle.

Paradise Found takes it a step further, creating a Cruise ’27 wardrobe that feels as appropriate for a tropical getaway as it does for a weekend in Miami.

The campaign captures that mood beautifully, pairing the collection with palms, lush greenery, tropical architecture and the kind of sun soaked setting that makes you want to extend your vacation indefinitely.

Paradise Found Comes to Luli Fama at Dadeland Mall

Luli Fama will bring the world of Paradise Found to life on Thursday, August 20 from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM at its newest boutique at Dadeland Mall in Miami.

The intimate celebration will bring together invited guests, influencers, celebrities and media for an early look at Cruise ’27.

Luli Fama is also dressing invited guests in pieces from the brand, allowing the new collection to be experienced the way it was designed to be worn: in motion, styled and out for the evening.

Luli After Hours Espresso Martini Bar

Fashion is only part of the experience.

For the Paradise Found celebration, Luli Fama is introducing Luli After Hours, an Espresso Martini Bar inspired by the glamour of the collection.

Guests will be able to sip three specialty espresso martinis created for the evening.

The Luli Babe puts a polished spin on the classic espresso martini, while Golden Hour pairs salted caramel with edible gold shimmer. Miami After Dark takes a richer approach with chocolate hazelnut and a cocoa dust finish.

Along with cocktails, guests can expect light bites, curated details and a special personalized surprise.

The result feels less like a traditional retail event and more like checking into a private resort for the evening.

A Miami Swimwear Brand Celebrates at Home

For a brand with such a strong connection to South Florida, launching Paradise Found in Miami feels especially fitting.

Luli Fama has built its identity around colorful, confident swimwear and resort fashion with a distinctly tropical point of view.

Paradise Found carries that identity into Cruise ’27 while giving it a more elevated, escapist mood.

And with Luli Fama’s newest boutique now at Dadeland Mall, Miami shoppers have another destination to experience the brand in person.

After getting our own closer look at Luli Fama’s Paradise Found Cruise ’27 collection, we can safely say the name fits.

Paradise has officially been found, and this time, it is in Miami.
