For families in Cinco Ranch I looking for a little extra motivation to get their children reading, a special partnership between Disney On Ice and Fort Bend County Libraries could make the next trip to the library even more exciting. Children ages 2 through 12 can earn a free reserved-seat ticket to an upcoming Houston Disney On Ice performance simply by reading five books.

The opportunity is part of the Disney On Ice "Reading Is Cool" program, which rewards young readers for completing five books with a ticket to see Disney On Ice presents Magic in the Stars, scheduled for November 12 through 15, 2026, at Reliant Stadium in Houston.

For parents in Cinco Ranch I, the program offers a way to encourage reading at home while giving children something special to work toward. Whether a child is just discovering picture books or already enjoys reading independently, five visits to a favorite story could lead to an afternoon or evening with Mickey Mouse, Elsa, Moana and other familiar Disney characters.

How Children Can Earn a Free Disney On Ice Ticket Through Fort Bend County Libraries

Participating in the Reading Is Cool program begins with a visit to any Fort Bend County Libraries branch.

Parents can stop by the library's Youth Services Department with their children and request an official Disney On Ice Reward Club Card. From there, children can begin reading books and collecting stamps.

The process is simple:

1. Visit a Fort Bend County Libraries location and pick up a Disney On Ice Reward Club Card.

2. Have the child read five books.

3. Ask a librarian to stamp the card for each completed book.

4. Collect all five stamps to qualify for one free children's ticket.

5. Follow the redemption instructions printed on the completed card to claim a reserved seat at the stadium box office.

Each eligible child can earn one free ticket. However, one paid adult ticket is required to redeem the complimentary child's ticket. Paid tickets will be seated next to the child's free seat.

Children younger than 2 do not need a ticket to attend Disney On Ice.

Families should review the Reward Club Card for the specific redemption dates, box office hours, locations and instructions before making plans. Complimentary tickets are subject to availability, so completing the reading requirement does not guarantee admission to a particular performance.

What Is Disney On Ice presents Magic in the Stars?

The Houston production, Disney On Ice presents Magic in the Stars, follows a theme of wishes, dreams and adventures, with Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse and friends guiding audiences through stories that span generations of Disney films.

The show features characters and moments from Cinderella, Aladdin, Toy Story, Cars, Encanto, Frozen 2 and Moana. Audiences can also look forward to appearances inspired by Raya and the Last Dragon and Wish, along with Tiana, Rapunzel and other Disney Princesses.

For younger children, seeing characters they recognize from books and movies skating across the ice can be a memorable experience. For parents and grandparents, the production also brings back stories they may have enjoyed growing up.

The library system serves communities throughout Fort Bend County and surrounding areas, including Katy, Fulshear, Richmond, Sugar Land, Missouri City, Stafford, Needville and southwest Houston.

The following locations are listed in the official Fort Bend County Libraries directory.

The system also lists two specialized locations: Pinnacle Senior Center Library, 5525 Hobby Road in Houston, and the Fort Bend County Willie Melton Law Library, 1422 Eugene Heimann Circle, Room 20714, in Richmond. These locations are not traditional children's library branches, so families should confirm program participation before visiting.

Library addresses, hours and contact information are available through the Fort Bend County Libraries official locations directory.

A Little Reading Now Could Mean a Special Family Outing in November

With the Houston performances approaching, families in Cinco Ranch I who want to participate may wish to pick up their Reward Club Cards soon and begin working toward the five-book goal.

Beyond the opportunity to earn a ticket, the program gives parents another reason to spend time reading with their children, exploring library shelves and helping young readers discover stories that interest them.

Families should confirm Reward Club Card availability, participating branches and ticket redemption requirements directly with Fort Bend County Libraries before visiting. The library's participation details and redemption process have not been independently confirmed on its official website.
