100 students from 10th Street Elementary took a field trip to L.A. Live's Nokia Plaza on Wednesday to get a peek at numbers from the Disney on Ice show about to take place at Staples Center.

DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES — Mickey and Minnie were among a host of Disney characters to greet students from 10th Street Elementary this morning on a short field trip to the Downtown side of the 110 freeway. The students watched a preview of performances from the Disney on Ice show "Worlds of Fantasy" and then got a chance to take the ice themselves.

Scenes from the Lion King, Little Mermaid and "Tinkerbell and the Lost Treasure" were presented.

It was a short trip for the Pico Union elementary students. Their school, located at Olympic and Valencia, is one of the organizations supported by the Staples Center Foundation and the students are frequent attendees for events at the L.A. Live complex.

The Disney show opens Thursday at Staples Center, with tickets starting at $17.
