Do they still have ice skating set up at DTD in December?

[lillygator]

We went to DTD a few years ago and I got to ice skate...do they still do this? Do they also have small children's sizes?

I haven't seen ice skating at DD in years. Sorry.

They no longer have this at DTD. It has been gone for several years.

I wish they still had it, my family had such fun!

 

[Got Quattro?]

yes they do

It is over in the West Side now...there is a big grassy area next to Wolf gang Pucks, that over loks the lake.

This is where they have it set up at now.

They moved it from the shops of Downtown Disney in 2000

Hum lets bump this one up....

Anyone have any details on this?

 

[lillygator]

anyone know for sure?

Also interested in this. Does anyone know hours, skate rental costs etc?
Any info. would be appreciated.

I do remember a year when it was in DTD...I think it was 1999. I'd love to know if it was there last year.

I had never heard they had this! Hoping someone else has info on this, sounds great!

Out of curiosity, how do they keep an ice rink frozen in the outdoor sun of Florida???

There's a whole electric system that keeps the ice frozen. We even have a couple here in the winter and we're about 150 miles south of Disney. I'd hate to have the power bill

Yes please let us know if they have that this year. It would be so much fun.

 

[lillygator]

I guess I'll find out once we get there!!

About three years ago it was at West Side by Bongos. Last year it was not there and not at DTD. There used to be one at Pointe Orlando on International Drive too, but that is gone now too. It is fun to skate in the warm sun outside, anyone know any other place?

Just giving this a little bump.

Count me in as someone who would like additional information!

Need to know whether to pack the skates

THanks!

I spent a good deal of time at DTD and Westside last year in December and did not see ice skating.

Thanks, that settles it! LOL

We did get to enjoy the skating rink a couple of years, though. It was fun!
