Ice Rink at Disney???

[Martindis2006]

We are going to be in Disney for 12 days and my son is a avid hockey player, so much that almost stayed home to play in a tournament rather than coming to Disney(Figure that one out from a seven year old).

Anyways, I was wondering if there was any ice rinks at Disney? If he is not in an ice rink for 12 days, he might melt.

Thanks!

No ice rink on property, but there is one in Orlando not too far away, off I-Drive near Universal.

I wish they did have an ice rink, though!

They used to have an outdoor ice rink in Downtown Disney, kind of across from the memorabilia store. It's been a few years since I've seen it there though.

I think they did that rink seasonally...

I think they did that rink seasonally...

I wonder if the end of November is seasonal? It is for us in Michigan.

I don't think they've had that rink at DTD set up for a few years now. I've asked about it in the apst, and I've been told WDW doesn't do it any more.

WWOS really does need a multi-surface ice arena. They could host some major hockey and figure skating events. Since Disney owns ABC, which broadcasts some figure skating events, I'm surprised they don't have a rink on property.

There is an ice rink in Kissimmee, not to far from the parks if you have a car. Here is the website They have a special on Tuesday nights from 5:30pm-7pm for $5 including skates.

It's great that your 7 year old has a passion.....and hockey is, IMHO, the best sport out there

Hope he doesn't melt.

I can tell you the number one reason they probably do not have the rink any more.

the liability on such a thing is astronimacly expensive. not to mention the chances somebody can get seriously injured on the thing and still sue regardless of the multiple warning signs on such a thing.

It appears the "Gaylord Palms" does something with skating and is close to the park. Does anyone know anything about this.
