Downtown Disney

Can you believe the weekend is almost here? If you are looking for something fun to do with the entire family, you don’t want to miss this.

Action Sports Weekend is coming to Downtown Disney from Friday, July 23 to Sunday, July 25 featuring appearances and performances by some of the world’s top skate and BMX athletes. If you have a skateboarer in your family, this is one event, you will not want to miss! Why? Because Tony Hawk and friends will be putting on quite a show!

Headlining the weekend’s events will be ‘Quiksilver Presents The Tony Hawk Skate Jam,’ a skateboarding exhibition by Tony and friends on Saturday, July 24 at 6:00 p.m. These top skateboarders will hold a ‘jam’ format skateboarding and BMX exhibition on a giant vert ramp located directly in the middle of the Downtown Disney District main plaza. Some of the the featured skaters include Tony Hawk, along with Lincoln Ueda, Josh Stafford, Jesse Fritsch, Kevin Staab and Lyn-Z Adams.

Saturday morning, guests may also participate in a “Spin the Wheel” contest at the Downtown Disney Quiksilver store, where they have a chance to win a private meet-and-greet with Tony Hawk. Activities taking place throughout the weekend include BMX demos, live musical entertainment, specialty merchandise, live art demonstrations, street team performances and games. The best part is that admission to Action Sports Weekend is absolutely Free!

Have you heard of Ridemakerz? If you have not heard of this fabulous place, let me tell you all about it. Wednesday morning I had the opportunity to the grand opening at Downtown Disney. Ridemakerz is “Build-a-Bear” activity type of store, but instead of building a bear, you build your perfect “ride”. It is a little boy’s dream land!

You will start your experience by selecting the body style/color and then move on to your wheels, rims and everything else your ride will need. You can customize and trick out your ride to the max! My daughter built her own dream car and it was fun watching her pick everything from the style and color(pink of course!!) to the decals (hearts for the girly girl).

My husband and son are heading there today for a dad/son/father’s day outing and I think my hubby is more excited than my son! A gift certificate here would be perfect for Father’s day or as a birthday gift. This opening weekend, you can purchase one car and get a stock car for free.

One more thing, one of my favorite parts of the experience is the attentive employees. There is no shortage of they are beyond helpful. They made our experience amazing!

Ridemakerz is located adjacent in Downtown Disney, adjacent to Build-a- Bear. You can’t miss it! I promise that the boys and girls in your life will love it!
