Have you ever wanted to ice skate through a winter wonderland, but you live in a warmer place (like sunny Southern California) and don’t own a pair of skates? If so, I have some exciting news for you! Tinker Bell and her pixie sister, Periwinkle, will soon bring a whole new experience to the Disneyland Resort. A new ice skating rink at the Downtown Disney District will allow guests to skate right into the world of Tinker Bell to celebrate the October 23 release of Disney “Secret of the Wings”! The new ice rink will soon begin limited operation, with a grand opening to follow on October 23.
This magical ice skating rink will be located between AMC 12 Theatres and the ESPN Zone, and will invite guests of all ages to glide along to special music and lighting effects. Skates will be available for rent, and helmets and wrist guards will be provided and required for each skater’s safety.
And starting November 12, a special holiday village will surround the rink, with themed chalets where guests can purchase seasonal foods and merchandise. Come stretch your wings and your skating legs at the new “Secret of the Wings” ice skating rink this fall and during the holiday season at the Downtown Disney District! (Via DisneyParks Blog)

It'll definitely be chaos around the holidays. I am glad they're getting it going early to allow people to enjoy it before then - SPandEvLover 782.8 #122 11:16AM

To all those MWers who are afraid to go on ToT. This is what I'm afraid of. I really want to try it. We'll see what happens on my next trip.

I was so nervous the first time I went ice skating. I never went as a kid. But if you can hold your own on rollerblades, ice skating is easy peasy. It's a lot of fun. You should do it! - DisneyBride°O° 366.5 #381 7:39AM
What fun! I like to try out all the outdoor seasonal rinks around San Diego, so this will be super fun to check out. Grew up on a lake in northern Indiana where ice skating was a big part of our winter fun - MelodyMouse
