Downtown Disney Helium Balloon Ride

Sure, we broke the news that D Street is coming but there’s more happening at Downtown Disney you may have missed if you didn’t catch our @DisneyParks tweets. AMC Entertainment is upgrading auditorium one to be the first Enhanced Theater Experience (ETX) in the United States. The ETX auditorium will include a larger screen and 3D technology when it debuts tomorrow. Later this month (March 25), the RIDEMAKERZ store will open on the Westside of Downtown Disney for a limited engagement. You’ll be able to build and customize a radio-controlled vehicle at the store.
