U.S. Open of Waterskiing Championships at Downtown Disney
Yes, there are other things to do at Walt Disney World than go to theme parks!
On September 15-16, 2007, the 20th Annual U.S. Open of Waterskiing will be held on the lake at Downtown Disney. There is no admission fee to Downtown Disney, and I haven’t seen any mention of a ticket requirement to view the Waterskiing Championships. It looks like anyone can stop by and check out the action.
According to the U.S. Open of Waterskiing website, the seeding round will take place on Spetember 15th and the finals will be held on September 16th. Qualifying rounds will take place earlier during the week from September 13th-15th in Polk City, Florida (not far from Downtown Disney). Rumor has it the events will take place from 7:00pm-10:00pm on the 15th and 16th at Downtown Disney, but the U.S. Open of Waterskiing website hasn’t posted the times yet.
Male and female contestants will compete in slalom, tricks and jumping events in addition to the overall U.S. Champion title. There will be additional food and beverage carts and locations open for spectators and viewing will be available around the lake. Sounds like a fun evening!
