Linking its weekend programming to the tournament calendar, the kickoff aims to draw families to the resort and keep themed food available through the World Cup.

Overview

  • The kickoff event runs June 11–14 with daily hours from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., making the short activation a weekend centerpiece for Downtown Disney.
  • Guests can find live DJ sets and stage entertainment plus family activities such as photo ops, games, crafts, cornhole and complimentary face painting at the Downtown Disney LIVE! Stage and lawn.
