Recommendations to watch World Series other than ESPN - The DIS Discussion Forums

njdisneyfamily · 10-30-2009, 08:36 AM

We will be arriving on Nov 4 and, being rabid Yankee fans, will need to find a decent place to watch potential World Series games 6 & 7. I don't care to fight mad crowds to get into the ESPN Club and they don't take reservations, so what other choices would be good? We are staying at Poly, so a lounge on the monorail would be awesome. Does Disney ever set up special viewing areas/screens when something big like the Series or Olympics is on?

Thanks!

There is a big screen tv at the Poly at the Tamu Tamu lounge right next to Ohana. You could probably watch it there. I'm the TV will be tuned to the World Series if not you could always ask.

Sorry, but the series will be over by then. Yankees in 5!

MickeyNicki · 10-30-2009, 09:49 AM

The bar at the YC or the Poly

Don't worry about game 6 or 7; it will be over by then. We just let the Yankees win last night, so the Phillies can win at home again this year!!!!!

YOu're right, except for one small typo - it's PHILLIES in 5!

40 square miles of Disney and you want to watch men play with balls.

We leave for WDW 11/2, returning 11/7, also staying at the Poly and my Dh is a HUGE Phillies fan - being seeing you at the lounge!!!

Excellent!

Is it OK for a 14 and 17 year old to sit in the lounge? I'm guessing yes as long as they are not sitting directly at a bar (at least that's the law in NJ).

Didn't intend to start the banter about Yanks vs. Phillies!

Victoria Falls lounge at AKL.

But really Yankes and Phillies? Boring!!!
At least take time out and watch football if your going to watch sports.

They still play baseball in America??

Hmmm. It could be gettin' ugly in the Poly lounge this week . . .

Can't vouch for the rest of the country, but they play it really well in Philadelphia!

If I'm gonna miss the Phillies victory parade this year, at least I'll be in Disney with lots of other Phillies fans thanks to Jersey week.

I'm sure I don't have to ask, but make sure you're wearing your red Phillies fans!!!

DCbride · 10-30-2009, 08:53 PM

Another Phillies fan here

Last year we went for Jersey Week and there was a sea of red- hoping this year will be the same

Since we leave Wednesday, I am so hoping it will be over in 5. I love the Phillies but it would be tough for me to watch from the Poly with the Magic Kingdom calling...save a spot for DH in front of the TV because he will definitely be there watching.

My hubby and I are huge Phillies fans and we're going to WDW in May. We're planning a date night for 1 night and not sure if the Phillies will be playing yet or not because we don't know what night we'll be going out. If a game is on we'll be at ESPN if no game we'll be having drinks around the world in EPCOT.
