AK- advice on leaving to watch a bit of an NFL game.

[crazymomof4]

DSs and DH are not huge fans of AK and it just so happens that the 1st regular season Eagles game is being played at 1pm the day we are in AK.

They would like to leave the park and catch a bit of the game but then come back to meet DD and I for dinner at Yak and Yeti (ADR 4:45)

Eagles are playing Jacksonville, so I'm thinking it may be televised on some local Orlando stations. (??)

My first thought was to direct them to go to ESPN club at BWI. But if it's locally televised, wondering if it may also be shown poolside (Hurricane Hanna's?) at our resort (BC)?

Anyway, I would like some advice as to:
#1. Is there, by chance, anywhere inside of AK that might televise it?
#2. If ESPN Club or BC poolside or BC room tv are the best bets for viewing, how much time should they plan for transportation to and from?

TIA for suggestions/info

1. Maybe (MAYBE) at the bar of Rainforest Cafe, just outside the DAK gates.
Maybe (MAYBE) at a bar at the Animal Kingdom Lodge, just a 5-15 minute bus ride from DAK.

2. Allow 40-65 minutes, each way, just in case.

I know when my parents want to watch a game when they are in Disney they always head to the ESPN Zone that is in Downtown Disney. They are patriots fans and have never had a problem finding a game there.

Jacksonville games are usually televised in Orlando unless blacked out.

The bar at AK Rainforest is a pretty good bet in my opinion...

Hurricane Hannah's doesn't really have a sit at the bar type of setup. ESPN is right across the way and a better bet.

Victoria Falls Lounge at AKL has a few TV screens and they were set to football games when we were there.

Thank you so much! All good info. I hadn't thought about RFC or AKL. I suppose they could find out about blackout in local coverage while we are down there. I will run all this by my guys! Thanks again!
