I am so glad I found this!
I am trying to figure out the best plan of action for our day.
I have not told DD that I have planned this trip and that I will be getting tix for the DC Concert.
Can anyone who has been in the past give me an idea of what to expect?
WEDWDW is one of the best for info! 
This is from earlier.
In an earlier post from today,a poster who is going to the Disney Channel Games for the first time asked about what to expect at the 2008 Disney Channel Games.SarahV17 did an OUTSTANDING job of answering the poster's questions.I thought I would also share my thoughts and experiences and hope the information will be helpful.This post is intended for EVERYONE who will be going to the Disney Channel Games for the first time this year.My post is directed to the daily tapings.First of all,I knew NOTHING about the Disney Channel Games when I attended last year,so you guys are WAY ahead of the game.IF,and I emphasize IF,you go into Champion Stadium with "realistic expectations",you will have an AWESOME experience.By "realistic expectations" I mean that you WILL NOT have a private "meet and greet" with Miley Cyrus!You may see Miley Cyrus,you may not.You may get Miley Cyrus' autograph,you may not.That will be the case with all of the Stars.There WILL NOT be constant entertainment!It will not be like attending an NFL game,college football game,Major League baseball game,etc.where there is always something to watch.There will be times where "nothing is happening".NOW that I have HOPEFULLY brought your expectations in line with what the event has to offer,let me tell you that the experience FAR EXCEEDED what I thought it would be like!Think about it,if you are a Disney Channel fan(or someone in your family is)you would be excited to attend an event where you might possibly see ONE Disney Channel Star,right?Well at this event it will be theoretically possible for you to see OVER TWO DOZEN Disney Channel Stars plus the International Disney Channel Stars! This is THE EVENT of the year for Disney Channel fans!This is the ONLY time during the year when THIS MANY Disney Channel Stars will be in the same place at the same time!THIS IS THE EVENT OF THE YEAR,NOTHING ELSE IS CLOSE! If you are like me,it will really HIT you how special this event is when you "spot" your first Disney Channel Star.You will say:"Look!There is a Disney Channel Star!There is a Disney Channel Star RIGHT THERE!".The first Star I "spotted" was Kiely Williams and it was just like:Look over there!That is Kiely Williams!That is Kiely Williams RIGHT THERE!As far as how to pass the time between the "action" ALOT of people(except for SarahV17LOL )won't stay the entire nine hours so "boredom" should not be any problem at all if you are just staying for a few hours.I only stayed for three to four hours a day last year and never got "bored" in the least.There is enough "off and on" action on the field and,most importantly,enough "Star Sightings" to keep things "lively".If you are staying all day,one way to "take a break" without leaving Wide World of Sports would be to have Lunch at the All-Star Cafe.It is just a short walk directly across from Champion Stadium.It is strictly a "no-frills" counter service restaurant with basic sandwiches,etc,but it has a sports theme and has HUGE televisions showing sporting events.There are also concession stands in Champion Stadium as well as a merchandise shop,so you can get a snack or browse through the merchandise shop for a "break".Also Mr.Sanderson said in Hal's Blog that the video screens will probably be up again this year so that will give you something to look at.It has not been confirmed and this is just my SPECULATION,but after reading Mr.Sanderson's comments in Hal's Blog,I would be VERY surprised if the "grassy area" down the Third Base line is not open again this year.This is where everybody went last year to watch the games in the outfield.So,between "Star Sightings" and watching the games,time passes really well.As far as transportation,there is a Disney bus that goes from Disney's Hollywood Studios to Wide World of Sports.If you have a car that will be MUCH faster.To my knowledge,there is no charge to park at Wide World of Sports.As far as autographs go,the LONGER your arms are,the better chance you will have!LOL Sometimes you will be behind two or three rows of people and if you can hand whatever you want autographed over or around those rows,sometimes you can get an autograph.I never saw any really "awful" behavior by people trying to get autographs,but it is REALLY "everybody for themselves"!To give you an idea of what to expect concerning autographs,I will list autographs I got and where I got them.I am doing this from memory,but it should be mostly accurate.THE "RAIL" ON THE FIRST BASE SIDE OF THE INFIELD-Kyle Massey(super nice-the guy would stand there for "days" signing autographs),Sabrina Bryan,Adrienne Bailon,Monique Coleman,Moises Arias;ON OUR SIDE OF THE RAIL JUST WALKING UP THE STADIUM STEPS!-Kiely Williams;AT ONE OF THE CHAMPION STADIUM CONCESSION STANDS!-one of the Sprouse twins;AT THE "RAIL" IN "SHORT" RIGHT FIELD DURING THE DISNEY CHANNEL GAMES CONCERT-Nick Jonas,Joe Jonas,Kevin Jonas;AND FINALLY AT "UNNAMED LOCATION"-"drum roll please!"-MILEY CYRUS!,Emily Osment,Madison Petttis(adorable,she walked around holding her mother's hand )Jason Dolley,Mitchell Musso,Corbin Bleu,Arwin and Moesby(can't remember their "real" names LOL),other Sprouse twin,Jason Earles and Andrea Guasch(Disney Channel Star from Spain-INCREDIBLY NICE! ).I hope this information helps some of you first-timers in some way!HAVE A GREAT DCG 2008!
And so is SarahV17!
The tapings are long, and boring, but fun at the same time. You have to make your own fun during the downtime, because the stars are usually off the field and the crew is just setting up. Sometimes it takes an hour, some times a half an hour. You can arrive anytime throughout the day, I don't think it will ever reach maximum capacity. The games are from 10AM to 7PM so that's a large window for you to choose from.
I have no idea about the taxi/bus thing, since I have only driven there.
All the teams or players playing at the time usually hang together around the field (usually where ever the shade is). Standing in any particular area doesn't promise much, the stars go everywhere.
And the concession stand is right in the back of the stadium. If you are sitting in a seat, it's behind you, if you're just walking in it's like right to your left. You'll see it, don't worry.
