ESPN Club---kid friendly??

[marshallandcartersmo]

We're planning a trip to WDW late April, a total of 9 of us (several extended family members), 3 of the 9 are boys 5yrs old and under. This whole trip is centered around the boys, and I thought one night we would eat at ESPN to make hubby happy. How kid/toddler friendly is it? I can't imagine we'd be there late, all boys are in bed by 9pm.

We ate at ESPN in September. I seen the staff being very kind to youngsters, after all this is Disney. Youngsters have their own menu of food to choose from,they will enjoy it tremendously.

Very kid friendly, especially for little sports fans. My kids have been going there pretty much yearly (one year even 3 times) for the past 4 years They are now 5 & 9. They love it. They have been given small hand held toys to paly with, and keep, plus if you sit at the booths in the bar area they have video games for them to play. Of course the tvs and sports memorabilia keep them occupied too.

It's a huge sports bar - fairly loud - TV's everywhere. The male adult patrons have their eyes glued to every sports channel option going - they never notice loud, rambunctious children. All the benefits of home without the cooking.

Our boys loved it. They were doing a live broadcast of Mouthing Off for XM radio and we had to cheer in and out of segments, my kids loved doing that.

thanks guys. My hubby will be happy!! Does anyone know if they take ADRs? Also, where is it located, and which park is it closest to? Best way to get there from that park?? thanks for your help...........

They do not take ADRs..it's a first come, first serve basis. It is located along the Boardwalk Resort and across the lake from Beach Club Resort. It's closest to Epcot with MGM being a close second. If you are in Epcot, you can go out the International Gateway near UK and France and take the boat or walk there. I haven't eaten there yet, but will be this summer. They do accept the DP, just not ADRs.
