ESPN crowds during NFL playoffs

Wondering if anyone has gone to ESPN to watch the playoff games. We have gone many times in September during regular season and get in line early for the 1 pm games. Honestly never thought the Eagles would make it so far. Last year we were on a plane during one of the games last January and figured no way would we have to plan to watch a game this time since they were so mediocre back in mid season.

Since the game is late, and there will be other fans already there for the early game, what time should we get in line? I’d hate to waste valuable park time, but we do enjoy being at ESPN club.

don't bother. It is absolutely packed, service is terrible, and you would need to line up probably at halftime of the prior game. Many of the people at the restaurant are parked for both games. You will enjoy yourself a lot more watching the game in your room and getting uber eats to deliver you some wings/pizza or whatever you need for game day eating.

Splitsville at Disney Springs could be a good option.

Another option is to google around for an eagles bar. I’m sure Orlando has one.

Leaning towards skipping ESPN. I would be frustrated waiting in a line that may or may not move in time to get in for game time. Will probably head back to Kidani and watch it in the room. We have a one bedroom, checking in Sunday. Maybe we’ll do a Publix run and stay in. Complicating that plan is a dinner reservation at Ohana at 8:45. I’m up for canceling, but I know my DD will not go for that!

Thanks for the suggestions!

You should be able to make it in time. Worst case scenario if the game is running late, move the reservation back.

Checkout the bar/ lounge at your resort. I know the pool bars at POR & POFQ had games on as did the inside lounges once they open.

I was thinking of trying to grab a table at Tambuu and watching the game there, though I don’t know how comfortable that would be for the entire game. Haven’t been there since they reopened so not even sure if they still have that small area with tables and chairs.

We enjoyed watching football at the bar at Big River Grille at the Boardwalk in November.The appetizers and drinks were good and the bartenders were terrific.
