ESPN Wide World of Sports

My DH and I are going to WDW in March to go to an Atlanta Braves spring training game (they play the Yankees and we are Yankee fans!) and I was wondering if anybody knew where to get the bus. We have been to numerous games in the past and always got the bus at Hollywood Studios until last year when we were told we had to go to one of the resorts (I don't remember which one). That was very inconvenient. Anyway I was just checking WDW's website and it seems like the bus is leaving from Hollywood Studios but I wondered if maybe this information just hadn't been updated. Anybody know for sure?

Just a side note...

Tickets go on sale for Braves Spring Training games on January 8th at 10:00 am through Ticketmaster. For games against teams like the Red Sox and Yankees they'll sell out quickly so go on line as close as possible to 10am on the 8th to buy your tickets.

Thanks guys. I had seen about transportation from those resorts but on WDW's website it still said that the bus left from HS. Go figure.

I have my phone set to remind me to go on Ticketmaster for ticket sale on January 8th. Last year we decided to go down after the tickets had already been on sale and got stuck with lawn seats. I sooo want to avoid that this year and get actual seats. The lawn gets so crowded and people behind us were encroaching on the towel we were sitting on and it is also a killer on the back.
