FA Cup Final

[marypoppins81]

Will ESPN bar likely be showing it? I booked the trip to part coincide with school holidays (part not too!) and it means I will miss the FA Cup Final. The team I have a season ticket for are in the final so I want somewhere to watch it close to WDW. I had an Epcot day planned on 17th so will ESPN Bar likely be showing the game? Should I call ahead to ask?
I am hoping they are as I can bribe the girls with food to sit through it if so!

They did show some English football in AKL so it's a definite possibility. I'm not a fan though so I couldn't tell you about specific matches

ESPN would most likely show it. The only thing is, depending on kick-off time you might find that ESPN is not open when it starts. Don't forget that 3pm here is only 10am there.

Kick off is 5pm gmt so 12pm est. I work for a US company so practically live on EST.

Perhaps I will give them a call to check.

I would guess they will be showing it at ESPN . They may well be showing it on the channels in the rooms in resorts.
We are Arsenal season ticket holders who usually go in August, and miss the start of the season, but the last few years we have been able to watch games on ESPN in our room at OKW!
At ESPN cafe in Boardwalk they pretty much have all their channels showing.

We most likely won't get tickets since each club has only been given 25,000 each, and Arsenal have 45,000 season ticket holders, so I'm quite jealous you get to watch it at ESPN, I'll be at home .
