Football game venue while at OKW

[jekjones1558]

Ohio state plays Michigan during our OKW stay in November. DN MUST watch the game. Any suggestions besides ESPN at BW? Never been to Sports complex. Are there TVs there or is that hard to get to from OKW? We will have rental cars.

The All Star Cafe at the WWOS complex is set up similar to the ESPN club at BW and has lots of TVs available while enjoying a meal or drink. If you will have your own transportation, it's pretty easy to get there - here is a link to directions and a map:

If you do not have your own transport, there is still transportation to/from the complex - but not directly from any resort. There is a direct bus from MGM and another at DD.

Given a choice, I'd probably go to ESPN, but get there way early for either venue as they will fill up quickly. You can probably also just watch the game on your room TV too!

The All Star Cafe at the WWOS complex is set to close sometime this month (September). When it reopens at the end of November (estimated date is 11/20), it will be a quick service place.

IF you are interested in going there, I think you should ask about it when you arrive at OKW to see if it is open and if it will still be broadcasting the various college games. Not sure if they plan to keep the TVs or not when it goes counter service.

The Ohio/Michigan game is probably on national TV and she doesn't have to go somewhere to watch the game. Just grab a 6-pack from the general store and enjoy it back at the resort. If she *must* wear her OSU colors in public then I would recommend the ESPN club in the bar. Just get there about an hour before game time to get a spot to sit/lean.

One more thing ... Go Badgers!

Another Fun place is the Turf Club Bar & Grill at SSR. They have the bar lounge area with pool table and you can order drinks and appetizers while you watch the game. Dh enjoys this and he doesnt have to fight for a seat at ESPN.

Another option, if you want to go out...

Orlando Ale House. Take Hotel Plaza Blvd & make left onto 535. Then another left (first light???) onto CR-535N/Winter Garden Vineland Rd.

Gosh... I hope his isn't a Michigan Fan! We have watched games at the Gurgling Suitcase at OKW. It is very small, but fun anyway.

One more thing...BOILER UP!

DN is a grad of Ohio State. Thanks for all of the suggestions. It will be good to have a few choices!
