Hard not to hate football (sometimes!)

My DH is a huge 49ers fan and we will be in DW for 2 Sundays. He's insists on watching the Dec 14th game at the ESPN Club on the Boardwalk. This is also our LAST day in DW so I'm a little mad! I decided to change our reservations from CBR to YC so I will have easy access to 2 parks and the Boardwalk. I will be alone for 4 hours with 3 kids (DD7, DS5, DS2). Since I will be alone with 3 kids who are 7 and under can anyone suggest easy and fun things to do? Swimming will most likely be out because we are going to DW in early December and the weather will be cool around game time (4:25pm game start). I don't want to just stay in the room because this is our last evening in DW.
We will be right near Epcot and short walking distance to HS. Am I crazy to consider going to one of those parks by myself with 3 young kids? I am buying Park Hopper tickets so we can go to MK in the am as a family then hit another park in the afternoon. Which one would be best to go to? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Will your younger two be in a stroller? If yes, I would think the parks are doable on a Sunday evening in early December.

Your out may be his inability to even get in to ESPN. People start lining up hours before for 1 pm. Games. No ADRs so it's first come first served and once they are in they don't leave.

7,5 and 2, by yourself! That's tough. Maybe studios and catch some shows. Plus a slow boat ride. Tough way to end your last day.

I will definitely have my double stroller!

I would definitely go out and have fun with your kids!

OK, being a man and a Disney fan, I do not want to start any marital fighting with you and your husband, but come on! Football on your last day in Disney!? Football on any day in Disney!? I love football too but DVR the thing and watch it when you get home.

Back to your original question, certainly being right there I would plan to take the kids over to Epcot. The Kidcot activities can keep them entertained and if you plan it out on your trip knowing the abandoning time is coming, you can try to make sure they have some countries they have not visited yet and that they just do with you.

There was a reason the miners went to dig gold without their wives, but I'm not sure your husband can use that excuse to catch a football game.

Good luck!
