MK-area Lounges

[Cloudless Nights]

Hi all! I'm heading to the World on Friday for a conference, but I was planning on being at MK all day on Sunday. I want to leave MK for a while to watch the AFC Championship game at 6:30, preferably at one of the monorail hotels or Territory Lounge at WL so I could return to MK quickly afterward. The only one I've really been to is Tambu at the Poly, and I know now it is more of a waiting area for 'Ohana than an actual lounge. That leaves WL, CR, and GF. Any one have any thoughts on the lounges at these hotels?

We really like the lounge at The Wave at the CR.

The Wave at the Contemporary. They have about 4 televisions at the bar.

Mizners at GF is good, but small and I think they only have one TV. It'll probably be on football but it's not the greatest place to watch I'd guess.

Tambu actually has a large TV and would be better for watching than Mizners would. But I'd think the Wave is where you should go. You can even walk there and back.

If you ride over to WL, there is the Territory Lounge which has two TVs.

Thanks for the ideas! I totally forgot about the Wave.

We will be staying at the Boardwalk and want to watch the game. ESPN has no availability so wondering where else is a good place to watch the game with other people?

Noplace at the Boardwalk has televisions other than ESPN and Big River. In the Epcot resort area, the only lounges I can recall that have televisions are Bluezoo at the Dolphin and Crews Cup Lounge at the Yacht Club. Of those, for ease of viewing I'd go with Crew's Cup if you get there early. I can't remember if Marthas Vineyard at the Beach Club had a television or not.

There is a large television in the Solarium at the Beach Club (this is not a bar and cant guarantee there will be other people. It's just a sitting area) but I have never seen it tuned to anything but the Disney channel.

I really, really loved Territory Lounge when I was there.

I would go to DTD and watch at Splitsville.
