Place to watch football?

[Mom2T&G]

What are my options for catching a football game on a sunday? There is a Colts game my dh does not want to miss on our first full day at Disney. We were planning on going to MK that day, but can be flexible. I read about the ESPN Club but it sounds like you have to be there really early. We'll have 3 little ones with us so I doubt that will go over well. I told him he might just have to miss it or go back to the condo to watch, but I thought I'd check. Thanks!

My guess is the Colts-Pats game at the ESPN restaurant will be standing room only. I think you would be better off taking the Monorail to one of the monorail hotels & watching the game at one of their bars/restaurants. This way you are a short ride back to the parks after the game.

The ESPN club is extrememly popular!! We were staying at the Boardwalk a few weeks ago & every time we passed by there was a looooong line to get in! We didn't get the attraction, but alot of people seem to.

Thanks! I figured it would be busy. Actually we won't be there for the Colts/Pats game (he'd never miss that one, lol) but for the Colts/Jags game on Dec 2.

Pretty much any Colts game is going to be a big draw. He is Peyton "Mr. Commercial" Manning after all If you guys are in Epcot, he could always walk over to the Beach Club and watch from the bar next to Ariels. I watched a college game there a few weeks ago, and it was nice and comfortable as I mostly had the place to myself. ESPN can get major crowded, and tough to find a table/chair. Just another option to throw out there...

Does anyone know if you can get multiple games on different channels...like will you be able to get that game on tv or will a local game overide it??

I am asking about another Sunday when we'll be at WDW and will want to watch a Bears game and ESPN may not be an option. I am thinking maybe in the hotel bar but will they have it and how can I find out??

The local game will override it unless you have a football package or something which, of course, the resorts don't have. You'd probably get Jacksonville, Tampa or Miami.

Could be worse - you could be in Atlanta where we are stuck with the Falcons all this year.
