Pop Warner time?

[my2boys]

Does anyone know when the Pop warner football/cheerleaders are scheduled to swarm upon Disney this year? I think it sometime in December and since I am staying at the ASSp the first week, I'd like to prepare myself if I will be inundated or not!

On a sidenote....I think it's an awesome experience for all these kids and hope they have a blast whenever it is they come!!!!

I understand that it will be the second week in Dec.

This is from the Disney Planner September - December 2002:

While college football is preparing for its bowl season and the NFL kicks off its playoffs, more than 12,000 kids, parents, coaches and fans will trek to Disney's Wide World of Sports complex for the Pop Warner Super Bowl Dec. 8-14. National champions will be crowned in five age/size tackle football and cheer squad divisions representing every region of the country. Now in its 73rd year, Pop Warner Little Scholars Inc. involves more than 300,000 team members ages 5-15 across the country. It is the only national youth football and cheerleading organization in the United States.

Here's a link to the entire press release for those interested in other September - December happenings:

We've visited WDW several times while the Pop Warner activites were taking place. There is really no impact at all in the parks. We would not even have known the Pop Warner people were there had it not been for these boards. We did not stay at any of the same resorts as the participants, however.
