spring training -- transportation from parks

[NSmuppetmom]

Hi everyone.

I am hoping to surprise my 2 DS by taking them to a Braves spring training game while at WDW in March.
My two questions are:

1) Are there buses from any of the parks to ESPN WWoS?

2) Which park would be best to visit that day? (The game is at approx. 1 p.m. so we'll be visiting a park before and after the game. We opted not to get park hoppers, as we have never made use of them and we have 10 days planned on this trip.)

Thanks in advance

No buses from parks to WWoS, just from Pop Century and Caribbean Beach.

Personally I wouldn't plan on a park before the game. We did that and it was a lot of rushing... Got to the park at 9, left at 11:30, and the game was starting by the time we made it to WWoS. I think a better plan is just to go to a park that is open later after the game - either Epcot, MK if they're open until at least 9, or the evening EMH park. With the pace of a Disney vacation everyone will likely appreciate one morning with a slower start.

Alternatively, if you do want to go to a park that morning it would be worth springing for a cab - $20ish in cab fare would take the 1.5-2hr travel time getting to the game down to 20-30min.

Dont go to a park in the morning of a game!!! go afterwards!!!
not much too see but if you go around the back of the ballpark sometimes there are minor league practices going on or games if you hit it lucky kind of follow the crowds out in the back you might get to see a player or two

If you dont get actual seats you want to be there early to get good spots in the grassy areas!! Out field is a good spot to try for balls hit as are the areas down the left field line!!

The current Disney ESPN WWoS bus routes are:

The All-Star Resort(Sports,Music,Movies) to ESPN WWoS

Pop Century/Caribbean Beach Resort to ESPN WWoS

We hope to do this too when the Bravos play the Nats!

We went to a couple of spring training games a few years back and loved it! It was a great way to change up our usual WDW trip a little bit.
