Superbowl & Probowl

[Chaoster]

Being that the two games will be in Miami a week apart, how will it affect crowds in Disney if any?

Well with the exception of the Pro Bowl how were the crowds last year when the Super Bowl was in Tampa, which is a lot closer to Orlando. So because of the distance between Orlando and Miami I would be surprised if these games had any effect on the crowds at WDW.

1- how will it affect crowds in Disney if any?

2- how were the crowds last year when the Super Bowl was in Tampa, which is a lot closer to Orlando. So because of the distance between Orlando and Miami I would be surprised if these games had any effect on the crowds at WDW.

1- Don't expect much effect.

2- Last year, the predicted higher crowds did not happen.

According to MapQuest it is almost 235 miles and almost four hours driving time between Dolphin Stadium and Magic Kingdom. It should have no effect on Park crowds.

TP posted SuperBowl Sunday as an "8."

Doesn't the owner/operator of that site come on these boards? I would love to hear his explanation for high crowds.......

Wow, LenTesta is back on the boards. Cool.

I know for the Tamba Bay Super Bowl, people were saying that it did not get as crowded as projected. (sorry, I see Robo already made that point)

With a four-five hour drive time from Miami to Orlando, that's a total of 8-10 hours just in driving for one day. Then add in park time and it's just not feasible for a day trip. And I highly doubt there will be a lot of people who aren't going to either game who are going to Miami just to go to Disney World. When the Super Bowl was in Tampa, that was a totally different story as the drive to and from Disney World was more like a daily work commute in some larger cities.
