Watching the Orange Bowl at WDW

[Micca]

Anybody have suggestions on where to watch the Orange Bowl on WDW property? ESPN Zone is the natural choice, but I am afraid it will be slammed, and I don't want to have to kill a WDW day waiting to get in.

Thoughts? Suggestions? Thanks!

How about All Star Cafe at Wide World of Sports.
Any resort lounge should have the game on since it is the biggest game of the day and the only one on.
Watched the Pats/Chargers game at River Roost in Port Orleans Riverside in Sept.
GO PATS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 19-0

Hey how about going to the bowl itself!!!! Ive got club level tickets Im trying to sell!!! Miami is only a 3 hour drive!!! Ok off my selling box... I love ESPN but I know what you mean about getting crowded. The All-Star is a really nice place so Ill second that vote! Enjoy the game!!!

Hey! I work on club level at the stadium! Why don't you want to go? It's going to be a fun game!

Believe me I would LOVE to go... DH and I are HUGE VTech fans. Of course this would mean we could also make a pit stop at WDW too... but Im pregnant and I'm not positive if a 18 hour car ride is going to be alot of fun... oh well on another note I did find out that the All-Star cafe has 20 screens broadcasting sporting events... so Im not crashing a post

Thanks for all the ideas. We are flying to Orlando and logistically it just doesn't make sense to try to go to Miami(it was discussed though). Yesterday DW's boss offered tix to the company suite! If only we had a known a few weeks earlier.

I am now remembering some tv's at the Tambu lounge at the Poly. That might be an option too.

Have any of you been to the All Star Cafe since the remodeling? I'd like to know how much it has changed, and if all the screens are still there.

I know it was changed from table service to counter service, but I'm not sure what else has changed.

That's too bad. Our club level is state of the art. Here are some pix.

and a suite:

I'm so looking forward to the OB, I hate working Dolphin games!

Now DW And DD say they definitely want to try for the ESPN Zone on the Boardwalk. Do they take ressies? Is it possible to get seated on a big game
day? I'm I making this out to be a bigger deal than it really is???

We have been there before, but it was just a random day when nothing huge was going on.

TIA
