Where to Watch CFL Division Final Nov 17?!

[livingthedream]

I've almost got my Dad convinced to join me down in Disneyworld in the middle of November. The only challenge is I have to find a place where we are guaranteed to be able to watch the CFL's Division final on November 17. I have been to the ESPN Sports Bar and watched the Patriots play on the big screen in the restaurant, and I know they often play a different game in the bar, and I know they have many, many other TVs in there. However, I need to be able to guarantee that we can see the CFL game on Sunday, Nov 17, and my suspicion is that the channels will be tuned to all NFL games, not CFL.

We don't have to go to ESPN. Is there anywhere else on Disney property where I know we would be guaranteed to see the game? Remember, the viewing time will likely be competing with an NFL game, so I don't think recommending any of the smaller lounges will be the answer.

I'm so desperate that I'd be willing to rent a deluxe room for the afternoon if I knew they had satellite where we could sit, relax and watch the game before returning to our touring of the parks. But I don't think they do. They just have the regular TV channels like at the Values, right?

I'm counting on you guys to come up with some REALLY creative solutions here because I'm stumped!!!

TIA

All the WDW resorts have the same cable channels.

My only thought is that you could live-stream it on your laptop using the resort wifi?? No idea if one of the Canadian sites will have that available, though.

ESPN club will put a TV by your table on a specific event. My son and I are huge sports fans and goto ESPN club 2-4 times every trip. I always discuss what we want to watch with the host/hostess before we are seated and it has never been a problem. If its something they think no one else wants to watch they will seat you accordingly. My only concern would be if they have a TSN feed there. I know the Grey Cup is broadcasted on one of the ESPN channels, I'm not sure about the playoff games. Check the ESPN websites to see if they broadcast that game, if they do you will have no problem. If they don't you will have to call or email to see if they can pickup the TSN feed. There is no where else on WDW property that I'm awhere of that would have the right channel for that game, so if ESPN doesn't work you will have to go off property.

I know my SIL has streamed Rider Games on her phone so you must be able to do it on you computer! Can't blame him for not wanting to miss it and with any luck we'll have a game here in Regina...Go Riders! Kicking butt so far at 4 and 0! No I don't bleed Green!
