Wide World of Sports?

[MKDEBS]

Hi,

Is the Wide World of Sports worth a look?
Im thinking maybe if theres a couple of hours to kill it might be an option. It will keep me out of the shops for a start!!!
I know they have got the American Footy thing on there, which my Husband will enjoy but what else is there to keep me amused?

I wouldn't count on the American Footy thing holding his interest, it was pretty lame.

Unless there is something you partivcularly wanted to see taking place, ie baseball spring training or a youth championship taking place, I wouldn't bother. They still don't seem to know what to do with the WWoS yet. I've got a couple of ideas, but you can't suggest ideas to Disney as they are scared poopless that you'll sue them in the future for using your idea

My husband & 2 DS visited the world of Sport early one Sat evening in May, leaving DD & myself in Magic Kingdom to do the rides they wouldn't go on.

When they got there the event was Pokemon card trading!!!!!!!!!
The american football thing was closed , presumably because it was after 6.

The only thing open was the cafe. They came back very dissappointed & I wsas so glad I didn,t go.


The only good thing was that the security guard let them in without swiping their hopper passes.

I've got to agree with Sue, went there a couple of years ago with my brother in law, both of us big sports fans, stayed 5 minutes and walked back out! There was nothing there, the restaurant wasn't open the only thing that was open was the shop.

I would only recommend going there for a baseball game or another big sporting event (which seem to be few and farbetween these days), which are a separate ticketed event (only about $5 for the baseball - well worthwhile, IMHO). The NFL Experience (American footy) has closed, so there really isn't a whole lot there to keep you amused, I'm afraid.

I shall be going to see the Orlando Rays play baseball at Wide World of Sports in August and can't wait

Biggy, the fishing and riding are done in another area. The riding is from Fort Wilderness, fishing is from a couple of locations. Port Orleans is one , I think, and I believe the other is Fort Wilderness
