Wide World of Sports?

Is thats what its called? The Disney sports complex. Is there anything to do there in January. I know no spring training but are there any other draws there?

I'd be interested in finding out too since we're going in January.

If you are going Marathon weekend (Jan 7-8), WWOS is where the runners register for the events and where there are exhibits by the marathon sponsors.

When we went in January (12-16, I think) there were college cheerleading championships, the 3v3 soccer thing, a youth basketball thing, an adult baseball thing, and martial arts at one of the nearby hotels that may have had some events at WWOS.

Were there any restrictions on being a spectator at any of the events? What about tickets? Could you use the Plus option for any of them or did you have to purchase separate tickets? How did you find out what event was taking place each day and at what time?

Sorry for all the questions. Thanks for any info.
