ESPN WIDE WORLD OF SPORTS

Posted in EVERYTHING DISNEY, FLORIDA ADVENTURES with tags , , on April 13, 2012 by disneychronicles

It is a 220-acre sports complex, host of more than 60 sports and thousands of events for athletes of all ages and skill levels. From the state-of-the-art broadcast center and the ESPN Innovation Lab to professionally kept fields and courts, there is no other place like this to play at the next level. This place is pretty awesome 🙂

It was our first time here (at least to see a game) It was Spring Training…Atlanta Braves Vs. New York Mets (Mets won)!

Mickey was on hand and of course Donald threw out the first pitch!

You will immediately recognize this as a Disney facility. It is very clean and believe it or not the parking is FREE! (shocking! I know)

We bought lawn seats for our first time. They are located right along the third base line. We thought it would be nice to spread out. No chairs are allowed in this area and they wouldn’t work anyway, the lawn is pretty steep. So steep that everything will kept rolling down the hill! (no worries there’s ways to work around this) we propped our drinks up against our bags.

The concessions themselves have been “Disneyfied”….in the sense you may be better off packing a lunch. They will allow you to bring in food as long as it is not in a large hard cooler. Drinks you may need to buy especially if it’s HOT! Which it was when were were there! Scorching! Don’t forget the SUNBLOCK!

Tip… DO NOT USE TICKETMASTER to pay for your tickets. There is no need. You can go directly through Wide World of Sports box office and pick your tickets up at will call along with the people who paid via ticketmaster. The only difference is that you’ll have paid about $5 per ticket less!

and after the game they did the all time favorite for the kids! Letting them run the bases! We had a lot of fun and we will do it again!
