4) ESPN Club
Located on Disney’s BoardWalk is the ESPN Club, which is an American pub-style restaurant and bar. With almost 100 TV monitors there isn’t a bad seat in the house. The restaurant is buzzing during big sporting events like the Super Bowl that can create a fun energy. Unfortunately, the excitement can also create heavy crowds. If you are willing to come early and find a seat then this is a great place to watch the game, but if you are not a fan of big crowds, then you might want to look for other options when planning where you are going to watch the Super Bowl.
3) Splitsville
Located in Disney Springs, Splitsville can be a great place to watch the game. In the past, Splitsville has held a 21 and over Super “Bowling” Party where admission is $95 per person with open bowling, complimentary appetizers, and open bar. Some of the proceeds in the past have gone to the Orlando-based Clean The World Foundation. There hasn’t been any mention whether or not Splitsville is going to be holding the party this year for the Super Bowl. Although I think this event might be pricey, if Splitville does the event again, it is a great way to give back while having fun. If the event is not being held, the massive amount of televisions still makes this a great place to watch the game.
2) Pool Bar
Watching the game from your pool bar is also a great way to watch the game on Walt Disney World property. It is probably the most laid back way to watch the game. With only a few seats in front of the pool bar, you might have a hard time finding a seat though. The small comradery of hotel guests watching the game in front of the pool bar can create a fun atmosphere. Additionally, if you have children that aren’t interested in the game and one parent is willing to watch the children swim instead of watching the game, this can be a great way to let the children have fun while the other parent enjoys the game. Unfortunately, not all of the pool bars have televisions, and the ones that do typically only have one small screen.
1) Your Hotel Room
If you are looking for a quieter experience than say, the ESPN Club, then I suggest watching the game in your hotel room. For families with young children that want to watch the game together, watching the game in the privacy of your own room can be the best way to avoid the slightly intoxicated crowds watching the game at other locations throughout Walt Disney World. While it might sound a little introverted to watch the Super Bowl with your family in your hotel room, it can made into a fun event. Ordering some pizza or room service food, depending on your hotel’s amenities, can really make it into a fun evening with the family.
