With all four theme parks and the many resorts on Disney World property, ESPN Wide World of Sports is often unrecognized.

The Wide World of Sports isn’t really a stop guests make when visiting Disney World. ESPN is a place for athletes and fans of all ages, accommodating 70 different sports. The complex features a 9,500-seat stadium, a one-of-a-kind indoor arena, 2 field houses, multiple professional-level fields, and more. Having this place at Disney World just gives you an even better experience both on and off the field.
When it comes to food, Wide World of Sports has some great options. They offer sit down meals, quick services and concessions, and even team meals. They have lots of competition run out of there, so they need to make sure they got top notch eats for both athletes and fans!
