Football At WDW, Sort Of

The NFL has partnered with Walt Disney World for this season’s pre-Pro Bowl Festivities taking place at the ESPN Wide World Of Sports Complex.  And, some of the players have been announced!

There will be a total of 88 players in attendance  Some of the players scheduled to play are Aaron Rodgers (GB), Tom Brady (NE), Odell Beckham Jr.(NYG), and rookies Daks Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott (my favorite) from the Dallas Cowboys.

There will be a lot of special events taking place that will culminate in a parade on Main Street U.S.A. that will include the players, cheerleaders, and several community based groups.

The Pro Bowl game is scheduled for January 29 at Camping World Stadium in Orlando!  See Pro Bowl Ticket Information for more! For more on the activities at WDW visit The ESPN Wide World Of Sports Page.

New Nights at WDW plus Tidbits

Walt Disney World announced that the Nights Of Joy concerts will change venue for the concerts beginning in 2016.  Nights Of Joy has a history of selling out with large crowds, some too large to handle.  As a result, the Concert portion of Nights of Joy will be moved to the ESPN Wide World Of Sports ESPN WWOSComplex and be set up on indoor stages.  This will accommodate larger crowds, and allow the music to go on regardless of what the weather.

Admission to Nights Of Joy will INCLUDE access to The Magic Kingdom to allow attenders to enjoy some of their favorite attractions.  And, Disney Transport will provide dedicated transportation to and from ESPN for the event.

No dates, or artists, have been announced, as yet. I will pass that on when I have the information.
