My husband and I will be on vacation in Disney World starting wag team finals day. Any restaurant/bar suggestions on Disney property that will show the finals live?!
I dunno - but I watched the 1996 Summer Olympic games from Disney World. I remember watching Kerri Strug on TV with a giant tennis racket behind the window at the All-Star Sports Resort.
I wouldn't be too optimistic for a major Disney/Olympic event. Doesn't Disney still own ABC/ESPN = competitor of NBC sports?
There are a few options! Your best bets are Rix Sports Bar & Grill at Coronado Springs Resort or City Works Eatery at Disney Springs. I have gone to both during specific sporting events and have gotten them to change the channel of a TV near me if needed to the event I want to watch. If you want to be 100% sure you can get a table I would make a reservation, but City Works is almost always available.
Also, AMC theaters has some sort of live Olympic programming happening... there is an AMC at Disney Springs so that is a potential option as well.
Last, if you were planning a stop at Universal (or don't mind a 20 minute trip over there) they have a restaurant called NBC Sports Grill & Brew. Obviously given the name they do a LOT of Olympic coverage, and usually have things that are streaming on Peacock available on TVs if you ask. I usually don't need a reservation here, but again given the time of year, doesn't hurt to have one to ensure you can get a table.
Have fun on your trip!!
Hey Lauren! Im going to be at Disney on Women's AA Final Day. I'm thinking about watching at AMC in Disney Springs and then heading over to Epcot to celebrate in France! If you want to meet up for champagne or crepes, I'll be the one in the Simone t-shirt. 🤩
