Magic Kingdom and the Elite Eight?

[bexporter]

I'm going to assume that there is nowhere in the Magic Kingdom with a tv to watch an Elite Eight basketball game.

If one were going to try to leave the Magic Kingdom and use Disney transportation to get somewhere to watch a basketball game and then try to get back, where would one go?

Can you get to the ESPN Club at Boardwalk easily?

Would a hotel bar somewhere else be a better choice?

Would there be a hotel bar on the monorail that has tvs and would have the game on?

We are not staying on site so we won't have a hotel room to go to, and it doesn't seem like a good idea to move the car to go back to our resort off site.

Thanks!!

I can't think of any TVs in MK.
I've never been to that ESPN Club but have read it's insanely crowded during major events.
Do you have an iPad where you could stream it? That's likely your best option although wifi isn't perfect.

I don't think streaming is going to cut it for my H. I'm thinking a hotel bar at a monorail hotel is the way to go. I'm glad to know the bar in the Contemporary tv. Google also suggested that there might be one near Ohana in the Polynesian.

Yea I'd try the monorail resort bars first. Maybe you can even call and ask?

During the playoffs in January, the bar outside 'Ohana had the Broncos game on (DH was very pleased)

Check the hours for the bar. I know I went to the CR bar during the day (haters to the left lol) and it was closed.

I haven't gone to the ESPN bar, so I don't know what it's like, but you could get there very easily by taking a bus to the Boardwalk Inn and walking over there.

The bar next to the yachtsman ( yacht club resort)had tvs and was playing soccer matches when we were there in January.
