Hi there, Marie! Welcome to planDisney, where like the Wildcats, we're all in this together. I'm delighted to help a fellow
Disney Vacation Club Member and cheer enthusiast today!
Get your poms ready--the UCA and UDA College Nationals are happening this very weekend at
Walt Disney World Resort! This event draws amazingly talented athletes from around the world to the
ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex and is such a fun atmosphere.
Tickets for the event can be purchased online via the
Disney Events site specifically for the championships. Once you receive email confirmation for your tickets, it's a snap to add them to
My Disney Experience! In the My Disney Experience app, navigate to "Tickets and Passes", and then select "Link Tickets & Passes". From there, type in the ticket identification number. Once the tickets are linked, you will be able to use your MagicBand for entry to the ESPN Complex.
Before you go, let me share a couple of tips that I've picked up from my dance mom travels!
- There is no direct Disney transportation from the Walt Disney World Resort Hotels to the ESPN Complex. We usually rent a car and take advantage of the ample free parking. You can also use Lyft or Uber, but I've found that the pickup location can be a bit tricky to find.
- Teams compete in multiple different sites throughout the ESPN Complex. To make sure you don't miss your favorite cheerleaders, check out this map before you go. The event website will have a complete schedule with updates as finals approach.
Marie, I hope you have a wonderful time watching the competition this weekend. Thanks so much for bringing your question to planDisney and please visit us again if we can help with your vacation planning!
Go Team!
Susan
