Hi Jennifer,
Welcome back to the Disney Parks Moms Panel and thank you for asking us another question.
My husband and I are both sports nuts and we’ve often gone to the
ESPN Club at
Disney’s BoardWalk in order to take in a game or two. I can confirm that absolutely do not need to be staying at Disney’s BoardWalk Inn or Disney’s BoardWalk Villas in order to enjoy dinner at this sports fan paradise! Please note, however, that you can’t make a dining reservation for the ESPN Club as you can for many other Walt Disney World Resort restaurants. Regular Tables are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, and that the lineup can get pretty long before major sporting events.
If you’re interested in taking in a specific game and you’d really like to have a reservation, you can reserve a space for the duration of a game from the comfort of an ESPN Club VIP Premium Club Seat. There is, however, a minimum amount that you are required to spend on food and beverages if you choose to reserve these seats. If you want to reserve a seat for you and your mom, or if you want more information, please call (407) WDW-DINE or (407) 939-3463.
Have a Magical Day,
Lynne
