Hiya, Kris! Welcome to planDisney! It sounds like you're planning to spend some time at the
ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex while visiting the Walt Disney World Resort! Whether you're just stopping in to take in the sights of the complex or attending a sports tournament, cheer or dance competition, team training, or other sports event, this complex is second to none in providing
exceptional facilities to athletes!
Entry to visit the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex requires each guest to have a valid admission ticket, and guests are allowed to leave and re-enter the facility on the same day with their valid ticket. Keep in mind the type of ticket you need for entry will depend on whether you are visiting during a special event, as some events hosted by third-party organizers require event-specific entry for spectators. You can obtain these tickets
online here by searching for your upcoming event and following the "Learn More" link to find tickets. If you already have purchased a standard
theme park ticket that includes an option for entry into the complex, such as the Water Parks and Sports Option, and visiting during a time when there is not a scheduled specialty event, you can use that ticket to gain entry.
Kris, one more thing to keep in mind as you plan your visit to the ESPN Complex is transportation. Currently, Disney does not offer transportation between its parks and resort hotels to the complex; however, if you are traveling as part of a package hosted by a third party, they often include complimentary transportation for guests. There is plenty of complimentary parking for guests who arrive by personal vehicle, and rideshare options like Uber and Lyft, including
Minnie Van Service, are also efficient methods of transportation to the facilities if you're staying at a Disney Resort hotel!
I hope this helps, Kris, and I hope you enjoy your time celebrating magic and sportsmanship on your next visit! If you have any other questions, come on back to
planDisney and let us know! Teamwork makes the dream work, and we're happy to be a part of your vacation planning team!
See you real soon,
Alison
