Everyone who visits Walt Disney World knows about the parks, the water parks, the hotels, restaurants and Disney Springs. But there is another lesser-known part of Walt Disney World called the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex, and if you visit Disney as part of a youth sporting event, Run Disney race or other sporting event, you may have a chance to check out this place too! With a variety of sports venues, both amateur and professional teams play here throughout the year: if you want to see what sporting events may be happening during your trip (or plan a trip to coincide with a special event), you can check out the schedule here.

Maybe, maybe, maybe, but for now- that’s just not who I am or something my family can do. As of right now, we only go every other year.
So why do I plan so far ahead, you ask? Read more

We’ve been through our adventurous first day, celebrated my anniversary with Cinderella, enjoyed my actual anniversary with exceptional Mexican food and some magical drinks, and fulfilled my dream of trick-or-treating through Magic Kingdom on actual Halloween.
