The celebration doesn’t end when your competition is over at ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex. In fact, it’s only the beginning. Located in the heart of Walt Disney World Resort, visiting the ESPN Complex is nothing short of a magical experience.
Whether you prefer to be captivated by your favorite attraction at Disney’s world-famous theme parks or you’d rather shop ‘til you drop at Disney Springs, the best part of visiting the most magical place on Earth is reliving the memories you made for years to come.
We have put together a short list of can’t-miss photo spots while you’re in town for AAU competition:
(1) ESPN Wide World of Sports Globe. A visit to ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex is not complete without a team picture in front of the iconic globe. Gather your team after a huge victory and pose with your championship trophy in front of this winning backdrop.
(2) On the Court or Field. Make sure your biggest fans have their cameras ready to capture the moment as you take the court or field and compete on the same playing surface as some of the most recognizable professional and amateur athletes. In addition to your family and friends, Disney’s GameDay Photography service also captures your favorite memories on the field. Learn more about how to reserve a GameDay Photographer.
(3) Find a Disney Character. What better way to conclude a day of competition than with your favorite Disney characters. As an added bonus, athletes (and their guests) in town for AAU competition get special discounts on tickets to Disney Theme Parks. Book in advance to take advantage of Disney’s FastPass+ to skip the standby line for some of the more popular attractions or character meet-and-greets.
(4) In Front of The Arena. As part of the 20th anniversary celebration at ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex, Disney opened a new 300,000-square-foot venue, named The Arena at ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex, that AAU athletes will experience for the first time this summer. Commemorate the moment by snapping your photo outside the beautiful new facility.
(5) With a Disney Parks Icon. An AAU National Championship event at ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex isn’t complete without a trip to one of Disney’s four world class theme parks. Strike a pose in front of Cinderella Castle at Disney’s Magic Kingdom Park or do your best Simba impression in front of the Tree of Life at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Park.
Snap your photos and share them with us all summer long on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
