The ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex has hosted a variety of different sporting events over the years.
ESPN Wide World of Sports
From NBA games to NCAA tournaments, the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex has seen it all. This year, it’s hosting another event.
Department of Defense Warrior Games announced via Twitter that they will be hosting the 2022 Department of Defense Warrior Games at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex. The 2021 event — which was also supposed to take place at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex — was canceled due to COVID-19.
Disney World shared that these games will take place August 19th-28th. The annual event “celebrates the resiliency and dedication of wounded, ill, and injured active duty and veteran U.S. military service members.” The event will include those from international allied nations as well. The athletes will compete in “adaptive sporting events such as wheelchair basketball, cycling, indoor rowing, and sitting volleyball among others during the games.”

Any idea when the tea room at the Grand Floridian is going to reopen ? Also, what happened to the Noodlegratin at the Germany quick service ? Last 2 times I was there it was not on the menu. My favorite!
Hi Karen! Disney has not yet released when or if the tea room will reopen, but we are keeping an eye on it and will update as soon as we know more. 🙂
