Originally Posted By rtjl72 YES!!! you made me look! i am banking on espn zone to keep my dh very busy during the international meet. he is not quite the dl freak that i am, so i have promised that he may watch all the sunday football, monday night football and everything else in between that his little old heart desires at the espn zone. i did find it interesting that when we were in las vegas about a month ago there was a miminum amount that had to be spent every hour you occupied seating. also there were obvious openings, but they wanted to put us on a waiting list. (maybe not enough servers so they had areas closed?) but in lv there are plenty of other places to eat and waiting to eat in vegas is kind of a waste of your time. just move along and there will be a dozen other choices of restaurants.

I don't care much for the ESPNZone is Chicago anymore, but the one in WDW is nice to go to between the Studios and EPCOT. And I love going to the live radio shows and actually being able to ask questions and not have to hope to get through to some phone guy.

As for the food, if you were to blindfold someone with a meal from ESPN, Chilli's, TGI-Fridays or Applebee's I don't think you could tell the difference.

It helps that they have pretty decent food there as well...
