The only issue with the clubs and restaurants at the Boardwalk is it is a real pain to get to them using Disney transportation and getting back to your resort from the Boardwalk at 2:00 AM using Disney transportation is nearly impossible. Also the average guest does not even know that the Boardwalk exists. If Disney was to move the ESPN club to DTD there will be a huge spike in attendance.DLP Fan said:I was just about to post that but was a bit scared to because it is by he who's name we do not mention! Would be sad to see DG go but it has been quiet for quite a while now and hasnt changed in a long time either. ESPN Zone could be cool. But why does the Boardwalk ESPN have to close too? I love that place.

Isnt it part of the ticket plan with the waterparks?dxwwf3 said:Actually $37.28 for a one day adult. That's what's been keeping me away as well.

I assume what they are thinking is if they open up a new ESPN zone on the West Side attendance at the Boardwalk version would drop to unprofitable levels. If that is true it would make more financial sense to turn the existing ESPN club into something else that would draw a different crowd.DLP Fan said:I understand that but I just dont get why they need to shut down the ESPN at the Boardwalk also. Its a great place for families, teens and adults to all go and is used by people staying at the Boardwalk, Yacht and Beach Club and Swan & Dolphin. I normally go there after a night in EPCOT for some food and is kinda the only casual dinning part on the Boardwalk, with a great atmosphere. Would be sad to see it go.
