Yes you can record and replay entire games. Yes there will be clips replayed of highlights and game changing plays. But it’s never the same watching an at the time, in the moment game. A sports fan knows the difference. And especially watching a game afterwards when you know the outcome because it was heard on a radio or tv broadcast or if a friend carelessly told you the outcome.
Everyone is different and sports fans will know what I’m talking about.
If the Bengals lose there will be sadness among their true fans, but being in Disney will help heal those hurts.
ppet, enjoy your game and the thrills you and your kid share and best of luck to your team.

All of this.
As a Cincy native, and a huge Bengals fan, I’m over the moon for this moment. I was 10 when Joe Montana and John Taylor broke my heart and we finally have a chance to heal.
Last week, I left for a bike ride at halftime when “we” were down at the half. I’m also training for a full IM and training must trump all at times.
When I came back, and the game was tied going into the 4th, I knew I could watch highlights of what had happened, but it simply isn’t the same as live. I’d missed the chance to celebrate the momentum shift with my dad and brother live over the phone.
I don’t have very high hopes for the Bengals’ chances next Sunday, but I’d probably try and get into the NBC Sports Grill at Citywalk. The food isn’t necessarily awesome, but it’s an Orlando attraction location and NBC is the host network this year. It’s a way to bring in vacation and the game simultaneously.
Reruns? SERIOUSLY? The Bengals haven’t been to what is widely considered the most highly rated sporting event in the USA, for over 30 years. I’m not a Bengals fan, but I am a fan of football, and excited about the OP enthusiasm for his team, no matter where they may be. And to share that excitement with his son, AND be at Disney! I’m thinking of a word for that. Oh wait, PRICELESS comes to mind.

If the Vikings ever made it to the Super Bowl again and I had a trip planned at the same time, I would definitely either be in the room or at a bar watching the game. I would be far too nervous to enjoy the parks while the game is on.

Stop me if I'm wrong, but doesn't 2 out of 4 parks close at 9? Furthermore I know for sure the Superbowl doesn't start till 8 WDW time. That still leaves almost 12 hours at any park. Any pool bar will have that game on, and that would leave the pool and other activities in the area available to any family members not interested in the game. Being an Ohio native, we were at Disney Springs one Saturday in October when a certain college team played another team from Pennsylvania. That game was a not miss opportunity. Me and my son ended up watching that game at the outside bar at Splitsville.

Whatever, everyone's priorities are different.
Whoever is the MVP of the SB, will probably take a redeye flight from CA to FL just in time for the MVP parade at MK the next afternoon. " I'm going to Disney World !". The only MVP of the SB not invited to take part in the parade was MVP Ray Lewis of Baltimore more than 20 years ago. He had some serious legal troubles at the time. How ironic, the Super Bowl this year is played at DLR doorstep, but the MVP will fly cross country overnight to attend their parade at MK.

Since I'm from New England I automatically hate everything LA and New York. Pinstripes and Purple and Gold especially make me puke.

My assumption is that it will take place at Disneyland since this game is being played West of the Mississippi.
Hmmmmmm. You may be right, but I’ve never seen one of the MVP’s saying, “I’m going to Disneyland”!
Like some of
Go Bengals!
Like others have said, I never expected the Bengals to be in this position before the season started when I booked this trip. Shoot if I had known that I'd have put a bet down, The Bengals were 100 to 1 to make the Super Bowl. The last time they were in the Super bowl my wife and I were newly weds with no kids. Now I am taking my Grandson to Disney. I can't think of a better way to spend my time. We'll start out at a park enjoying the day as a family(going to AK), then we'll end the day as a family cheering on our team.
Go Bengals!

Although I spent most of my Life in Vermont, I was born and raised to 15 in New York State. I grew up listening to Yankee baseball on my little 9 volt AM transistor Radio. (ah, the days of Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris and the rest of the crew). In Vermont I went for mostly New England teams except until I started to follow the Mets for what seemed like a million years before they finally won the Series in 1969. I kind of lost interest after that and never really follow any sport team but did enjoy watching Jack Nicolas and then Tiger Woods whip butt. I still have a passing interest in pro golf but I can take it or leave it. When it comes to the Super Bowl, I usually just routed for whatever team my son in law and grandson didn't chose. I was hated in the years that New England won often. They also were always against Broncos, so I had a number of years when things went well. My instinct right now is to cheer on the Bengals, but they are doing the Bengals so, I have to back the Rams this year.
Doubt it even though DLR is a limo ride away. I'm going to Disneyworld is tradition
Same feeling but grew up Jersey boy, hate anything sports related New England , , however great food and people in NE when lived there awhile ago.

Enjoy the game! I’m pulling for the Bengals as I always like it when teams that have never won the Super Bowl win (gives me hope that maybe sometime in my lifetime, the Vikings will win).
