The Park
We (my wife, 3 kids and I) went to Disney World in August 2001, and worked an Orlando Rays game into our itinerary on the 22nd. The stadium is at the Disney Wide World of Sports complex. The ballpark�s mission-style architecture reminds one of Florida�s past. Before the game, we ate dinner at the All-Star Caf� right outside. With so many screens showing sports, my son was in heaven. For you Mets fans, Gary Carter�s uniform, albeit one from his Expos days, is on display inside.
The ballpark was empty. A local told me that that's not unusual. People come to Orlando for reasons other than baseball, after all.
There is a play area for kids down the left field line. In true big corporation fashion, you must complete a consent form before the kids can enter. There is lawn seating in left, down the line in foul territory and in the outfield in fair territory.
That night, we saw a beautiful sunset. |
