With more bus transportation between All Star, Pop Century, and Caribbean Beach resorts and WWoS, it seems that Disney is setting them up as preferred accommodations for events. Stitch Kingdom (sorry can’t figure out how to do links in the comment box) is reporting no more bus transportation from DHS, so I speculate Disney is bent on making WWoS its own destination.

So I guess, like you, I’m interested to see how everything turns out. I’d like to see more pro (European) football, but that’s me. Youth events are good ways to keep the Disney & ESPN brands relevant for families for whom a straight-up theme-park trip or an entirely sports-related vacation might not be a big draw.

And the move is intended to help build lifelong, brand-loyal consumers out of the youth participants, of course.

So…smart strategy, a natural fit between the complex and ESPN. I think it should work, so long as WWoS’s events don’t unduly affect the rest of WDW’s operation. I’ll be watching to see how they maintain a balance.
