The food's not bad...we just had a couple of appetizers. I like the atmosphere of all the various games on in one place...yes, there's an arcade upstairs too. I think the food's a bit on the pricey side, though it wasn't always so expensive. Now I'm not sure what the prices are like elsewhere in comparison to the strip out here.

Would having an annual pass make a difference in discount or will it just be a few bucks off?

I think it's pretty much the same everywhere for prices. Think of a sports version of a Hard Rock Cafe.

As far as the annual pass... Although it's owned by Disney I don't think that would get you a discount. Unless you're talking about the one on property. I know the one on the Boardwalk in WDW accepts the Tables in Wonderland card.

If I remember correctly from when we had APs, I think you get a 10% discount.

I know the one in California is in Downtown Disney so it'd be apart of the Disney property. I'll have to do some extensive searches to see.

Glad the Boardwalk one is staying. My husband already has some plans of watching World Cup Soccer there when we're down in June!!!

My wife and i were talking about this the other night, we kinda arent surprised by this. It seems like the only "themed" restaurant like these that have really been successful are Hard Rock's. There are sports bars all over the place, so why go to an ESPN Zone?
