Accommodations

We have taken great care in selecting the accommodations for your comfort and enjoyment during this experience.

Special Requests

Special Requests must be made in advance and are not guaranteed. In some cases, connecting rooms may not be available. If you have special room requests, please contact our Team Captains at (833) 223-0198 or (407) 566-8411.

Early Arrival

The official check-in time at Hotel Commonwealth is 4:00pm. An early check-in cannot be guaranteed. During peak travel periods, if the hotels are at capacity, they may simply have no rooms available to accommodate early check-ins. The only way to assure immediate early access to your room is to book a room for the night before your arrival. If desired, your Team Captain can assist in booking the additional night. Otherwise, if you arrive before your room is available, you may leave your bags with the hotel porters and explore the city or relax in their inviting lobby area.

Transportation

We have arranged all group transportation needs during this experience, as specified in your trip itinerary.

When spending time on your own, you may choose to visit a site that requires transportation. If this is the case, convenient travel options are available.

App-based transportation and public transportation are readily available throughout your itinerary. If you prefer, taxi service is also available and may be requested through the hotel.

What to Pack

Please limit your baggage to one piece of luggage per person plus one carry-on. With frequent security changes, we recommend that you check with your air carrier as well as the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) for current restrictions.

Due to most of your time spent outdoors, casual and comfortable clothes are recommended for your experience. Layered clothes are best, including light jackets since temperatures can be cooler in the mornings and evenings. Light clothing, a hat and sunscreen should be worn during the day, especially during the summer months, in preparation for watching games in open-air ballparks. A light rain jacket may also be needed.

Each stadium has rules regarding bag sizes and allowable items. Bags and personal items may be subject to physical search or X-ray screening. Please review each stadium's policies and let your ESPN Experiences Coach know if you have any questions before entering the stadium.

Given the nature of group travel, we regret that á la carte menu choices may not always be available. Menu items are subject to change due to the availability and seasonality of foods. In order to allow you and your traveling party time to enjoy meals by yourselves, there are meals that are not included in the itinerary. These meals have been planned in locations where you have many dining options available. If you have any questions or concerns about dining at any time on your vacation, your ESPN Experiences Coaches will be happy to assist you.

On your Experience, meals are prepared based on the availability of ingredients in each destination. Please keep in mind specific meal requests may not be available at every stop. Further, please be advised that food and beverage locations are not owned or operated by ESPN Experiences or Adventures by Disney. For food and beverage offerings arranged by us, we use reasonable efforts to communicate special dietary requests to the locations and, for pre-packaged retail food and beverage, we rely on supplier/manufacturer ingredient labels. Please contact us so you can make an informed choice because food preparation processes and menus vary by location. You are responsible for deciding whether any particular offering meets your requirements. We cannot guarantee that any offering is completely free of allergens.
