PHOTOS - A look at the 2014 FIFA World Cup activities at Epcot

Checked out the Odyssey on Saturday. Its pretty underwhelming. Very small TV's and really not too much seating.
I ended up watching the USA v Portugal match at Big River. It was a pretty good time. Although not many more people could have fit in the bar area. The bar set up is not the most efficient use of the space. Also, why does that place smell so bad? Its a restaurant shouldn't it smell good inside?

↩ replying to doctornickThat's a really good question!
For the World Cup games, during commercials they were playing music-over rather than the commercial audio.
They weren't about to let any unpaid advertising take place (well, the advertising was paid to ESPN...not Disney Parks and Resorts...).
;)

↩ replying to AndyGatorThey should've used the old bulky TV's to make it more appropriate! A 1985-86 era "It's A Sony" Trinitron would be awesome!

↩ replying to AndyGatorAre you asking why Big River smells the way it does or Odyssey? Big River has the wonderful smell of a mash tun making beer.

I thought the Odyssey was great. Big projector screen in the front and the wings of the room played the other game. Has couches, food, drinks, air conditioning, bathrooms and equally as excited fans.

↩ replying to FerretAfrosA few years ago LSU had a big football game in during my December trip and my fiancé new before hand that I was watching that game somewhere on property. Ended up watching it in the waiting area for O'Hana with some other fans.

↩ replying to R W BOn my first college program, I was off on Thanksgiving and my boyfriend at the time and I watched the Packers/Lions game there as well.
I've watched some of the World Cup, including USA/Portugal at the Odyssey and I like it. It's great for people who want to watch the games but don't want to go all the way back to their resort to do so. It seems perfect if you're at Epcot and want to take a break for a little while. Get out of the heat (or rain) and watch some soccer.

I got to go in there for lunch there one day it was a nice break from the heat. It was alright, they did not do anything special, no F&W style cuisine, just some basic things like Southwest Chicken Wrap and some bevs, including beer. Was nice to see inside there after so many years.
Odyssey has very dark color scheme, but perhaps it was the blacked out the windows. And oh if you love to wall to wall 80s carpeting, you'll simply love carpeting going up some of the walls!

Well, Argentina and Brazil are still playing, so I guess there is a lot of demand among a certainly segment of guests due to that....
