East Tour Heads Back to Disney for Salute to Baseball - Orlando, FL

Submitted by BYEditor on July 06, 2009

The Disney Salute to Baseball Festival at DWWS in Orlando, Fla., was a tournament the crew had looked forward to for a few weeks now. We were eager to get back to Orlando and Disney's Wide World of Sports Complex. This tournament stands apart from many of the others because there are many international teams that come to play.

The Disney XD booth always had a long line of little leaguers ready to collect Disney eye black stickers as well as learn about Zeke and Luther. Many of the kids had already seen the show and were talking about their favorite episodes with crew member Alex.

The crew conducted a Topps Attax tournament halfway through the morning. The prize was a huge pile of Topps cards. A child from Enrique Cruz won the tournament, and the whole team gathered around him to look at his new baseball cards!

The Backyard Baseball booth was also crowded with kids eager to try out the game on the Wii and PlayStations. Both the parents and kids were excited about the games, and the crew members were asked several times where to purchase the games and how much they were.

After the tournament was over we got to experience the Disney theme parks. We went to Epcot and the Magic Kingdom. Our two favorite rides were Soarin' and Mission to Mars. After we went to Epcot we took the monorail to Magic Kingdom and watched the parade and fireworks. We had a great time.
