Although every effort will be made to accommodate your selection, the scheduling office reserves the right to schedule and reassign volunteers on event date based on event needs; this also includes placing volunteers on a waiting list. If you are late for your shift on event date, your requested assignment cannot be guaranteed. For the good of the Games, we also reserve the right to move volunteers to different sports/venues based on event needs. Therefore, we recommend wearing and/or bringing attire appropriate for indoor or outdoor venues.

Schedules are subject to change.  APPRECIATION As a Sports Enthusiast for the 2009 Special Olympics Florida Fall Classic, you will receive one commemorative t-shirt for the event (sizes are not guarantied) and one snack per shift (snacks are provided at the start of your shift. If you have special dietary needs, please plan accordingly.) Do you want to receive a Theme Park ticket? Volunteer for any of the events included in the Annual Sports Enthusiasts Calendar, and you will receive a WALT DISNEY WORLD® Resort 1 Day (1 Theme Park) ticket for every sixteen (16) points earned. Theme park tickets will be distributed by mail within thirty days upon earning of every sixteen points.

The deadline has passed (10/26) for pre-ordering Spectator Tickets online. Any other spectator whose name does not appear on the pre-ordered list, will still have the opportunity to attend by purchasing spectator tickets at the Disney’s Wide World of Sports® Complex Box Office at the following prices: Daily General Admission: Please note that admission to Disney’s Wide World of Sports® Complex is free after 6:30 p.m. on Friday and after 6:00 p.m. on Saturday, so any spectators coming only for Opening or Closing Ceremonies do not need to request spectator tickets. Therefore, if you will be attending the bowling venue during the day, and are only coming to Disney for Opening/Closing Ceremonies, then it is NOT necessary for you to order/purchase spectator tickets. All spectator tickets will be available for pick-up on Friday, October 30, from 11:00 am - 6:30 pm and on Saturday, October 31, from 7:30 am - 6:00 pm at the tent located adjacent to the Disney's Wide World of Sports® Complex Box Office (prior to walking up the ramp or stairs to the main gate turnstiles).  NOTE: Lost tickets will not be replaced. Spectators will need to purchase a new ticket on their own.  Family InformationDisney's Wide World of Sports® Complex is a very large facility and guests should anticipate a fair amount of walking, in order to get to the competition and special event venues. For guests needing wheelchairs: you should plan on bringing your own (if you have one), or you may borrow one from Disney for the day. Chairs can be picked up at the main entrance (top of ramp) and you must leave a photo ID, which will be returned upon return of the chair. Families and spectators may purchase food and/or beverage at an array of kiosks throughout the Sports Complex, including a quick service restaurant near the main entrance. There is no fee for parking at the Sports Complex. Family Housing has been arranged at the Ramada Gateway Hotel, 7470 Highway 192 West, Kissimmmee, 34747. There number is 407-396-4400. Rates are $55 per night for a standard room and $77 per night for a tower room. Please ask for group code SPO/1030 to receive this rate.  Cooler PolicyGuests will not be permitted to carry coolers into Disney's Wide World of Sports® Complex except as follows:
