Splitsville - Bowling with a Twist

So today the kids and I went to Splitsville Bowling Center at Downtown Disney and had a great time.  Splitsville is a high end bowling alley and Disney does it up like they do everything else.  Multi-level bowling, three bars, live entertainment, pool tables, and good food.  The only thing missing is valet parking.

We had to wait for n hour to get a lane. That's how popular this place is.  hey give you your flashy thing and you go walk around for a while which isn't that hard.  When we got our lane we were escorted there by one of the employees who bagged our bowling shoes and menus then showed us where we were to sit.  You pay for an hour block of bowling for $20 each.  Three people get an hour and they add 15 minutes for each additional person.  No, it's not cheap but it's Disney.

After you start bowling a waiter comes and takes your order.  We had burgers, nachos, and chicken sandwiches but you can also get sushi and entree plates if you want to go fancy.  Ever heard of sushi at a bowling alley? I know I haven't.  Prices are definitely high and I can't afford to do it often but it was a fun afternoon. They have full liquor if you want and the place is piped with music.  The atmosphere is festive and thoroughly enjoyable.  Hats off to Disney for making such a cool place out of an American pastime!
