When guests hear the words “Walt
Disney World,” immediately visions of characters, theme parks and dining
emerge. I am here to tell you that soon
bowling is sure to become synonymous with Disney. You heard me – bowling!!
A wonderful new entertainment
venue debuted in December 2012 – Splitsville!
Splitsville is a modern day take on bowling and billiards spanning two
levels in Downtown Disney West Side. With
30 bowling lanes available and billiard tables scattered throughout, there is
no shortage of opportunities for fun. There
are even opportunities to enjoy live music and dancing, as well as adult
beverages.
Splitsville is more than just a
bowling alley – it is an experience. This
is not your neighborhood bowling establishment – it is “luxury lanes.” There are interesting murals and other design elements throughout. Instead of just one long line of bowling lanes,
the lanes are divided into sections within the facility thereby creating a
more intimate setting for you, your family and friends. With comfy seating and large tables, it’s
perfect for enjoying some of the fabulous food.
Tables are also available both inside and outside on a patio to enjoy
the cuisine without exerting yourself bowling.
I know some of you are laughing
right now and questioning my sanity. I get
it and readily admit that typically bowling and fabulous food are not uttered
in the same breath; however, Splitsville has managed to achieve combining the
two in stellar fashion. We’re not
talking just “getting your grub on,” we’re talking edamame, salads, seared Ahi
tuna, pulled pork, mahi mahi with voodoo shrimp, as well as sushi and more
traditional fare of pizza and burgers. You
will want to top off your noshing with a signature sundae, brownie a la mode or
giant cake – “a mountain of red velvet cake and frosting with layers so high
you might need a ladder!” I am still feeling
the skepticism and understand that just because an establishment offers more
upscale fare does not mean the end result will tempt the taste buds. I must admit that I had reservations about
the quality of food, but I assure you that Splitsville delivers – one of my
favorites, the sushi, is absolutely fantastic.
Currently Splitsville is open
10:00 a.m. to 1:00 a.m. Sunday through Wednesday, and 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m.
Thursday through Saturday. Walk-in rates
are available, as well as Priority Bowling (allows your group to receive the
next available lane(s) upon check-in for a maximum of 2 lanes with a maximum of
8 bowlers per lane).
Splitsville is now one of my Walt
Disney World “must-dos.” How about you –
are you ready to “roll in and rock out?”

We visted the place on our last trip when we arrived. It looked so cool we returned that week to have lunch and bowl. We acually skipped a half day at the park and had a blast. The pizza was great and a good price. We had some to take back to the resort. It beat trying to avoid the cheerleader at the parks.
ReplyDeleteMy suggestion is to eat after you bowl since bowling cost is by the hour.
