Tampa Bay Buccaneers Training Camp at Disney World

Training camps have begun... and if you're either a Tamp Bay Bucs fan or just happen to be at Disney World in the new few weeks, head over to the Wide World of Sports!

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are back this summer for their sixth year of training camp at Disney's Wide World of Sports Complex. Sessions officially began on Friday (that's July 27 for those reading this post later) and continue through Thursday, August 16.

You can watch practice for free... Just go to the Wide World of Sports, located near the Pop Century Resort. My recommendation (as always) is to use Disney transportation. You should be able to catch a bus directly to the Wide World of Sports Complex from Disney-MGM Studios.

Here's the schedule as posted on the Bucs' web site :
