Lake Buena Vista will be getting a little bang in its ying-yang as the most popular traveling circus in college football is comin’ to their kingdom.
The 2019 college football season officially kicks off Aug. 24 when in-state rivals Florida and Miami square off in a Week 0 matchup at Orlando’s Camping World Stadium. Ahead of that game, ESPN announced Tuesday, the College GameDay pregame show will set up camp at and televise from Walt Disney World.
This will mark the first time in the show’s history that it will originate from the Magic Kingdom.
.@CollegeGameDay will have a magical start to the college football season ✨

UM-UF isn’t the only game on the slate that day, incidentally, as Arizona will travel to Hawaii to open the 2019 campaign for those two football programs.
