Fans get up close and personal at NFL Pro Bowl Experience at Disney

Fans can get up close and personal with players at the NFL Pro Bowl Experience at ESPN’s Wide World of Sports at Walt Disney World Wednesday.
Fans can take part in an interactive Fan Zone, with fun activities for the family.
Visitors can test their vertical leap and run a 40-yard dash while wearing a helmet and hearing field calls.
“To be here in Orlando around the Pro Bowl itself, Disney and all it entails, I am honored to be back here and the captain on the NFC side,” Hall of famer Emmitt Smith said.
