Disney World will be the new home of the NBA, hosting the rest of the 2020 season for 22 teams.
But while NBA players won’t be allowed to roam the theme parks during their downtime when they’re being housed at Disney World, one very big Disney fan has something to say about it!
It all started when ESPN NBA insider Adrian Wojnarowski tweeted that even though the NBA was coming to Disney World, guests shouldn’t expect to mingle with their favorite NBA players once the parks reopen.
For those visiting Disney World this summer and hoping to see an active NBA player roaming the parks and getting on rides, well, the NBPA made it clear that won’t be happening for players, nor the family members joining them, sources said.

But Milwaukee Bucks player Robin Lopez had this to say:
What if we already have annual passes mine doesn’t have blackout dates
— Robin Lopez (@rolopez42) June 5, 2020
Yeah! That doesn’t seem fair! 😉
Moments later, Robin Lopez tweeted:
So how do I declare one of those lockout things? Does one shout it out Michael Scott style? https://t.co/Ho55jlkUX8

It’s clear that Robin Lopez is a huge Disney fan and has been for quite a while. One of our Great Movie Ride-loving employees even saw him at the final GMR ride-through, all dressed up in a snazzy suit!
And obvi if someone can tell this much about a Disney ride…
Also, This is clearly a Disneyland Splash Mountain log. What, am I supposed to believe Disney World just switched over randomly? I sure hope someone got fired for that. https://t.co/C2auHBQgDy

…they’re a legit fan!
We’re laughing out loud over these tweets!
The NBA, in case you weren’t aware, is indeed finishing out their season in Disney World! These teams will be playing at ESPN Wide World of Sports, and while we don’t have confirmation on where the players will be staying, we do know that they will be at three specific hotels, and that Coronado Springs is likely one of them!
We will let you know as more information is released. But until then, we hope there are more Robin Lopez tweets to laugh at! (And we DO hope to see him in the parks!)
