With NBA games scheduled to resume from Walt Disney World’s ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex on July 30th, players have started arriving on Disney property for their training period. We searched through social media for a few highlights from players now staying in some of Disney’s fine accommodations.
Disney fan Robin Lopez from the Milwaukee Bucks began his stay at the new Destino Tower at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort by watching Stacey’s “Must-Do’s.” We hope he watches Company Clips next.
Troy Daniels of the Denver Nuggets showed off the beautiful grounds around Destino Tower on Instagram.
Serge Ibaka of the Toronto Raptors also shared a video of his arrival at Destino Tower.
Not everyone is thrilled with the Destino Tower rooms, such as Enes Kanter of the Boston Celtics. Wait until he hears where some of the other teams are staying…

The Players Lounge at Disney’s Coronado Springs is in the new Destino Tower rooftop restaurant, Toledo.
Meyers Leonard from the Miami Heat began his NBA Bubble experience with some delicious Mickey waffles.
Luka Dončić and Boban Marjanović from the Dallas Mavericks tried to make their own Disney Channel bumper to celebrate. It’s not easy, is it?
The Memphis Grizzlies gave us a peek into their first practice on Disney property.
DeMarre Carroll from the Houston Rockets took to Instagram to rave about the food, including Disney’s signature carrot cake with an icing carrot on top. Yummy!
Worried about safety? Players, staff, and journalists have to wear a sensor that alerts them when they get within 6-feet of another person.
Here’s a look at some players arriving at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort, one of Disney’s Deluxe Resort options. For comparison, Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort is in the moderate category.
The Grand Floridian’s Player’s Lounge looks like it’s in a luxury tent on Seven Seas Lagoon.
The Portland Trail Blazers are also staying in style at Disney’s Yacht Club Resort, another Deluxe level resort. The players can also look forward to experiencing some of Walt Disney World’s classic theme park attractions during exclusive after hours events just for the NBA.
