Resort presidents wager on NBA finals

Walt Disney World, Disneyland Resort Presidents Celebrate NBA Finals With Friendly Wager

Disneyland Resort Newsroom
Walt Disney World President Meg Crofton and Disneyland President Ed Grier are squaring off – all in fun – as their local teams, the Orlando Magic and the Los Angeles Lakers, head for the NBA Finals.

If the Magic win, Grier will walk down Main Street, U.S.A., at Disneyland park wearing a pair of specially made Mickey Mouse ears in Magic blue and silver. If the Lakers win, Crofton will don a pair of Lakers’ purple and gold mouse ears and walk down Main Street U.S.A. at Walt Disney World Magic Kingdom.

Crofton and Grier went through their respective parks Wednesday looking for supporters. Grier shot some hoops with Donald and Pluto in front of Sleeping Beauty Castle at Disneyland, while Crofton (along with Minnie, Goofy, Chip and Dale) drummed up Orlando Magic support in front of Cinderella Castle at Walt Disney World. complete article

The park presidents even pledged to turn the lights of their respective castles to their team colors in celebration of the historic pairing.
