Lakers (Disneyland) v. Magic (WDW)

[OrlandoMike]

I'm not a big sports fan, but couldn't help notice it's Los Angeles vs. Orlando.

Any of you West Coast folks wanna make some friendly wagers?

 

[CAbryan]

Nice way to look at it... Since I am a Kings fan it means I dislike anything Lakers so I have to go with the Magic here. Now if you are asking me favorite parks I will say the opposite.

 

[MemoToMe]

Ummm...I'm guessing the Lakers by a touchdown.

 

[DVC~OKW~96]

Well, the Magic have beat them both times this year, so I'm going to hope that they can do it a third time. Yeah, I know. But I can hope!

 

[rpmdfw]

I'm hoping that it will be OVER SOON!

I'm tired of opening facebook and seeing nothing but silly rants about baseball teams.

Baseball season isn't nearly over.

Rob, are you trying to be funny? Baseball has MONTHS left to go. GO RAYS! The Magic is a basketball team.

Mike, I'm totally on the side of the Magic. Let's hope the Magic of WDW rubs off on them and they beat the Lakers! WOO-HOO!

Yes, I know that the Magic and Lakers are basketball.

I don't CARE, but I do know.

I've been driving co-workers crazy all week by responding with "oh, I don't follow football" every time they say something about the Magic.

Now, if we want to talk about the Tony Awards on Sunday, THAT'S a competition I can get into!

As a born NE Sports fan, my team in the Celtics and anybody that beats the Lakers... so Magic it is!

Same thing with baseball, the Red Sox are my loves and anybody that annihilates the Yankees is alright in my book!

Nebraska?!?!?!?

I thought the only sports in Nebraska were college sports.

Huskies or something.

Aren't the teams you're talking about professional teams?

I'm SO confused!

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



ANAHEIM, Calif./LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (June 3, 2009) – 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.

With both Disney parks asking guests “What Will You Celebrate?” in 2009, Grier and Crofton are getting in the act, making a celebratory wager on the outcome of 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.

“The Lakers are going to make your team very Grumpy this week,” predicted Grier to Crofton.

“But we have ‘Magic’ on our side,” countered Crofton. “And isn’t that what Disney is all about?”

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.

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

OH MY GOSH!!!! This is more exciting than the competition itself!!!

The Magic has to take it now!!! Can't have our Meg losing to those LAKERS!!!!!

 

[OrlandoMike]

We cant have our gal Meg schlepping down Main Street in Purple and Gold!

 

[jenn&nelsonrego]

I so want the Magic to win even more after watching the news this morning. Did anyone else see the story about the little 4 year old boy who hadnt spoken a word at all... his parents were desperate when the kids started talking during a televised game. The parents used their mortgage money ($641) to buy tickets to the Magic game and the kid started talking during the game!!!!!!!!!!!

The Magic has since given the whole family tickets to every home game and the parents had to ask the kid to keep quiet the other day!

GO
MAGIC!!!
​

 

[turkygurl]

I hadn't heard that story, but now I'm glad I did. I'm a Magic fan and that really makes me feel good. GO MAGIC!

I'm hoping they can win 2 in LA then come home and win 2 more so the boys can get crowned at home!

 

[OrlandoMike]

Here is our team leader Meg! Love the ears!

 

[OrlandoMike]

Ok the series has moved to Orlando, and I'm already over it!

Do we really need video of the dolphins at Sea World playing with a Magic basketball?
