New NBA practice courts installed at Disney

New NBA practice courts installed at Disney Practice courts

We knew the NBA would return to wrap-up its season at Walt Disney World Resort, but we’re now seeing our first look at their NBA practice courts. The NBA released several photos on Twitter of full practice floors being set up in a large conference room.

The ESPN complex at Disney World houses three total arenas, two of which will feature broadcast basketball games. With 22 basketball teams remaining, and games being played every other day, the league needed to assemble practice courts elsewhere to make suitable room for training.

These photos provided by the NBA show individual team floors being shipped in and installed in the ballroom. The Indiana Pacers home court and the Miami Heat floor are stationed alongside one another. The dismantled Orlando Magic floor is also pictured.

The season will start soon! Basketball teams will begin traveling to Orlando beginning July 7-9 where they will undergo training camp with the new practice courts. Then the regular season resumes on July 30 and will feature eight games a day between the two courts. Each team will play eight “seeding games” to determine the final playoff picture.

The first round of the playoffs begin August 17 and the league intends to have the season finished before October 12.

Disney World Cast Members Prepare for Opening with Health and Safety Measures

Disney World Cast Members Prepare for Opening with Health and Safety Measures Disney World Cast Members

Disney World Cast Members Prepare for Opening with Health and Safety Measures

Today Disney released this behind the scenes look at how the Disney World Cast Members prepare for the reopening with new Health and Safety measures in place.

With just eight days until Disney World reopens, tens of thousands of cast members have been straightening up their nametags (and grabbing their face coverings!) as they begin to return to work. As we count down to the phased reopening of the Disney World theme parks, they are looking forward to welcoming their fellow cast members home to begin training in preparation for reopening.

And this week, that special moment finally arrived for a group of Disney World theme park cast members as they put on their nametags, reunited with their work locations and fellow cast, and began their first days of training to learn new health and safety protocols. With the return of every cast member, and at the conclusion of every training session, you can feel how passionate and ready the team is as we get one step closer to the first theme parks at Walt Disney World Resort welcoming guests home.

Many of them are returning to places that look and feel a little different, and collectively, they have been dedicating thousands of hours to health and safety training because they know that it will take all of us working together to responsibly create the magic once again.

Take a look at some of the first special moments as cast returned to their favorite parks and began prepping to welcome guests home with a smile in their eyes.

Ford is partnering with Disney to unveil all new Bronco SUVs on July 13th

Ford is partnering with Disney to unveil all new Bronco SUVs on July 13th Ford Disney Bronco

Ford Motor Company will reveal the all-new Ford Bronco 4×4 family on Monday, July 13 across Disney’s Media Networks – marking the first-ever, prime-time product reveal roadblock across Disney’s broadcast, cable, digital and streaming properties, including ABC, ESPN, National Geographic and Hulu.

“Ford Bronco is an icon that has captured people’s imaginations and inspired them to explore the most remote corners of America and the world since the 1960s,” said Jim Farley, Ford’s chief operating officer. “As a new era for Bronco begins, we’re proud to tap the strengths of epic adventurers like Jimmy Chin and Disney storytellers to help bring Bronco to life and inspire millions of people to get out into the wild.”

Ford initially planned to reveal its all-new Bronco 4×4 SUV lineup in June at the revamped, outdoor-inspired North American International Auto Show in Detroit. After the coronavirus pandemic prompted auto show organizers to cancel the show for 2020, the Ford team reconceived the reveal strategy, aiming to pull in an even broader audience for its hotly anticipated Bronco debut.

The Bronco reveal marks the first time Disney CreativeWorks, Disney’s award-winning creative agency, is deploying custom branded content, across multiple networks during prime time on ABC, ESPN and National Geographic. Each film will air on the respective networks on Monday, July 13, during the first commercial break in the 8:00 p.m. ET hour. All three films will be available to viewers on Hulu starting Tuesday, July 14.

“At Disney, we take pride in creating culture and leveraging our unrivaled portfolio of brands to authentically and creatively tell stories during meaningful moments,” said Rita Ferro, president, Disney Advertising Sales. “With Ford, we’re reimagining what a product reveal can look like by drawing upon our best-in-class sports, entertainment and streaming brands to bring the new Bronco family to life in a way that honors its heritage and gives viewers an unforgettable experience.”

Here’s how each network’s custom film will reveal the all-new Bronco family:

  • ABC
    • Bronco will be featured in a 3-minute film starring country music singer Kip Moore during “CMA Best of Fest,” the Country Music Association’s three-hour concert experience, airing Monday, July 13 (8:00–11:00 p.m. ET).
  • ESPN
    • Film featuring a different Bronco model and professional climber Brooke Raboutou will air during “SportsCenter.”
  • National Geographic
    • Academy Award-winning director and acclaimed cinematographer, photographer and professional climber Jimmy Chin will spotlight another Bronco during “National Parks: Yosemite.” Additionally, Chin will judge a hashtag challenge contest and appear in an Instagram Story featuring the Bronco on NatGeo’s Instagram account.
  • Hulu
    • On Tuesday, July 14, all three custom films will be available on demand on Hulu. The films will be available to viewers through interactive ad formats, and within a curated collection of outdoor and survival-themed content aligned with the Bronco lifestyle.
  • Ford Channels
    • In addition to the films created for ABC, ESPN and National Geographic, Ford also will share additional special content with fans on its YouTube, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter channels starting at 8:00 p.m. ET on July 13 – including additional details on the performance strengths of each new Bronco model.

Fans can reserve their Bronco model for $100 each, starting Monday, July 13 at 8:00 p.m. ET at ford.com.

Until the July 13 reveal, Ford Bronco fans can follow Bronco’s latest news and the countdown to reveal with @FordBronco on Instagram.
