In a few weeks, the NBA returns to finish the basketball season at Walt Disney World Resort. We knew basketball players would be staying on Disney property, but no details were provided on where they were staying. Now a Twitter user is suggesting the proposed schedule and resort locations for the NBA teams.

One Twitter source, Shams Charania, claims the NBA teams will be housed at three specific Disney resorts. The basketball teams will be staying at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort, Disney’s Yacht Club Resort, and the Gran Destino Tower at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort. Also, the teams will be separated based upon their rankings within the league.

Furthermore, there’s been talk regarding which specific basketball teams are staying at each Disney Resort.

  • Teams staying at Grand Destino will be the Lakers, Raptors, Bucks, Clippers, Celtics, Nuggets, Jazz, and Heat.
  • Teams staying at the Grand Floridian will be the Thunder, Rockets, 76ers, Pacers, Mavericks, Grizzlies, Magic, and Nets.
  • Teams staying at the Yacht Club will be the Blazers, Spurs, Suns Kings, Pelicans, Suns, and Wizards.

We will continue to follow the events when the basketball season resumes at Walt Disney World Resort. It’s great to see the NBA is capable of finishing the season at Walt Disney World Resort!

One of our favorite places to find some sweet treats in Orlando is Gideon’s Bakehouse, which is why we so excited to share this small, award-winning bakery is opening a new location in The Landing at Disney Springs!

Gideon’s Bakehouse to Open New Location at Disney Springs

Anticipating to open later this year, Gideon’s is best known for small-batch, handmade, almost half-pound cookies and cakes. Not only does their size make these cookies so special, Gideon’s brings its own spin to cookie flavors like Peanut Butter Crisp, Cookies & Cream and my absolute favorite, Pistachio Toffee Dark Chocolate.

“This opportunity is truly a dream come true and will allow us to flex all of our creative muscle in both desserts and décor. We’re passionate, inspired, and ready,” said Steve Lewis, owner and creator of Gideon’s Bakehouse.

We are pleased to share that Gideon’s Bakehouse, a small award-winning bakery in Orlando, is coming to The Landing at @disneysprings and bringing their famous small-batch cookies that weigh in at almost a HALF POUND each! Yum! Find out more on the blog (link in bio).

Gideon’s Bakehouse to Open New Location at Disney Springs

Gideon’s plans to bring an expanded menu of cookie and cake slices to Disney Springs, plus add its own line of unique iced coffees, like the Original Peanut Butter Iced Coffee. Of course, guests can expect to find their favorite cookie flavors along with new and limited editions offered during special daily releases. The ever-popular Coffee Cake Cookie (previously only available one month a year) will be on sale every morning, with a Hot Cookie Hour each evening for those looking to cure a sweet tooth after dinner.

“We’re also excited to bring more cake flavors to our new location, offering never-before-seen creations like our special line of Double Frosted Cakes.” Steve said. “There are more than a few secrets we have up our sleeves that you’ll just have to wait to see. It’s not Gideon’s if it isn’t a little dark and mysterious.” We aim to even make the wait in line entertaining by immersing everyone in a transformative environment that will share our story as guests progress toward the counter.”

Guests can also look forward to collectible art becoming a part of the product packaging at the new bakery, which will be located in The Landing across from Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar. The new Gideon’s location is being created with health-and-safety considerations in mind and its operation will model similar guidelines in use elsewhere in Disney Springs.

Development of Judy and Nick’s new home in Shanghai Disneyland today reached an exciting milestone, as the first steel column of the Zootopia-themed land was installed – marking the commencement of vertical construction at Shanghai Disneyland’s newest themed land. In longstanding Disney tradition, prior to installation, this first steel column was signed by leaders and representatives from the resort, the Administrative Commission of Shanghai International Resort, Shanghai Shendi Group, and Walt Disney Imagineering, which is responsible for the design and development of the new themed land.

“Today’s Zootopia construction milestone brings us another step closer to the beloved Zootopia story and characters coming to life in Shanghai,” said Joe Schott, President and General Manager, Shanghai Disney Resort. “We are always looking for new ways to delight and entertain our guests here in Shanghai with unique Disney storytelling and magical experiences. The steel column installed today is an integral part of our new land which is sure to offer incredible adventures to our guests for years to come. We have every confidence in our continued success and we are looking forward to creating even more excitement and bringing many more unique Disney stories to our guests.”

Since the commencement of main construction on the Zootopia-themed land in December 2019, the land has already witnessed several important milestones, including the commencement and completion of piling work earlier this year, which strengthens the foundations of the buildings that will line the streets of the Zootopia-themed land. With piling work now complete, this latest update to the Zootopia-themed land’s construction story is an exciting sign that the new land is getting closer and closer to the day when guests from near and far can experience the global premiere.

As the first-ever Zootopia-themed land at any Disney park and the eighth themed land at Shanghai Disneyland, the new land upon completion guests will fully immerse themselves in the mammalian metropolis of Zootopia with new entertainment, merchandise, food, and beverage offerings and a new major attraction that seamlessly blends Disney’s storytelling and state of the art technologies to bring this fan-favorite movie and its characters to life.
