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.
