Enlarged beds being brought into Disney World for NBA players

While the United States continues to see a surge in coronavirus and in the state of Florida, the Republic of Disney continues to be moving forward with a plan to host the National Basketball Association and its players as they attempt to conclude the 2019-20 season beginning on July 30 with a night-game featuring the Los Angeles Lakers and the Los Angeles Clippers. And as part of the preparations at Walt Disney World, workers were spotted bringing in supersized beds measured to the needs of NBA players who will be on the campus.

The fine folks at MickeyBlog have photos of workers bringing in massive, custom-made beds to the Disney World Grand Floridian for NBA players to sleep in. Many hotels along the NBA circuit pride themselves on having these special accommodations for players. The Grand Floridian is where most teams are playing, whereas the Lakers are at the Gran Destino and the other teams invited to Disney but currently out of the playoff picture will be staying at the Yacht Club.

The state of Florida, where Disney World is located, totaled over 9,000 new cases of COVID-19 on Thursday.
