I feel like because we live in Orlando, we take for granted how folks outside Florida perceive Disney. I'm always impressed by how many people outside Florida come to Orlando solely to visit the theme parks. Spent a lot of time traveling this winter and every flight back to OIA was filled with families traveling just to go to one of the theme parks. My super-unofficial stat is that if someone is traveling to Orlando, there's a 70% chance it's to visit a theme park.
i feel like people who live here, go out of their way to bash Disney when in actuality it's awesome and they know it. I'm a grown ass man and I love going to Disney. I don't think people get how well Disney does stuff. They're incredible from theme parks to hotels.

In 2016 at the age of 28 I went to Disney 3 times and felt like a kid again, my kids call me the grumpy guy sometimes but noticed my happiness quickly once we entered the park, lol, same with Universal/IOA

Disney is dope as hell. It's such a well run organization for how damn huge it is. Been going there for longer than I can remember. Even though I live an hour 45 away, Disney feels like it's always been my backyard growing up. So many awesome summer vacations and spring breaks spent there.

However, I can see how maybe some take Disney for granted; I've been there so many times I sometimes forget just how much a big deal it is as a tourist destination with so many people every year traveling from so far away to experience it.

This is 100% fact. I also don't need douche bag Chad Evans to tell me that either

I'm just waiting for that Woj Bomb or a Marc Stein rumor. I'm tired of hearing from the Chad Evans and Kyler frauds.

Agreed. I think a large part of that is that people here resent that the ONLY thing people think of Orlando as is Disney. Every time i'm out of state or out of the country and say i'm from Orlando, it's met with Disney and Mickey Mouse references. And I mean, I get that, but I do wish that people would realize that there's more to Orlando than theme parks, especially in the last 10 years or so. The city has done a lot of developing and is trying to broaden itself but it's hard to break free of that "Disney" label.

My wife and I have annual passes and we've convinced a few friends to get them as well, so we go all the time. Honestly my biggest gripe is having to drive out there. We avoid Magic Kingdom for the most part because it's such a production to go and get out of there (when we do go it's with my nieces and nephews). But the other parks are great, especially when the weather is nice.

The cost is tough when it's just for a day though. Annual passes make it a bit more easy to swallow, though obviously expensive.

Probably 95% false, but either him or McCollum are going to be out of Portland soon. A lot of talking heads I've heard think the Lillard/McCollum pairing doesn't work because of their poor collective defense at the guard spots and that Portland has to eventually choose between the two.

We will see if it gains any legs before the trade deadline but I had heard the same thing regarding CJ and Lillard. I always thought Mcollum would be the one to go if one was going to be traded though. It would come as a big surprise to me if it ended up being Lillard.

From watching them play this season I knew that one of them had to go but figured they pick McCollum. Also "they are listening" so means they just want to see what the market offers. There is no way they trade Lillard unless it's a mind blowing offer.

Good to see that Blazers are ready to break up this backcourt. If we miss out on Ball or Fultz and end up acquiring one of top 3 SF prospects, you pretty much have to make all effort to get Lillard in the offseason. A package of EP, Mario and Pick is attractive.

I would love either Lillard or McCollum here. The Blazers payroll is way too high and they know they are going to need more flexibility than what they have now.

This is a trade I'd be happy to throw the kitchen sink at... Preferably holding on to AG, I'd give them the 2017 pick without protection. Lillard is worth any prospect in this draft.

Return to Orlando Magic
