  • Man Banned from Disney World After Flying Drone Over Magic Kingdom

    Man Banned from Disney World After Flying Drone Over Magic Kingdom

    A Florida man received a trespass warning last month after flying a drone over Magic Kingdom, according to the Orange County Sheriff’s Department.

    Disney security noticed a drone flying overhead about 100 feet from Cinderella’s castle.

    Not far away, the 40-year-old, who was not identified, but said to be an experienced drone pilot, was found by an off-duty Orange County deputy in an apartment complex near the theme park. The incident took place May 20, according to the incident report.

    Several sheriff’s deputies reported to the scene, where, along with Disney security, they confronted the pilot.

    “I asked him why he was in a parking lot of an apartment complex he did not live in and standing behind trees out of view from Reams Road. He did not have a clear answer to the question,” a deputy said in the report.

    According to the Disney World website, drones and remote-controlled toys are prohibited from entering the park. Both Disney World and Disneyland are also designated as no-fly zones for drones, or other such devices.

    The man asked to delete the footage, but was not arrested for a crime. He was, however, issued a trespass warning which comes with a indefinite ban.

  • BREAKING: NBA Approves Plan to Resume Season at Disney World with 22-Team Format According to Sources

    BREAKING: NBA Approves Plan to Resume Season at Disney World with 22-Team Format According to Sources

    The NBA board of governors voted Thursday to approve a 22-team format to restart the 2019-20 season at Disney World in Orlando, Florida, the league announced.

    The vote was 29-1, with the Portland Trail Blazers voting against the proposal according to ESPN sources.

    Under the plan, 13 Western Conference teams and nine Eastern Conference teams will play eight regular-season games, a possible play-in tournament for the eighth seed and playoffs at the Walt Disney World Resort, sources said. To see the details of how the 22 team season will work look below:

    The top 16 teams in the Eastern and Western conferences will be joined by teams currently within six games of eighth place in the two conferences — New Orleans, Portland, San Antonio, Sacramento, Phoenix and Washington, sources said.

    The play-in tournament will include the No. 8 and No. 9 teams — if the ninth seed finishes the regular season within four games of the eighth. In that case, the No. 9 seed would need to beat No. 8 seed twice to earn the playoff berth, while the No. 8 would need one win from the two potential games.

    The league is targeting a start date of July 31, where 22 of the 30 NBA teams are expected to participate in Orlando.
