Should the Boston Celtics season go south before a championship vacation to Disney World, it's a near certainty President of Basketball Operations Brad Stevens will do whatever it takes to put the finishing touches on what should be a championship roster.With Jaylen Brown making an All-NBA team and being eligible for a super-max contract extension, the goal would theoretically be to add a third star alongside No. 7 and Jayson Tatum.

The Boston Celtics are onto the Eastern Conference semifinals and a date with the Philadelphia 76ers - who the Cs last swept in the opening round of the 2020 bubble postseason down in Disney World.Depending on the health of Sixers superstar Joel Embiid, Boston may have a similarly seamless second-round series three years later.

If the Mavericks have any title hopes in the near future, Luka Doncic needs help as soon as possible.ESPN's Bobby Marks delivers him such with a mock trade that lands a former Boston Celtics floor general drafted by Danny Ainge in Dallas.That'd be Terry Rozier, who is currently languishing on the rebuilding Hornets and could use a one-way ticket out of Charlotte whenever the franchise can make that happen.

For families who have been wanting to visit Disney World but have been concerned about the price, there's some good news as we head into the summer.Walt Disney World is offering a new type of ticket they're calling the 4-Park Magic Ticket, and it's a really good deal that also helps you plan your itinerary.

Parking, quite literally, has a death grip on America: each year a handful of Americans are tragically killed by their fellow citizens over parking spots.But even when we don't resort to violence, we routinely do ridiculous things for parking, contorting our professional, social, and financial lives to get a spot.

Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida gained control on Friday of the board that oversees development at Walt Disney World, a move that restricts the autonomy of Disney, the state's largest private employer, over its theme-park complex and strips some perks enjoyed by the company for 56 years.The changes are the result of a bill that the Florida Legislature approved at the urging of Mr. DeSantis, who fought with Disney last year over an education law that limits the discussion of sexual orientation and gender identity in schools.

Disney's popular and controversial ride, Splash Mountain, has officially closed at Disney World.The ride has been at the park for 30 years, and given its history - the ride is based on the 1946 movie 'Song of the South' that the NAACP said perpetuated "a dangerously glorified picture of slavery" - in 2020, the company announced it would be shutting the ride down and retooling it.

When the news broke that Bayern Munich was going to sign Juventus defender Matthijs de Ligt, I was in Disney World.Yup, in the midst of one of the craziest transfer periods in years, I was mingling with The Mouse.Maybe in retrospect that should have been an omen.Upon my return home, I hit BFW and our podcast proclaiming what a bold, forward-thinking, and improbable move this was.

A few things come to mind when thinking of Disney World - the two biggest probably being Mickey Mouse and Cinderella's Castle.Given that, it's not surprising that Disney World super-fans were seeing red when rumors that Cinderella Castle would be removed from Disney World spread like wildfire across the internet.
