Brook Lopez is the king of owning his passions. The Nets center loves comic books, Star Wars and Disney -- now he’s committing to a life with one of these three things. Yes, he’s going to live at Disney World.
Brook Lopez is going to live at Disney World; no, really
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
This isn’t metaphorical, the dude is ACTUALLY GOING TO LIVE AT DISNEY WORLD. He’s bought some land in Golden Oak, a real estate development on the Disney grounds.
Among the perks of living at Golden Oak, according to its website, is an annual pass to all four of Disney World’s theme parks with free shuttle service. There’s also the option to decorate the home with “hidden Mickeys” — small mouse ears emblazoned on walls, ceilings or railings. This past holiday season, Golden Oak residents partied with Anna and Elsa from “Frozen.”
Lopez doesn’t have kids, but that is no reason to preclude him from living his dreams. Hate on it all you want, but you have to admit it would be awesome to open the front door, feel like riding a roller-coaster and be there immediately. Heck, just drink all night at Epcot and a free shuttle takes you home!
It’s a Disney fan’s dream come true. To make things better, you’re ALWAYS big enough to ride the rides when you’re 7 feet tall.
