WDW, Disneyland execs make NBA Finals wager

Meg Crofton, President of Walt Disney World, and Ed Grier, President of Disneyland, have announced an wager of sorts between the two resorts, based on the outcome of the 2009 NBA Finals. As the two resorts' hometown teams — the Orlando Magic and Los Angeles Lakers — are playing each other, both executives have promised to wear a set of Mickey Mouse ears made in the other team's colors in a march down Main Street U.S.A. should their home team lose. In addition, both Crofton and Grier have agreed to turn their main park's castle lights to the colors of their home teams in honor of the matchup.

In preparation for the announcement, Crofton and Grier went through their respective parks looking for team supporters, who joined them for photo opportunities — both photos appear below.

The 2009 NBA Finals kick off Thursday night and will be shown exclusively on ABC, which is owned by the Walt Disney Company.
