Brook and Robin Lopez surprised Disney cast members this week in Orlando at basketball games

Mickey Mouse is the star of the Walt Disney World theme parks.

But the Lopez brothers — Milwaukee Bucks center Brook and former Bucks center Robin — might be a close second.

It’s gotten to the point that it wouldn’t even be a surprise to see them at one of the parks, including during the NBA season.

Remember, these two flew to Orlando just to be among the first to ride the “Star Wars: Rise to the Resistance” attraction at Disney’s Hollywood Studio in December 2019 when it opened during an off day on the Bucks’ schedule. And Brook even proposed to his now-wife, Hailee in August 2022 at Disney’s Animal Kingdom theme park.

Milwaukee Bucks center Brook Lopez and his twin, former Milwaukee Bucks center Robin Lopez, surprise Walt Disney World cast members in Orlando, Florida, this week during Cast Basketball League games at Mickey’s Retreat – a recreation area just for Disney cast members and their family and friends.

But Disney employees were in for a surprise this week when the Lopez brothers showed up for Disney’s Cast Basketball League games at Mickey’s Retreat — a recreation area for Disney cast members and their family and friends.

Brook and Robin, whose second stint with the Bucks ended in February when he was traded to the Sacramento Kings (he was immediately waived and did not play for them), greeted the employees, shot some hoops with them and signed autographs before taking a group photo.

The Disney Parks’ social media team chronicled their appearance with a video Thursday.

Brook also used the appearance to promote the upcoming NBA playoffs. Disney owns ESPN and ABC, stations that are broadcasting partners of the NBA. ABC is also home of the NBA Finals.

Brook Lopez and the Bucks open their first-round playoff series against the Indiana Pacers on Sunday night at Fiserv Forum. Game 1 airs on TNT and Bally Sports Wisconsin.
