In an exciting NBA championship game, the Los Angeles Lakers beat out the Miami Heat with a final score of 106-93. With the Lakers as the new NBA Champs, Disney World turned to a major symbol to celebrate!

Last night, just after the game wrapped up over at ESPN Wide World of Sports, Disney celebrated the win by lighting Cinderella Castle in the Lakers’ team colors — a sparkly purple and gold.
