"I'm going to Disneyland!"
It's what many a player has said after winning a Super Bowl, but for former Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant, it was a way to celebrate his retirement.
The five-time NBA champion who spent his entire 20-year career in Los Angeles was spotted at the theme park on Sunday, much to the delight of fans who were also enjoying The Happiest Place on Earth.

Bryant hasn't announced any post-retirement plans, whether in the NBA or otherwise, but he seems to be enjoying a life that doesn't involve a complex daily routine to get his body ready for the rigors of basketball. Riding Heimlich's Chew Chew Train is probably a lot more fun than sitting in an ice bath.
