The NBA at Disney World announcement had basketball fans excited at the prospect of players enjoying a luxurious stay at the Disney World in Orlando, Florida. However, the initial impression, as shared by Denver Nuggets star Troy Daniels, suggests the reality may be far from expected. Troy Daniels shared a photo of the NBA bubble food on night one of his stay at Disney World and fans were far from impressed with what they saw.
Troy Daniels shares a glimpse of NBA bubble food
For most NBA fans, the NBA bubble food was more like the meal offered by an airline during a flight, not anywhere close to what was expected to be delivered at the Yacht Club hotel in the Disney World complex. The menu on night one reportedly featured the following: Fresh Garden Greens, Arugula, Watermelon, Pickled Red Onions, Goat Cheese with Raspberry Vinaigrette, Tomato and Mozzarella Caprese Salad, Italian Grilled Chicken with Natural Jus, Whitefish with Tomato and Dill Topping, Parmesan Polenta with Sundried Tomatoes, Pasta with Impossible Bolognese Sauce and Roasted Summer Vegetables.

Fans troll NBA's 'airline food' on social media
While the menu appeared extensive, the presentation of the food served left fans wanting for more from one of the most popular destination resorts in the world. Fyre Fest, middle school lunch, airline food, were some of the most commonly thrown jibes at the food offered to players inside the NBA bubble. Here's how fans reacted to Troy Daniels posting a photo of the NBA bubble food:

According to Marc Stein of The New York Times, the NBA bubble food is due to change once the 48-hour quarantine period for the players is over. Stein also said the three hotels - Gran Destino Tower, Grand Floridian and Yacht Club - where the teams will be staying will offer a "real hotel experience" - as previously hyped by the media - only after the quarantine period is over.
Food in the NBA bubble changes after quarantines are completed. Player meals won't look like airline trays after the first 48 hours ...

It's supposed to become more of a real hotel experience -- in the three team hotels -- once you guys are no longer stuck quarantined in your rooms https://t.co/IO4E2j5kv5
