Raptors buckle up for a wild Disney ride that might not end till October

The Raptors may be prepared for what awaits them, but they are leery of it as well.

Having gone through almost two weeks of virtual seclusion on Florida’s Gulf Coast, much of the team’s travelling party moves inland Thursday with a new set of circumstances, new restrictions and a new lifestyle waiting for them.

The Raptors — a 36-person group, pared from the 48 on hand in Naples and Fort Myers — will be among the last eight of 22 NBA teams starting life on the NBA’s Disney campus near Orlando, all hopefully leading to a champion being crowned some time in early October.
