Q. Another year of Kids' Day. Talk about what it feels like to see these players interacting with the kids.

JOHN ARIE JR: This is one of my favorite days in Orlando at our parks, because we are bringing together a community. We are bringing together colleges that are going to be playing against each other on Thursday, but they come together for a common cause, and that is Lift Orlando. These kids may not have this opportunity. When you see these kids today and they are smiling from ear to ear. It is huge. It is huge, truly is.

Oklahoma and Florida State have great players. I was very happy to see all of them smiling and just interacting with each other. The two coaches had a great time together. They rode the roller coaster together in the front seat. It has just been a great day.

It just represents what central Florida is all about. Everybody comes here. It is the No. 1 destination in the world, and it is for that reason, because you can create memories together. It is beautiful weather.

At the end of the day, we are at Fun Spot America in Orlando. We have Oklahoma, Florida State and Lift Orlando, together. That is huuuuge!
