ORLANDO, Fla. – Members of the Oklahoma State football team continued to enjoy what the city of Orlando has to offer Monday, as the Cowboys visited Disney's Magic Kingdom on Christmas day.
The trip marked the Cowboys' second trip to an Orlando theme park in as many days, as they spent Sunday evening at Universal Studios.

"We bring them down here to have a good time," coach Mike Gundy said earlier in the week. "A bowl game is a reward for them for a year of hard work. We want them to enjoy Orlando. For the next couple of days, we turn them loose and let them all enjoy Orlando and the people here. After that, we'll start to bring them back in with some curfews and such once we get to the fourth day out from the game."
Oklahoma State's visit coincided with one of the Magic Kingdom's busiest days of the year. Midway through the day, it was announced that the park had reached maximum capacity for the first time in four years.

Biletnikoff Award-winning wide receiver James Washington was one of the Cowboys to soak up the second day of amusement-park activities.
"I'm not really into most Disney stuff, but it's another time to run around and do stuff," Washington said. "It's good to see the sunshine. Being 70 degrees, we can wear short sleeves. Back in Stamford, it was like 30 degrees, so I"m enjoying every second of it."
Merry Christmas!! #GoPokes #okstate #CowboyUp18 #CowboyUp19 pic.twitter.com/qZ6qyUS4Q2
