Kobe Bryant -- Disneyland Trip ... to Break Up Preseason Rut

Even NBA players must hate preseason basketball, so Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant decided to liven things up a bit and take the wife and kids to Disneyland.

Mamba hit up the Happiest Place on Earth on Monday night ... probably to help wipe out the memory of the Lakers huge loss on Sunday to the Golden State Warriors.

Kobe, Vanessa, and the kids went on rides all over the park ... including Peter Pan.
