NBA Experience at Disney Springs

[CTXRover]

Could be interesting.

Wonder where this will go.

I am guessing this is the last nail in NBA City's coffin in CityWalk.

Have to figure DisneyQuest is the most likely option.

Shows how out of touch Burbank is. A concept that has already failed in the market once. What's next? A new Motown Cafe? Pastamore? Buy the rights to China Coast from Darden?

Wonder if they would get the Huge Statue that sits at NBA City on Citywalk.

I hope NBA City to be in Disney Springs that will be awesome! I love Orlando Magic!

This is the first announcement I Don't believe is a good fit for Disney Springs. It's too narrow in focus and Basketball's international reach is limited.

They will need to include a time machine to take people back to the 80's and 90's....when the NBA was actually popular and interesting/fun to watch.

Does seem strange with NBA City already at Universal that they want to build something similar at Disney Springs.
Doesn't seem the best replacement for DisneyQuest, so I'm hoping this will be a new build.

I don't see DisneyQuest disappearing.

It's insanely popular in Europe and in Asia.

But I see a major overhaul that closes it for at least 6 months to a year happening in the next 18 months.

I like it.

The UK DisneyWorld tickets for 2016 that are unlimited park hoppers no longer include DisneyQuest, this leads me to think DQ will be closing sometime in 2016.
But we now get free memory maker with UK tickets!

 

[HenryMystic]

I'm absolutely flummoxed by this announcement.

Maybe this will get it out of Universal. I attempted and from the look of it many others tried to walk in and walked out almost instantly. I almost never see anybody going into it or spending a lot of time there. I've been hearing rumors that it would be the next location to go after the new NBC bar and grill opens. Maybe they are getting a couple of choppers to hook up to the building and going to fly it into the new location at Disney. Good luck in the new location.

 

[NelsonRD]

People still follow the NBA?

 

[Dead2009]

It's the #3 league in the United States lol.

This is perfect for the DQ building if that is the choice. I thought there was something in the works like this. Any talk about the future of DQ or the AC gets no reaction from our experts. They have become very guarded about info in the last year or so.

The mouse gets the credit for a steal from Uni it would appear.

 

[ItsFigmentFan]

Don't care at all for the NBA, so this is one place I won't visit at the Springs.

 

[71jason]

Maybe this will get it out of Universal.

Hearing yes, tho technically vice versa (Uni cancelled lease, NBA instantly went to Disney).
