NBA Experience at Disney Springs

[Lilofan]

There's a Waffle House just outside the Disney Springs Hotel Gate..

Oh thanks. That's right that WH has been there for over 25 years.

Not sure if it's part of the I-4 widening but the Crossroads shopping center adjacent to it is being removed being discussed here..

News - Crossroads Plaza Faces Demoliton

Not sure if this was brought up but, a few weeks ago there was an Article in the Orlando Sentinel in regards to the Fate of the Crossroads Shopping center that is directly across from Hotel Blvd...

I drove by a homeless man today who was wearing an NBA logo t-shirt and my first thought was "did they donate all their merch to charity already?" lol

Good bye waffle House

I believe it and the hotel behind it are safe from the demolition.

Apparently, you must have missed walking through the parking lot....

I know exactly whats replacing the NBA Experience. I'm surprised it's stayed quiet this long.


Wait for it.

I remember back in the day that the phone booth outside was very popular . When the beepers we were going off, it was the closest phone to answer a page. Bring lots of quarters.

They're adding a bunch of Roomba ports to keep the shuttered building clean over the next decade.

It's at Disney Springs; they can get rent money for it. They'll find someone to use that building ASAP!

It's not like it's in one of the theme parks where abandoning attraction/retail/dining space for years is no big deal.

How long was this actually open? Less than a year?

So. where are all the original posters when this was announced saying the NBA experience was going to be a big success ----what happened

 

[Heppenheimer]

I love that the photo shows the building appropriately empty.

Covid. Also, once opened the word quickly got out that this place was way overpriced for the experience

In regards to guests paying up, I think the Disney execs who dreamed up the Magic Bands know that guests can be fooled into spending more than they actually budgeted for on their trip with the ease of charging the expenses with the Magic Band.

Charging using the bad wasn’t that different compared to charging using the Key to the World card really. Just a different device to tap/swipe.

So uh, this is gone. Black plastic over the. Windows and signage is gone.

Yes. There was a formal announcement I believe a while back.
