Disney Quest could have survived given a TRON makeover. Seems odd they didn't consider it. Could have been both Futuristic and Retro at the same time. The ideal arcade space. Shame.

Any dining will not be a focus of the Experience.

Yes, but that doesn't change that fact that Disney has said it will contain a restaurant.

Do you know where the auction will be held?

At the time, the outcry wasn't there. There was legit intrigue for Mission: SPACE.

Also, Horizons had also already "closed" once before.
I believe it will be online, and cast member only.

While I dislike that it will be cast only, it's a good thing I know one or two of them.

Orlando Theme Parks News is reporting the auction will run from July 4th until July 6th.

Yes, but they were in absolutely horrible condition. They're auctioning off their Transformers LE with the starting bid at $1800.
Thanks
I was referring to the entire process. Pickup has to be done by the 12th, which suggests they want the place pretty much clear by the 12th.

what about the other stuff such as the coaster simulator, ducks pinball, etc?

The Cyber Space Mountain sims will probably go to a country's air force. They are modified F-18? flight simulators that they repurposed for Cyber Space Mountain.
The Mighty Ducks Pinball Slam controllers are useless without the airbag system they rest on, without that I don't know if one of those would even stand up straight on its own, totally wouldn't be able to stand at it without modifying it and securing it to the ground.
The two VR attractions will probably get canned. The VR tech is laughable compared to today's gear that anyone can buy.
Same with Virtual PotC and the Jungle Cruise.
That just leaves the old ExtraTerrerestrialTerror tie-in ride that is on the top floor, it's a video game, so that will get canned.
They might save the Buzz Lightyear bumper cars.

Interesting as I believe there have been no concept art or anything regarding what (NBA I guess) is replacing DisneyQuest, right?
Anyway, a sad end to a park that never really received the investment it deserved after initial opening and Disney gave up on trying to make it more than another way to sell higher priced passes (and indoor experience when the weather didn't allow people to go to the water parks)
I'd still like to see them move the virtual attractions to Innoventions since that area is practically empty now.
