NBA Experience at Disney Springs

[Disorbust]

I don't think even free Cast admission will save this. I sure the NBA is running this as a loss leader for the Brand recognition but IMHO they should just cut their losses and give admission away as part of a package. Time during your vacation is valuable and I doubt their are many who will waste the time AND pay for it.

This place is still open!?

Is basketball still a thing?

I'm hearing that attendance is way below expectations. Guest feedback is good for those who actually attend.

Cast Members now have free admission through the end of the year.

The merchandise location is doing well however.

If they wanted to incorporate basketball, they should have just refurbished one of the floors of DisneyQuest to reflect that instead of getting rid of it.

Not to mention they opened during one of the slowest times of the year.

I think it's fallout from The Last Jedi reaction.

It's really a shame they got rid of the ESPN Zone concept - Disney Springs would be ripe for one and I think do very well.

No, the MK is dead because of TLJ. Disney Springs is dead because of Solo. And the NBA Experience is dead because of no Yoda.

Feedback is probably good amongst attendees because the only attendees are NBA fans. Most other people don't seem bothered.

Raise the movie ticket prices at the nearby theatres in Disney Springs. Include a (2) hour time frame before or after the movie you are going to see to go to NBA attraction. Lots of guests and locals see movies and may increase attendance at NBA and also may buy that NBA jersey to take home.

Might as well put Space Jam on permanent rotation in AMC as well. Desperate times need desperate measures.

Any idea is better than no idea at all.

Locals don't care about this crap. We're too busy enjoying the much better offerings at Springs.

Then go blow your paycheck on something else. The Mouse thanks you!

I assume they would figure that into their attendance expectations.

Im not a basketball fan at all, but I'd surmise that attendance during NBA season with a little tied in advertising will have better participation. You want to open with low numbers so you can adjust those things that just don't work as planned

 

[MisterPenguin]

Is it basket season?

Basket weaving season

The daily attendance numbers I heard for this are shocking
