The NBA Experience at Disney Springs has been “temporarily closed” for quite some time now. When Disney Springs and Disney World reopened, The NBA Experience remained closed with no reopening date mentioned and fans have been waiting patiently for a reopening date. It opened just two years ago, but now Disney has announced that it is permanently closed for good.

My News 13 reports that “the decision to close the attraction was a mutual one between Disney and the NBA, according to Disney and will not affect other partnerships the company has with the NBA or local team, the Orlando Magic.”
If you aren’t familiar with the NBA Experience in Disney Springs, it was an experience both kids and adults could enjoy. Inside this impressive venue inspired by modern-day NBA arenas, there were 13 unique experiences that merge the magic of Disney with the thrills of the NBA.
Walt Disney World and the NBA have a great history of working together. For instance, NBA games were held in the “Disney Bubble” during the pandemic last year in 2020. Although Disney has not said what it plans to do with the space the NBA Experience currently occupies, we hope that it is replaced with something just as fun for sports fans!
Are you bummed that the NBA Experience is closing for good or are you excited to see what Disney will replace it with?
