  • That´s sounds amazing! We´ll love it! Any idea when it´s going to be open? We´re going in early November.

  • My family had just started to enjoy ESPN the weekend at Disney Studios when it disappeared. It sounds like this may be a little like one of the venues found there, at least I hope so. Hope there is no additional ticket needed or fee to have the experience.

  • As a new Premium Annual Passholder if this goes in where Disney Quest is please expect me to be asking for my money back and a downgrade to the normal pass

  • As long as it’s not a replacement for Disneyquest, I’m actually excited for this. Many years ago my father and I shared a cry when the Fiesta Fun Center shut down to become a restauant, I dont want history repeating itself with me and my son.

  • Any estimate as to when this will open?

  • Can’t wait to try this out!! Finally a NEW NBA experience available in the area! Loving all the new additions to the Springs!

  • I’m concerned at just how this can fit the theme of DisneySprings? I’m not against it, and seeing as ESPN has a pretty big contract with the NBA, I understand the synergy of it all, but just don’t see how the theme of DisneySprings can somehow handle an NBA “attraction”

  • Hopefully the Disney Quest building is not being viewed as a possible location. There are many different options besides the NBA, which has declining attendance. NBA City does not seem to be very popular at Disney Springs other major competitor.

  • This is awesome that NBA is coming to Disney Springs and I can’t wait and I love it! Awesome work Disney! Welcome NBA to the Disney Family! I love Orlando Magic Basketball team!

  • This is fantastic, great addition!!!
    Many NBA fans are going to love it, especially in my family.
    LOVE WDW!!!
