ORLANDO, Fla. — The NBA Experience at Disney Springs will not reopen, Walt Disney World has confirmed.
The interactive attraction shut down with the rest of the resort as a coronavirus pandemic precaution in March 2020. It never reopened to the public. NBA Experience debuted in the West Side neighborhood of the shopping and dining complex in August 2019.
Its opening was attended by longtime basketball stars Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Grant Hill. Other players on the stage included then-Orlando Magic forward Aaron Gordon, Victor Oladipo and Dwyane Wade. Walt Disney Co. CEO Robert Iger and NBA commissioner Adam Silver spoke to the Disney Springs crowd before the official opening.
