Is the NBA Experience Disney Springs Closed Forever?
For NBA fans that visit Walt Disney World or frequent Disney Springs in Florida, we’ve got some bad news…
It appears that the Disney NBA Experience is now closed permanently and will NOT be reopening in the future.
According to the Orlando Sentinel, the move to shut down the NBA Experience has been confirmed by The Walt Disney Company:
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.

And, thankfully, the beloved Orlando Magic aren’t going anywhere, so you can still see some NBA fun up close and personal in the area!
Have a magical day!
