Disney has today announced that the previously announced NBA Experience will open in the summer of 2019 on the West Side at Disney Springs.
“We are inspired by the design of the new building and the energy that it will bring to the West Side of Disney Springs,” said Senior Vice President of Disney Springs and ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex Maribeth Bisienere.
The state-of-the-art space, inspired by the modern architecture of new NBA arenas around the country, will include interactive games and competitions, immersive experiences, a retail store and an adjacent restaurant.
NBA President, Global Partnerships Sal LaRocca, recently commented on the project, sharing, “This one-of-a-kind experience is sure to be enjoyed by basketball and Disney fans of all ages who visit Disney Springs from around the world.”
Disney is currently in the process of demolishing the DisneyQuest building which closed earlier this year to make way for The NBA Experience.
