NEWS: Permit Filed for DEMOLITION of EMPTY Disney Springs Attraction

Disney World is going through a serious transformation that will bring new rides, restaurants, hotel rooms, and experiences to the park and beyond.

Welcome to the Magic Kingdom!

Between the construction in EPCOT, the work on Tiana’s Bayou Adventure in Magic Kingdom, and even the new Polynesian Resort building, it’s a lot to keep up with. And, we just spotted a new permit that’s a pretty major indicator that some HUGE construction changes are coming soon to Disney Springs!

A new permit has been filed for work at the former NBA Experience in Disney Springs!

Previously the NBA Experience

This expansive space was previously the home of DisneyQuest, a four-story video gaming extravaganza, and it was later turned into the NBA Experience. After the pandemic, this attraction never re-opened with Disney confirming it was officially closed for good in 2021. The space was briefly home to a virtual Star Wars experience, but other than that has mostly remained empty.

NBA Experience

But, a whopping four years later, it looks like Disney is finally deciding to do something with the NBA Experience. And, with this being such a large space, the opportunities could be nearly endless. The permit is specifically for “general construction/demo,” so we know at least part if not all of the building will undergo some form of demolition. What comes next for the space is anyone’s (okay maybe not Disney’s) guess!

NBA Experience

We do know that Disney recently announced a partnership with Fortnite — could we see a new video game experience in this space? Of course, with Disney Springs being a shopping and dining destination, we could also see something along those lines put into this space. Either way, we’ll be keeping an eye out for udpates.
