My son is big into sports. When I heard about a new NBA experience located at Disney Springs, it was definitely something I wanted to look into.
Where to begin? You have two options: buy the tickets ahead of time or choose to purchase them at the experience. 🔑 Get them in advance! They are good for a year and when we arrived there was a decent line waiting to get in. The price is $34 for an adult (10+) ticket and $29 for a child (3-9) ticket. Kids under 3 do not require a ticket. Tickets can be used any time. Go to Disney’s website to order and assign to the guests participating. Keep in mind a child’s ticket must be accompanied with an adult ticket. For kids who fall under the adult ticket range, a parent can still accompany them without a ticket. We did this option so I could go with him, I just couldn’t participate. You just link the ticket to your magic band or card and use it like you would to get into any park or ride. It took us a minute to figure out you don’t have to stand in line. You just walk up to the cast members inside the entrance and you’ll see the magic band scanners.
What’s it like? There’s not really a time limit so you can spend as much time in there as you’d like. I’d recommend at least an hour. There are 13 stations you can experience in whatever order you’d like. 🔑 The better ones are upstairs. On the main floor we did the draft combine first which measures your wingspan, vertical leap, and shooting. There are low key stations like visiting the locker room where you can see player jerseys and gear, as well as a theater showing a 10 minute video (we skipped it). There was also a trivia section. Upstairs you’ll find stations that allow you to dunk, teach dribbling, a beat the clock shooting station, arcade shooting games, and a slingshot basketball game. The dunking area allows you to lower the rim but my son still struggled 😂. He’s small but mighty. Anyway, the other stations on both floors have picture opportunities where you can hold the Championship trophy, MVP trophy, and a draft pic with the NBA Commissioner. The cool thing about each experience is you scan you magic band/card at each station and it automatically captures pictures and stats...even action shots! These pics will go to your Memory Maker if you purchase it. 🔑 I’ve always found buying it useful for our trips.
Was it worth it? If you have a kid who’s a basketball 🏀 fan, absolutely! It is definitely a fun addition to the Disney Springs area of Walt Disney World.
