Disney Quest Closing

[Lacy]

Not surprised to hear this but probably a good thing if they couldn't keep it updated. I have some fun memories of DisneyQuest and I'll keep those as they are without having to plan for another visit and being disappointed.

It is most certainly not that they could not keep it updated. With the amount of money the Disney company brings in, it was simply a choice to leave it static.

Ding Dong the attraction is gone!

Won't miss it. But can't say the idea of the NBA experience excites me either. Now the PGA experience would be cool.

We enjoyed DQ a few times my kids loved it. I would let it go quietly into the night if maybe a NFL experience was taking it's place but NBA experience? No thank you very much will not waist my vacation time on basketball.

That is too bad, DQ was a nice option and about the only reason, we still had to go to Downtown Disney. (With the lack of unique clothing or souvenirs only available at certain locations,(you can pretty much get the same souvenirs at every park). I agree with many, that the lack of updates and upkeep, was a monetary decision, for WDW management. I can't see this NBA experience doing much better than the Richard Petty driving experience. It appears that the plan for Disney Springs, is to be a overpriced strip mall. And I have had no real desire to return to Universal studios, since the first time we were there in 2000, but as it become glaringly obvious that profits have been put before innovation (there needs to be a balance, and as long as they've been doing this, they should be better at hiding this fact,(understanding of course that they are a for profit business, just, a bit of the magic is lost when that fact seems to be top priority and in your face), anyhow I am ready to go west to DL, and my next trip to Florida will definitely be less Disney.

Sad to see this as I always enjoyed Disney Quest. We didn't spend a lot of time there, we would usually go in an evening. 'Pirates of the Caribbean Battle for Buccaneer Gold' was one of my favourites as it was a good one to work together in a team and have fun as a family. On the plus side I guess this means we keep our unbeaten record...

Will also miss some other games with good memories here such as Cyberspace Mountain, Virtual Jungle Cruise and Buzz Lightyear's Astroblasters.

I genuinely just had to Wikipedia search NBA to work out if that meant basketball or baseball. That could just be a cultural thing though as neither sport is particularly mainstream in the UK.

I remember a post concerning the closing of the hotel arcade rooms? Does anyone know if that actually happened? I think the reason had something to do with florida gambling laws?

That just applied to the prize counters at the larger resort arcades, like the Contemporary. They closed the counters. The arcades are still open.
