REVIEW and PHOTOS: Is This What We Can Expect When LEVEL99 Comes to Disney World?

By Leave a Comment

We finally know what is going on with the abandoned NBA Experience building in Disney Springs!

Future home of LEVEL99

In case you missed it, the former home of both DisneyQuest and the NBA Experience will soon be home to a new tenant, LEVEL99! Previously, a permit was filed for demolition of the building, but we are so happy to hear something new will be taking up residence.
