Disney Quest Closes

Word came last year that Disney Quest was closing to make room for an NBA basketball themed restaurant. Disney Quest is a multi floor arcade that opened in 1998. You can read more about Disney Quest's history here.

The sale to the NBA restaurant fell through in 2016 over a disagreement between Disney and the future owners on who would pay for the building renovations. Negotiations started up again and an agreement was made. The closure of Disney Quest from moved from 2016 to July 2, 2017.

We decided to go to Disney Quest to enjoy one last go. Unfortunately, we arrived and found a huge line of people waiting to get in because the building was filled to capacity! My boys were very disappointed as it was clear we wouldn't be able to get in. We decided to, instead, head over to the AMC theater and watch Cars 3.

The theory behind replacing Disney Quest with an NBA experience is to give husbands something to do while the wives go shopping. They want to pull in the kinds of customers that wouldn't normally go to Disney. I don't know how successful this will be and would rather have seen them keep Disney Quest.
