Executives are not exactly jumping at this idea

Though hosting NBA games at Walt Disney World sounds like a good idea in theory and would be of mutual benefit to both Disney and the NBA, a recent statement was released by NBA Commissioner Adam Silver who said that "bubble-like concepts" to continue the NBA season, while they may be interesting, have only been listened to at the moment and the NBA isn't "seriously engaged" yet in conversations about continuing the NBA season in this way. 

Echoing this sentiment was Disney Executive Chairman Bob Iger, who was in attendance at a recent NBA owners meeting, and stated that the emphasis for Disney at this point involves looking at the data, and not any potential dates for reopening or scheduling any events.

Unfortunately it looks like no decisions will be made on the 2019-2020 NBA season this month, and sadly for basketball fans, that could mean that the current season has most likely already ended. However, as the world continues to grapple with the COVID-19 pandemic, anything could be possible in the future, and we'll be keeping an eye out for any more news from the NBA about special events or games that could be held at Walt Disney World while the resort remains closed. 

As always, while this situation is evolving, all travelers should check out the CDC's official site here, which has information on the virus and how to prevent its spread.
