The NBA has been in talks with Disney since April when the idea to finish their 2020 season at Walt Disney World’s ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex was initially proposed.
And now Keith Smith (a former Walt Disney Company employee and current writer for Yahoo Sports) has just posted on Twitter that Disney and the NBA have potentially agreed on a place for the players to stay!
Although this information hasn’t been officially announced by Disney or the NBA yet, Keith Smith has stated Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort will likely provide players with accommodations once professional basketball resumes!
Per Walt Disney World sources, Disney and the NBA have agreed that Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort is likely to be the primary host resort for the NBA when they resume the season. Sources say an agreement may be reached this week, which will allow preparations to move quickly.

Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort is located near Disney World’s ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex. Although technically a moderate resort, the hotel also features a convention center and boasts several business-level amenities.

The NBA is set to vote on resuming its 2020 season at Disney World this Thursday, so we hope to provide you with more details then.

Disney World will be different in February -- find out how!
Now Disney really has gone too far. First it was the masks, no fireworks, no parades and no meet and greets.
We were upset by that, then we calmed down and hoped things would settle down by September. And if the rules were still in place we would deal with it.
Disney selling point being that the parks would be practically empty and you would have plenty of time to enjoy your hotel.
And what hotel did we book. Coronado springs destino tower. We even sprung for a club room instead of a meal plan.
It was the hotel that was geared towards adults and was supposed very relaxing. Which fit me and my mom.
Now though its going to be full with hundreds of 20 something energetic guys that have been in lockdown for months! (I checked the number of players 375- 450 is the average not counting coaches).
The other I can deal with. But this. There is no excuse for this. We are talking with our travel agent and was told once Disney officially announces this she will help us figure it out.
Thanks for letting me rant.
Tiana, sorry this potential situation might thwart your plans. Hopefully it’ll all work out.
LOL! Tiana we are in the same boat as you with being booked at Gran Destino Tower at Coronado Springs. I can totally agree it would not be ideal to be booked into a hotel with a bunch of players. My thoughts were that they would move the guests that were booked into that hotel if the players are going to be there, totally just my speculation though. Also it will be interesting to see if this would run into September, be over before then, or what?!
If it is in the resort, and they don’t move us to another resort, I will probably move to a different resort on property. There are quite a few that are nice for adults getting away to Disney World. Good luck on everything and I hope it all works out for us all.
Amy, the speculation about the playoff season is just speculation so far. But an end date in October has apparently been floated.
I heard something about Jambo House??
Lisa, we also saw that rumor, so we’re still watching and waiting for details from official sources.
The only way that businesses will change their way is for us to hit them where it hurts, The POCKET. DO what we did, cancel and say ” I won’t go and spend my hard earned money while this nonsense is going on” We’ve spent on average about $10,000 on our last four fall trips, so if they’re willing to see that go, SO AM I. Wish I knew what we’ve spent in all the years. Now, If they see Empty Resorts, Empty Parks, Empty Restaurants, and empty so forth and so on, one can only think that will drive that point home. Otherwise if we continue to Feed the Machine, then we only have ourselves to blame.
