I am thinking more about the theme of movie and the resort not that there is a bar in the film.

Yeah, my wife tells me that there aren't many people that think like me. Consider yourself in the majority Captain!

Noted for next trip. I keep fearing one day that place won't be there for me to sit and enjoy.

This isn't for the Disney fan. This is for the NBA fan. I think it will do fine.

I think I'm hearing crickets...

As a huge sports fan I'm actually pretty excited for it. Depending on price and experience, I'm not sure if this will be a one and done or something I would do often but it's something to do for NBA fans. Though I would have preferred a NHL, MLB, NFL or NCAA basketball experience over NBA.

Do we know if the NBA experience will be included with the park hopper plus tickets?

I can see it being a big hit for birthday parties and stuff like that

Just not sure if there will be enough interest/repeat customers to support a place that big in Disney Springs - I mean, rent can’t be cheap there

Do we know if the NBA experience will be included with the park hopper plus tickets?

If it is I can see this being something we'll try for sure. If it's an additional cost we'll probably pass.

The NBA and Disney have such a money heavy relationship. The NBA can certainly afford the rent and this is a one of a kind venue. Also remember Wide World of Sports which holds basketball tournaments. I imagine many people in town for that may want to stop and see this.

Beauty and the Beast themed bar to replace Mizner's Lounge at Grand Floridian

http://blogmickey.com/2019/03/beaut...to-replace-mizners-lounge-at-grand-floridian/

Making Mizner’s Lounge B&tB themed literally is the dumbest idea I have ever heard Disney do to a bar/restaurant/resort. Definitely will end my going to Mizner’s if it is true.

Does not fit the Grand at all theme wise, I as an adult do not want to drink at what I feel is a kids theme, I just want to relax and listen to the band. Also Mizner’s is V&A’s lounge (needed for the AAA Five Diamond Award) so not sure a B&tB theme will fly for AAA.

If this were to hurt the 5 diamond award I would think Disney wouldn’t be doing it then. Having that 5 diamond award is a big deal for Disney.
