If you don't watch the straight to video sequels, hand in your Disney Adult Card!!

I don’t know the characters but I assume Dave & Buster’s, which would do great at DS and Disney wouldn’t be tasked with replacing the arcade games. Everyone wins!

Only problem is that they can't have redemption based games on Disney Property anymore... (how the Dinoland games are still running is beyond me).
So, it would be the first Redemptionless D&B's..Or make it To Wreck It Ralph's BarCade..

Old article. Law was changed to allow such penny ante stuff that was 'skill based' and not having a random element....

Are arcades legal in Florida?​

That depends on what games they offer. Arcades that offer video or physical games of skill that allow you to win tokens or tickets to be exchanged for prizes are covered by Florida's Family Amusement Games Act, so heading out to Chuck E. Cheese or Dave & Buster's is fine.​
But if the game includes a randomized element, such as a random chance as to which prize you can win — even if the outcome relies on skill — it's considered a game of chance and is illegal under the regulations against slot machines. In 2016 a court ruled against the Palms II internet cafe in Ocala that featured such games, saying that the random element brought them under the law against “any game . . . of chance, at any place, by any device whatever, for money or other thing of value.”​

So, why haven't they brought it back to WDW? I recall pop century having a redemption booth at one point but, then they were removed..Same thing when they had the Midway on the moon section at Disneyquest..It was weird laying redemption games but no prizes.,Thus also happened in the Chicago based one as well..

D&B are apparently, from what I've heard, been in a bit of financial trouble post-pandemic. They've had ample chance to expand their offerings in Orlando (we're probably the biggest destination that doesn't have 2 locations), but keep using their extremely small offering on I-Drive as their only location and seem uninterested in opening a 2nd location. The one all the way out in Daytona is surprisingly big...

Round1 has been expanding a lot in the US and they currently only have one location in Florida, might be a good option for them.

I still think the idea of theming it around Wreck It Ralph would be a better way to go and calling it.

A BarCade and Grill where each subsection is based around Sports, Action, Fighting..Etc.

PuttShack is a great new concept...Miniature golf...High tech scoring plus food and cocktails...the one in Atlanta I have been too was a lot of fun, and very popular... They have the bowling already...Why not a PuttShack....and I know Disney doesn't want to own any businesses at Disney Springs anymore, but a really well themed version of Putt Shack using Disney IP and characters...and keeping the food and cocktails would be amazing and a great thing to do on rainy days...or any day for that matter...

Indoor mini golf with cocktails...
What could be more fun than that?
I was surprised that the Disney Mini Golf courses were so bland considering it is DISNEY.... I always expected them to be remarkable.... but they never really were...

This listing in the legal notices of the Orlando Sentinel today is interesting.
