It's weird that it would go with "Riskey" instead of "Risky". I thought you were making a bad joke that a Cantina would somehow be a risky venture when really it's a no-brainer.

We have a county nearby named "Henrico," which goes back centuries and of course is not a well-known word; and a few years back Microsoft Word would constantly "correct" me when I meant "Henrico" and change it to "hernia." It was hilarious, except that I usually was writing a business letter.

(Yes, I know I could add it to the dictionary, which later I did; but, hey, I was usually in a hurry... but didn't need to give myself a hernia.)

Yeah, but "Eisley" to "risky" makes sense. Kinda. "Riskey" isn't even a word!

No, it won't be called Mos Riskey but it's the same idea.

Even though it would make no sense, unless they made the "gateway planet located in the Outer Rim" Takodana (even though it's considered a mid rim planet, and wouldn't make any sense with the planets current description), Maz's Castle would be a cool "cantina" of sorts, and would easily fit in with The Force Awakens part of the Land

Even though her castle was destroyed, but that's besides the point.....:p

Make the building into a theater that can show Broadway shows and bring Disney Broadway to the West Side. I would love to take an evening and see one of the great production that Disney now has in New York and traveling the county.

I love this idea! Disney has been producing some great shows, and I'd love to catch a show while at WDW.

I agree, you would think this was a no-brainer. I wonder if they are concerned their touring revenues would take a hit? Or if touring casts make significantly above what the entertainment contractors/CMs make that it would cause them overall entertainment issues?

There has to be a financial reason why they haven't done this yet. I'm sure they could fill a house large enough to make it profitable.

I think it makes a lot of sense. Vegas has made some great money with residencies, and even justified the building of new theatres for it. Shows like Lion King and Aladdin are doing well on broadway. And touring shows like Newsies are doing great as well.
I know if I was on the fence about going to WDW, being able to see Newsies or one of the other shows would probably push me to go for it.

On a side note, I always thought it would be cool for Disney to form a ballet company. Based on the incredible shows they put on, it would be very cool to see what they could do with classics like Swan Lake or the Nutcracker. Or imagine ballet versions of Disney properties like Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast, Mulan, etc.

Here's an idea. Clean up disneyquest. Put new games and fix the old ones. Put a great food area that is not the same burgers and fries (years ago we would get the spaghetti and meatballs from there that was really good)
Include this on the annual passes at all levels. People will go there and also spend money other places
Now, let the negative start

Remember when you could get a slice from The Cheesecake Factory?

If this is true it's good news as I have no idea how they could maintain interest in a single sport that's not really a big deal outside of the USA. Now I could see a an ESPN sports bar with immersive themed levels and weekly events (autograph signings and the like) fitting in well in that building but realistically I don't know how that would hold up long term either.

Yeah cause basketball isn't popular in Europe and China or anything

I don't care about sports outside of the local teams, and even then not that much. And I'm from Philly, where basketball is generally last in popularity. (Here's how it goes, at least from my perspective- the hierarchy of who Philly loves is Eagles, Flyers, Phillies, and Sixers, in that order, unless one of the teams gets on a hot streak and goes to the playoffs.) So I don't care about the NBA one whit.

Now, if this were being sponsored by the Harlem Globetrotters, I'd be all over this like white on rice.

If the NBA situation fell through (hopefully this is true; it doesn't belong at Disney Springs) and if "One Man's Dream" is removed from Hollywood Studios, then change Disney Quest to "One Man's Dream". Make it a free attraction. Put the attraction on the upper floors.
Put merch on the first floor (to generate some $$$). Update the movie and expand the number of exhibits.

Add old ride vehicles and interactive exhibits. Like D23 events.
I've just made this official.
