Why can't this be Bob Iger/Kathleen Kennedy's ego project?
This belongs to Disneyland.

My survey simply asked American Standard or Toto?

I will be super angry if Disneyland gets a SW land and DHS does not, We have SWW and they do not! We have the space to have a great SW land, and since that SWW brings in a ton of money for Disney, is doesn't make sense for them to pass up a SW land at DHS. I am hoping we do get it, Carsland doesnt need to happen at DHS. We need something new and unique to DHS, not a copy of what CA has.....

I know there's a lot that could be done, but what are you seeing as most likely? Creating a Star Wars land around Star Tours at DHS maybe?

We have to get it first. See my argument in the Cars Land thread. Same reason. (It has to do with the M word)

Most likely, Streets of America, LMA, Backlot will go bye bye and something will be built around there. The latest I heard was that Osbourne has been a huge reason why they are hesitant to tear down Streets of America. But I have heard from someone that works Osbourne that it can fit on Sunset if Disney so wished it. So there are a lot of factors that come into play for DHS when building a new area. I personally think Star Wars land could only take up half of it and an expanded Pixar place takes up the rest, but thats me dreaming. If Disney was smart, they would see SW land as a huge money maker and build it to open along with the new SW movie and throw a huge celebration, but thats only me dreaming

They are talking about this going in place of the Backlot Express and the parade float building, which is between and behind Star Tours and The Indy Stunts show

That is a ton of space, if I am correctly remembering what you are talking about. Also it would disrupt a lot of backstage flow and how people get to work.

To be clear: there have been surveys sent to both DL and WDW guests, right? There's one survey that talks about Star Wars "at Disneyland" and another talking about Star Wars "at Walt Disney World", right?
Osborne on Sunset would be an unmitigated disaster. They'd have to reroute the path to Fantasmic and carve out some kind of back entrance to Tower and RnRC.Most likely, Streets of America, LMA, Backlot will go bye bye and something will be built around there.

Yeah that is a good bit of space, and there's been a lot of talk on here recently about that back entrance road being relocated for future expansion on that side of the park

I have seen that, interesting. I have not heard anything around DHS, so it was news to me! It would make sense for it to relocated, but that means that backstage area's will have to be moved around a lot. Its just a huge project that if it is going to happen, it will be a while with all the things they will have to do. I am all for it though, Star Wars would fit amazingly in DHS.
Osbourne to Sunset would be a last case scenario. There are better area's for it. But if this does all happen, Osbourne does have to get re-located, it gets too many people every year for them to stop doing it.....

Heard recently (DO NOT put much into this...watercooler talk but came from a good source) an idea to move AFi Showcase into the Chinese Theatre queue area (first room and "theatre" preview room right before current load area) and utilize GMR space for a new Pixar attraction with the entrance on Mickey Ave. across from Monohan's. (This would require removing or moving the giant coca-cola six pack.) Like I said...nothing really behind it but an idea floating around at the least.

That building could house two attractions! Brilliant. Especially the idea of repurposing the lobby which I would imagine would involve the removal of the BAH.
