      Disney Buys Marvel

      Hello all,

      I read this article earlier today. It looks like Disney are buying Marvel.

      I wonder where that leaves Universal? Islands of Adventure's best bits are Marvel-themed. Do you think they'll keep the same rides but re-theme them?

      Re: Disney Buys Marvel

      I was wondering that exact thing! What will happen to all that Marvel stuff at Universal.


      I'm not thrilled about Disney buying Marvel. I don't want to see Spiderman or Ironman walking around Epcot. I like my disney characters. Yes, I know that Disney bought the Muppets a while ago, but they seem to fit in Disney. Spiderman doesn't.

      Maybe, they are cleverly disguising that they also bought Universal for that $4Billion.

      There was a note in one article I read about Universal keeping the rights east of the Mississippi River and Disney having the rights west of the Missisippi River.

      I hope they don't put Marvel in any Disney park it just isn't right.

      I was reading about this and on the same page was this, it did make me LOL.

      I have to agree ,dont think that our grandchildren would stand in a line to see Spiderman or the Haulk as they do for the Disney Snow Whites and Mickey Mouse's.

      Re: Disney Buys Marvel

      Here is another article:

      Disney to Buy Comic Book Maker Marvel for $4 Billion (Update4) - Bloomberg.com

      My guess is this is Disney's answer to losing out on Harry Potter. I don't think anyone has anything to worry about with Superheros showing up on Main Street, World Showcase or The Tree of Life. If and when they have Marvel characters up and about it will be at a DHS expansion and/or a new 5th park IMO.

      WDW = 39 visits since 1979
      DCL = 3 cruises since 2002

      Been there, done that, going back
      2012 = Marriott Lakeshore Reserve - Food & Wine Festival (Oct)

      Re: Disney Buys Marvel

      I guess as I get older I want the same thing-it is fun with the main Disney like Mickey and Minnie. I want the others like Spiderman or Ironman more out in the open so that we see them more. Kids love them.

      Re: Disney Buys Marvel

      When we were at WDW a short while ago one of the CM`s told me that the area under construction at MK was to accommodate some Marvel themed rides.
      Dunno how reliable this source was though.
