Well, there was Soap Opera bistro and Soap Star Weekends (celebrating ABC
soap operas) and ESPN The Weekend at Walt Disney Studios.

And unlike Indiana Jones and Star Tours, Disney is just another licensee not an outright owner like they'll be. While I doubt Disney will outright try to pull the Marvel elements from other theme parks, they certainly aren't hugely incetivized to compromise on any future deals.

If nothing else, it is job security for a lot of lawyers.

Donald Duck finally gets to see his long lost cousin Howard the Duck.

And Pixar making Marvel movies. Imagine Brad Bird directing a Fantastic Four movie. We know he can do it. Of course, since he has done something like it already, will he want too.

If this gets X-men and Fantastic Four away from Fox it is good thing.

Haha don't you hate pants? I, for one, love Donald Ducking it.

With all the Disney characters who don't get recognized or used by Disney today, it makes you wonder if they will ever be seen again.

Ych, I hate Donald Ducking.


That is, shirt with no pants. Feels weird to me. Pants with no shirt feels great. No pants, No shirt, No shoes feels great, even if it means No Service.

But Donald Ducking. Blech. IMHO.

Islands of Adventure isn't the only park with Marvel characters - The Amazing Adventures of Spiderman is also at Universal Osaka, and will soon be at Universal Singapore.
