regarding your universal comment.
I wonder if this is some kind of manuver to do a same as.
Remember when Universal opened their park, Disney rushed and opened MGM studioes, now hollywood studios.
Now disney has a “me too” with the marvel heros so it does not matter that universal has spiderman because hollywood studios will have spiderman too. I can see the mass ads now.
Where should a family spend their hard earned money. At one park where the kids only get 1/2 of the menu of characters or at a disney park were all the characters can be found.
Disney is just looking for a generic fit. Also remember disney has essentially ignored boys. It is all princesses and they they throw in pirates as an afterthought.
They have to do SOMETHING to balance out the park or DisneyWorld, and the Disney brand, will turn into a sissified spoiled little girl buy me this daddy buy be that daddy park.
If Disney wants to do some good they could shut down ABC and rename ABC Family into Rated X Kids Network or something more label-true
