All this means is Disney world gets more kinds of amusement park rides. That and they get to slap a Disney logo on comic books.

Though I think the White Queen might give any of the Disney princesses are run for their money in terms of popularity in the parks.  :P

My thoughts exactly.

And I thought I was evil. I'm a fairy princess skipping through a field of daisy's compared to Disney.

it's gonna be interesting to see how this plays out... especially with Universal's theme parks having Spiderman as one of their major ride attractions.... can't imagine they are too happy about this...
