Dr. Who at DisneyWorld?

Hey! Anyone ever see Dr. Who things at DisneyWorld? Maybe in England in Epcot? We are huge fans!!

There was a loooooooooooooong thread recently on bringing the Tardis to Epcot, and a lot of Dr. Who talk. Check out this thread:

I think that is highly unlikely since Dr. Who is owned by BBC (British Broadcasting Company).

Well in the US Dr Who plays on SyFy which is an NBCuniversal channel. So its highly unlikely since NBCuniversal owns Universial Studios Florida and I would assume have first crack at theme park rights.

Dr. Who actually runs on BBCAmerica now in the US. It started however on Sci-Fi (before the stupid "SyFy" rebranding), so I don't know if they still occasionally show any of the classic or early revival episodes on occasion.

Actually asked at the British pavilion in July, and they do not sell any Dr. Who related merchandise. They did sell some books about Lego Harry Potter...we all know who has theme park rights to Harry Potter. Maybe it's a Lego thing.

I was on my phone so I couldn't fully quote this from wikipedia

Syfy (first run and repeats of Series 1 – 4), BBC America (first run of 2009/2010 specials and Series 5 – 6, repeats of all Series), and PBS (repeats of classic and new series)

Also note that any episodes shown on US tv are cut to accommodate the large amount of commercials you have. Full versions are on Netflix
