Nice job @rteetz - I don't watch the podcast regularly, but this was neat.

That said - don't touch my Tiki Birds!!!

So while I would love to see more Futurama, it would have to be held to the standards of seasons 1-5, which is a pretty tall order.

I agree. but I don't have to watch the "off" episodes, so I'm totally willing to risk their money on a chance for new. Disney likes to sink big money into things, so I'd be hopeful for some good writers.

Great job Ryan .... can tell you were more comfortable and just the flow between you and the team was better thank your first time (which is to be expected - just saying glad to see it is even better!)

Thanks! I think seeing everyone in their normal attire helped this time too than the Halloween attire last time

The short of it is, the only way Disney financially benefits from Universal's Marvel land is that it potentially gets kids excited about Marvel stuff and in turn maybe they spend more money on marvel things down the road. But as far as actual in-park spending goes, you have to go down a pretty long rabbit hole to be able to attribute any of that cash back to Disney.

Disney/Marvel does get royalties on items sold in the park.

Watched the disunplugged podcast for the first time. Thanks for the link. Didn't intend to watch the whole event, but ended up staying through to the end. Willing to check it out again, so a good job to the team in putting it together.

Rumor

Agent P's World Showcase Adventure to become Ducktales themed

This would be awesome. I'd want to do it as a 33 year old adult!

The same royalties as if they were sold anywhere else though. I'm not disputing that Disney makes money off of Marvel merchandise. Just that they make any more or less because it is being sold at Universal instead of Target.

I don't know how it would work for standard retail but at Universal, they get a guaranteed $ amount and once sales hit a certain level they get an additional percentage on all sales.

It makes difference that its CBS All Access.

Yeah- if Star Trek doesn't get me to pay for "CBS All Access" then (and it didn't) then Twilight Zone certainly won't.
