News Round Up 2019

Watch closer to the train station and take a minnie van? Request during fireworks to minimize the wait.

Not sure what you are talking about but I was curious about Hollywood Studios After Hours events for the next year since they announced AK and MK ones today.

It will be interesting to see if they lost the rights to Spider-Man, Spider-Man in a solo film or Peter Parker generally. Maybe a Night Monkey movie, Peter Parker movie, or Peter Parker as Iron Man movie is in order?

Ugh, soo tempting. The only one I can do is AK on 10/30, which is the only night I can watch HEA on that trip, which is my current favorite thing at WDW right now. What to do...

I quoted the wrong post, should have been the one above who a minnie van could help.

Building a 3rd (7th) Disney Cruise Line ship was a surprise.

On our last cruise we heard that they got a good deal on it since it was the ship in between the 2 DCL had contracted for, and a different cruise line cancelled their order. ( so the order will be 5,7,6 )

I can't say with 100% confidence, but I read somewhere that the artist who created Donald Duck granted the rights to his image to the University of Oregon (the ducks). The artist was an alumni of Oregon, and gave them the primary rights over Disney. If I recall correctly, Disney has to pay Oregon to use his image....It seems a bit far fetched, but as a huge Donald Duck fan, I too struggle to find good, especially classic style, merchandise. It seems that it is only every angry Donald.

That is not completely accurate. Walt was the creator, alongside Clarence Nash to a degree, and coming shortly off of losing the rights to Oswald, would certainly have not made another mistake like that. Donald’s first appearance was in 1934 in The Wise Little Hen. Students at The University of Oregon started unofficially mocking up their mascot to look like Donald in the 40s as his popularity grew. A few years into that, their athletic director Leo Harris met with Walt personally and the two came to an unofficial agreement that allowed the University to use Donald, so they did make an agreement with Donald’s creator. A formal agreement was drawn up in 1973 and signed allowing for use only for Sports related uses. For any use outside of Sports and for many sport events, the University required Disney’s approval. And because of those restrictions, in 2010 they made a new agreement, freeing the mascot suit from Donald’s likeness, allowing the school more leeway for appearances.

HEA is at 9 and after hours starts at 9. I'd be wasting at least 45 min, maybe even close to an hour of 3 hours paid AH time even with a minnie van

They must think they can handle it now that it’s blown up so much. Probably not...

I think it would be a big mistake if they let this go without a deal.

Honestly though I think Sony sees the importance of Spider Man in MCU phase 4 and is leveraging that for more than a 50/50 split. I don’t think it’s good news for either side here if they fail to agree to shared terms again. Holland’s spidey is important to the MCU and the MCU is important to that spidey. I can’t see another re-boot matching the success level they are seeing with FFH.

We decided to go this year and just wait a couple of years to see how everything shakes out. Too many bad rumors and too many upcharges already on the books for us. But paid FPs is the hay bale that breaks the spitting camels back.

Yes, I thought it was interesting we'd been hearing it was coming and now they add another set of guests who can add this. Inside the Magic also has a story on it today.

Is Spiderman really important to phase 4, though? They mostly tied him in to Iron Man, who will not be part of phase 4 at all.

Far From Home really set Spiderman up as Stark's chosen successor. It seemed pretty clear that Marvel was counting on Spiderman to bridge Phase 3 to Phase 4 transition. So I find it interesting that Sony is pointing at Disney. I think maybe Sony thought they had a ton of leverage and tried to force it and Marvel simply shrugged and said we'll figure it out, see ya. Either way, it's disappointing.

I don't want to get into a debate about it here because that's not the purpose of this thread, but I believe he is.

I'm sure Marvel is clever enough to find a way around his character in the MCU, but unless they move to prequels they are going to have a harder time removing the MCU from the character's story line than they had removing the mind stone from Vision's forehead

There were rumors that they were going to bring Osborn in and do The Dark Avengers arc which hinges on a deal with Sony. It is disappointing because I was looking forward to Norman Osborn without the Green Goblin crap and having him be a FOIL to what Stark was.

But, MCU has Doctor Doom now so as disappointing as this is, they have so many options

Multiverse shenanigans can easily fix this and with The Eternals setting the stage for P4 I think they will be fine without Spider-Man. There are so many young, coming of age heroes they can replace him with. Ms Marvel, Stature (Cassie Lang), Hawkeye (Kate Bishop), Speed and Wiccan (twin sons of Wanda and Vision), and Nova.

My sons are going to be very sad that they are changing roadster racers, but I can see why - recent episodes have already run out of real "racing" story lines.

The new version of the hot dog song is comically bad. It sounds like someone trying to do a cover without getting caught by Disney copyright on youtube.
