I should be too old for this...
This past April I was fortunate enough to finally visit Disney World (and I still think I would like to live there). It was like stepping back in time and revisiting those wonderful memories. All the familiar characters were there. They will now be joined by Spiderman, Iron-Man, the X-Men....I can't wait for my next visit!
It's been a long time coming, but my dream of Spiderman living at Disney seems to have happened....I wonder if there will be an attraction where I get to feel like I am swinging from rooftops?

I love that Disney is adding to their catalog of characters as well, and can't wait to see what they do with it. However, I doubt you'll see much of Marvel, other then merchandise, in the disney parks, at the very least not in orlando. Universal has a contract with Marvel, for exclusive theme park rights east of the mississippi. Iger, the head of Disney, has hinted that contracts will not be revoked that were made before the purchase.
Some good news though. There is a 3d Spiderman ride at Universal Studios. It is an amazing ride, and if you get to orlando again, you should see it. It's at the Universal studios Islands of Adventure park! :)
So glad that Pete and I played a small part in your Disney trip! I still get the same feeling when I visit there, it never gets old :-)
I was wondering what would happen with Universal deal. Thanks for the info Adam. It's hard to know what impact the Marvel characters will have at the theme parks in the near future...I was pleased with how well the other franchises have worked out; ie. The Muppets (also childhood favourites).
Mama C. You and Pete made the Disney trip work in so many ways! It was great to see everyone have such an awesome time! Plus having so much family happily together at the Villa was a huge bonus! Let's do it again!
I second that motion... I guess I could keep you around for another trip ;-). xoxo
