JoshTheStampede posted:They can't. Universal owns the theme park rights to Marvel properties. They own the rights in Florida and Japan, otherwise it's fair game for Disney. http://www.orlandoinformer.com/2014/disney-vs-universal-over-marvel/ quote:In early 2009, just six months before Disney would purchase Marvel Entertainment, [Universal Studios Hollywood] opted to not extend its contract with Marvel, as the last of the superhero characters had left the park in 2007 – thereby paving the way for Disneyland to host its Avengers meet-‘n-greets. This presumably means that Disney can build whatever Marvel-land they want in California.

BlueBayou posted:Exactly. They can only keep Marvel out of the parks East of the Mississippi The article I linked says it's a 250-mile radius around Orlando, actually. That would cover most of Florida, part of Georgia, and a tiny sliver of South Carolina. Everywhere else is fair game if Disney ever wants to build a new theme park.

And on my way out of the park, I saw a girl at a meet and greet take a selfie with Alice. Doesn't it suck to get old? All the kids start doing things you'd never have even thought of.

demonR6 posted:Or park at Contemporary and tell the guard at the gate you are going to X restaurant there. Someone decided to cut us off from the Grand Floridian parking lot, we used to use that one all the time. This sounds like it would work until your Magicband alerts the guard that you don't have a reservation there

demonR6 posted:should have elaborated. Looking at the OP I thought they may have wanted to go outside of the confines of the DDP. Surely you can eat anywhere you want and not be tied to the DDP but it makes more sense from a package perspective to take advantage of it. You are however restricted by the plan rules but I have not heard many complain about it. It was being restructured for this year though but not sure what changes were made. I think the guy's parents were against DDP entirely and didn't want to add it to their package. This is folly. But you can definitely pay for meals yourself without worrying about DDP. And by bring cash, you don't mean literally bring a wheelbarrow of cash. Just make sure you have the funds available.

Happitoo posted:I managed to snag a BOG dinner reservation for 5pm on Oct 30th. I'm super excited about it since I've wanted to eat there since it opened. I'm sure it'll be nice and stuff. I'm also sure it won't meet the expectations I have in my mind since it's popularity and hype is so high. Yeah, our options were 4:10 and 9:20 on the 28th. The later time won't be too bad really, since we're planning on going to Cocoa Beach earlier that day. Weather permitting of course.

We've got Park Hopper, though I feel my parents may be pooped from the whole day, I kind of want to go since it's my first trip. What all goes on? I'm interested in this as well.

Excpet for Pan, gently caress that queue line forever. Even if you plan ahead, getting a FP for Toy Story is tough. Hopefully the lines will get better with the expansion.

chitoryu12 posted:Nintendo also has plenty of pull, and Disney having their PokeStops, gyms, and Pokemon spawning deleted would be a PR nightmare. Banning selfie sticks is one thing. Banning children from playing Pokemon and eliminating a draw for people to come to the park? That's just dumb. Oh, I agree that it would be a bad idea. But it is possible.
