China buying WDW??

[Tina O]

I wanted to know if anyone heard that China is supposedly in the process of Buying WDW. Someone told me they are and that it was on 60 Minutes. I've never heard this.

Yes, Phil China, Walt Disney's estranged grand nephew is about to pony up a crap ton of cash and other assets (mostly rare Pokemon cards from his youth) and purchase the resort.

If you want to do some digging you can find threads from when selling all or part of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts was explored a few years ago.

The majority of Hong Kong Disney Resort and Shanghai Disney Resort are owned by the local government.

Yeah......China is buying WDW.......

Yeah......China is buying WDW.......

And shortly after that, Apple is buying China.

Here's how these things work: I heard a rumor that Mark Cuban wants to vastly expand his Florida empire and wants to purchase WDW. Can someone confirm this? (Just watched Shark Tank so his name came to mind.)

Ah, now I see where the OP's misunderstanding comes from. You know, since Cuban also owns China...

I heard that Comcast was then going to buy Apple, at which point Disney can then use the avengers marvel characters in WDW. Once this gets finalized, Iger is going to use two years of bonuses to break Disney off on its own. I know there is a lot to this plan, but I have seen blueprints on nights that my cold medicine causes me to have out of body experiences and I am transconfigurated to Iger's office in Cali. Oh the things I has seen.

Wait MARK CUBAN is buying WDW!?!!

It makes perfect sense. 99.999% of the merchandise is made in China anyway so this could be a great way to avoid the middleman!

Or.... it could be a steaming pile of ********.

Sorry, you got it backwards.

WDW is buying China...

Nope. Not happening.

Disney is building a Shanghai Disneyland tho in partnership with the Chinese Government.

@Tina O sorry, rough thread to start for a new member. Sarcasm runs rampant at times

The fact they would even consider selling is beyond concerning.

*sigh*

Disney is buying new china! Like new plates and tea cups. For all of its parks. That's where the confusion is coming from.

 

[GhostHost1000]

Is it April 1st already?

No Disney is buying China because Bob sees the chance to get some great franchises and IP. Haven't you ever seen Kung Pow?

Yes, because they are upset that the hat is being taken down. Expect to see re-construction of the hat begin any day now.

 

[GhostHost1000]

maybe the real question should be who actually watches 60 minutes?
