Well there’s 8 already under construction there.And only 3 of them are for WDW
Okay i know that's not true...but I wonder how many of them will actually see the light of day in the Florida swamp.

Not to veer off into the weeds, but Universal has finally decided to stop salivating over the upcharge events Disney's been putting out and actually do something. Most of the concepts are just knockoffs of existing events at WDW, but they're hoping to charge up to $150 on top of park admission, if the market research says they can get away with it. A couple even sounded worth it. It's funny that they're adopting a strategy that we've been bemoaning as the end of Epcot, but since they're constantly investing in their parks, it will probably work well.
I will say that Uni isn't exactly known for it's haute cuisine and the in-park food festivals are being done to death, so maybe skip developing that one, guys.

Apparently if the government rejects the Time Warner/AT&T merger, Warner might sell DC Comics as part of downsizing.

Could be Universal's way out of hosting Marvel in IOA or Disney going full Sheev on the cape market.

No way Universal gives up Marvel for DC. That would be moronic. Everyone knows Marvel is much bigger right now.

Do you have a link to the events? I don't see anything on their official blog or site.

If FOX deal goes through they will have a bargaining chip with Simpsons, no?
Depends on the licensing agreement. Also, are people flocking to Uni for their Simpson's Land?

And Universal would gladly give up Simpson’s to keep Marvel though I doubt the situation would come to that.

It makes good money but Marvel is a bigger property.

They're doing market reasearch at the moment to see how their ideas take, so there won't be anything to see on the website for a while. Their own rebranded MNSSHP, Christmas party, Gay Days and F&W are all on the table, naturally, along with some potentially interesting ones.
Just a note: Gay Days are operated neither by WDW or Uni. It's a local convention at an off-site hotel and they simply show up at the parks at self-designated days. They and other 3rd party LGTB organizations also rent the parks after hours for supplementary events.
Any 3rd party organization can do this. You could have Redhead Days or Kiwanis Days or Green Party Days.

Indeed. Uni is exploring an official event. Disney really should have beaten them to the punch by now

I was joking.
Still, with as big as WDW is, there should be about 15 for the parks here. It is after all, the biggest moneymaker in the theme parks division.

And risk the outrage of a large portion of their middle America base? Wouldn't have been good business. By tacitly and quietly facilitating the Gay Days events Disney has done the right thing, at least from a business and PR perspective.
Universal may be Disney's competitor, but they are not "Disney", and can make far more potentially provocative or divisive moves without risking their brand. Just like Horror Nights, what makes sense for Universal doesn't necessarily make sense for Disney.

Maybe 20 years ago. We, along with our friends, families, and allies also make up a huge portion of Disney's base. We also make up a significant portion of Disney's workforce. Those who would actually boycott over something like that would not hurt business enough to make a difference and standing up to them would further endear the company to many.
