So what do you think? Disney was in the running for the theme park licence and lost out to universal, what do you think Disney couldve conjured up for HP?
The only way Potter could be better is if there was more of everything.
An entire park instead of a small "land".
I don't think Disney was up for that so I don't really think they could do anything better than what Universal put together.
....Had Disney won the license, you would probably have seen, at most an E ticket attraction at DHS with an attached food establishment.
My understanding was that Disney wasn't really that interested in the IP since JK Rowling wanted complete creative control and Disney wasn't about to give it to her. :shrug:I'm really not sure. I cant imagine Disney would have been happy giving that much control to 3rd parties. Neither do I think Disney would have allowed such a budget to the section as Universal was up for. Not to detract for the feat Universal have met, but all there is is a great themed section and a ride. Two thirds of the attractions are just renamed.
Honestly does it really matter. HP is not part of Disney nor it should be. It really is a better fit for UNI. I would not like to see another Castle in any of WDW to try and rival one of my Favorite ICONS of Cinderella's Castle.

None of you people complain when Disney asserts its rights to control its properties, but as soon as a third party does it with Disney, the third party is the one in the wrong. Some of you want it both ways.
I have had heard this as well. The way it was described to me was WDI breathed a collective sigh of relief when US got the deal.My understanding was that Disney wasn't really that interested in the IP since JK Rowling wanted complete creative control and Disney wasn't about to give it to her. :shrug:
For one thing they would have covered the show building so that it isn't visible from the park. They probably also would have created the Great Hall, probably as a food court. Seeing as how that's the most iconic room in all of Hogwarts, it boggles my mind that Universal didn't create it. The video screen at the end of FJ doesn't count.
So I assume that you object to the Beast's Catle that will be part of the Fantasyland expansion.
Disney had their chance, and Rowling liked Universal's plans better. She saw Seuss Landing and felt more comfortable working with Universal. And why shouldn't she have had control? It's her property. She has every right to dictate what should or shouldn't be.
