Variety: Disney to buy Marvel for $4 billion CNBCTV: Disney CEO on Marvel Entertainment Acquisition CBR: Industry Reactions to Disney/Marvel News THR: Analysts marvel at Disney's premium purchase CartoonBrew: Artists bless the Disney-Marvel Marriage Reuters: Stan Lee gives Disney-Marvel his blessing Variety: Disney's 'Wizards' casts spell over ratings NYTimes: Disney Offers Up a Clean, White Space Variety: Extension for 'Mary Poppins' CartoonBrew: Review of the Documentary Walt and El Grupo OrSen: Disney acquiring Marvel Entertainment Inc. Variety: Disney unlikely to rescue 'Spider-Man' the Musical Variety: Disney takes 'Xtreme' measures CinemaBlend: Barrymore and Perabo Not Returning for Chihuahua Sequel The deal sees Disney gaining Marvel's more than 5,000 characters. Ike Perlmutter, Marvel's chief executive officer, as well as its current creative team, will continue to oversee the properties, working directly with Disney executives and business lines. The deal will create an even bigger global licensing juggernaut that will have almost $36 billion in combined sales of licensed merchandise, according to the exclusive License! Global ranking of the Top 100 licensors. Disney Consumer Products was ranked No. 1 with $30 billion in retail sales of licensed products and Marvel was ranked No. 4 with $5.7 billion in retail sales of licensed products. In July, License! Global analyzed Marvel's corporate and licensing strategies in an exclusive cover story, headlined "Hero Worship," and spotlighting Simon Philips, Sandrine de Raspide, Paul Gitter (and Iron Man) as its cover photo. "This transaction combines Marvel's strong global brand and world-renowned library of characters including Iron Man, Spider-Man, X-Men, Captain America, Fantastic Four and Thor with Disney's creative skills, unparalleled global portfolio of entertainment properties, and a business structure that maximizes the value of creative properties across multiple platforms and territories," says Robert A. Iger, president and chief executive officer of The Walt Disney Company. "Ike Perlmutter and his team have done an impressive job of nurturing these properties and have created significant value. We are pleased to bring this talent and these great assets to Disney." Marvel's existing third-party licensing and distribution deals will remain in place. When the deals expire, Disney says they will consider bringing projects in-house or seek out other third parties. "Disney is the perfect home for Marvel's fantastic library of characters given its proven ability to expand content creation and licensing businesses," says Perlmutter. "This is an unparalleled opportunity for Marvel to build upon its vibrant brand and character properties by accessing Disney's tremendous global organization and infrastructure around the world." Under the terms of the agreement and based on the closing price of Disney on Aug. 28, 2009, Marvel shareholders would receive a total of $30 per share in cash plus approximately 0.745 Disney shares for each Marvel share they own. License! Global Insight: This deal will offer Disney Consumer Products the opportunity to broaden its portfolio beyond its core kids, girls and tween segments and into blockbuster family entertainment driven by the popular superhero characters. Conversely, Marvel will be able to leverage DCP's strong global retail relationships and company-driven infrastructure in most countries versus Marvel's use of agents. Disney Consumer Products will be able to help grow Marvel's international licensing business. In addition, the deal will enable other company strengths to be leveraged in television, publishing, interactive and gaming, live events and theme parks. Therefore, consumers can expect to see more Marvel content on Disney XD, more publishing efforts, video games, and events and attractions based on Marvel's extensive portfolio of characters. Furthermore, Marvel will benefit from Disney's leadership in technology, particularly Pixar, which Disney acquired three years ago.

More Info How to make a 50's Prime Time Cafe Peanut Butter and Jelly Shake From Walt Disney World Publicity... In a Disney park about Aerosmith-inspired coaster thrills, elevators freefalling through a haunted hotel and careening stunt cars flying through infernos, sometimes it’s the old-fashioned pleasures that bring smiles to faces. At the nostalgic 50’s Prime Time Café, where Disney’s Hollywood Studios guests are reminded to clean their plates and keep their elbows off the table, one unique menu item has been as much a restaurant fixture as Lucy reruns. “Some people come just to get the peanut butter and jelly milk shake,” says Disney cast member David Mitchell, who has served up his share of the cooling, tastebuds-caressing treat. For guests it’s a trip down memory lane at the end of a straw – only the old peanut butter and jelly sandwiches mom made were never this yummy. It all happened quite by accident, recalled one member of the food and beverage team that launched 50’s Prime Time with the opening of the park in 1989. Their charge: working with consultants, come up with a 1950s-inspired menu. “We had a swirled jelly and peanut butter product we used on the sandwiches,” he remembers. “We were experimenting with milk shakes in the kitchen and wondered what would happen if we dropped in a spoonful and blended it with ice cream.” With a few refinements, the signature peanut butter and jelly shake was born. PB&J anchors a line of shakes that includes pumpkin spice for Halloween, peppermint for the holidays and tried-and-true vanilla, chocolate and strawberry. The restaurant also prides itself as the only place on Disney property that dishes up campfire-style s’mores, a Graham cracker crowned by chocolate and toasted marshmallows. 50’s Prime Time Café Peanut Butter and Jelly Milkshake Ingredients: 4 ounce Peanut Butter 4 Ounce Grape Jelly 72 Ounces Vanilla Ice Cream 8 Ounces Milk 8 Ounces Pure Vanilla Extract Place flavoring in blender. Add milk. Add ice cream. Blend until smooth and thick. Pour into your favorite glass.

More Info Changes to Remember ... Dreams Come True According to The Original D blog, there have been changes to Disneyland's Remember ... Dreams Come True fireworks show with its Spring Break return. An excerpt... The cuts seen tonight included the removal of the portion of "Remember" between the Shenandoah song and the "So, you're looking for a laughin' place eh?" line of dialogue that leads into the Fantasyland-themed portion of the show. A total of about 50 seconds of the show has been removed, including a tribute to Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, and the Frontierland Shooting Gallery.

Disneyland Resort has always welcomed Guest feedback. It helps us to measure our success, evaluate our operations, and reinforce our goal to provide a quality Guest experience. In July, we implemented a change to our Guest comments process by eliminating Guest comment cards at City Hall at Disneyland and Guest Relations and Disney's California Adventure. Unfortunately, incorrect information surrounding this change has circulated with a message that Disneyland no longer accepts Guest comments - -and this is just plain wrong. The Disneyland Resort always has and will continue to value Guest feedback. Instead of requiring Guests to complete comment forms as we had in the past, now we have assigned Cast Members to talk with Guests one on one, and provide each Guest with individual attention in an effort to resolve concerns or issues immediately before the Guest leaves the Resort. While we would prefer to assist our Guests with any concerns on the day of their visit, Guests are welcome to write to us, in which case our Guest Relations Cast Members can provide a Disneyland Resort mailing address. Directing correspondence to our Guest Communications department ensures that all written comments are received, logged and responded to efficiently. We will handle Guest letters in the same manner as we have for years before this policy change: we will process any incoming compliments or concerns, notify the appropriate area’s management team, and send a personalized response to the Guest. Guest feedback received since implementing this new procedure has been overwhelmingly positive. We invite Guests to visit City Hall in Disneyland Park or the Guest Relations Lobby in Disney’s California Adventure Park on their next Resort visit and allow our friendly and knowledgeable Cast Members to provide them with the excellent service our Guests have come to expect from the “Happiest Place on Earth.” Sincerely, Britt Holmberg Manager, Guest Communications Headlines OrlSen: Downtown Disney Portobello Yacht Club Changing Name The Portobello Yacht Club at Downtown Disney will close from September 27 to October 12 as it is transformed to resemble an Italian trattoria.

Adventures in Delicious Dating After 40 - http://datinggoddess.wordpress.com Both The Hollywood Reporter & Yahoo! News are reporting Pirates of the Caribbean gamers can visit Disney theme parks and download exclusive content on to their portable Nintendo DS systems: ANAHEIM, California (Hollywood Reporter) - Disney Interactive Studios is letting amusement park customers pillage a little extra content for its latest "Pirates of the Caribbean" game. The division showcased its first collaboration with Disney Parks and Resorts at Disneyland on Saturday, hours before the world premiere of "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End" took place in the amusement park. Beginning on Friday at both Disneyland and Walt Disney World in Orlando, consumers who bring their Nintendo DS and "At World's End" game to the Pirates of the Caribbean ride will be able to seek out 10 secured wireless hot spots to download free exclusive game content that won't be available anywhere else.! The gaming stations will be marked with a Pirates "X" at different areas through Labor Day at both parks. The new Nintendo DS game -- which will also be sold at both Disney parks, along with other versions of the "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End" games -- follows the exploits of the third movie and features such characters as Captain Jack Sparrow, Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann. There will be three different downloads available around the theme park ride, including one that gamers can access while standing in line for the Pirates ride that inspired the films and games. Players will be able to unlock bonus items such as unlimited health, new costumes for the three stars of the game and new weapons, characters and locations for the online dueling mode of the title. A new area of Disneyland's Frontierland opens Friday called Pirates Lair, which previously was Tom Sawyer Island. The new attraction has been designed by! Disney Imagineers to incorporate a pirate's life into a l! ive-acti on show that was choreographed by Tony Angelotti, a stunt man in the three films. Disney Interactive Studios, which provided the software and download stations for the Nintendo DS hot spots, worked with the Imagineers to hide X's throughout this new area for gamers to find, as well as in other sections around the original ride. http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20070521/media_nm/be_media_pirates_dc;_ylt=AlbYYDimS0CfnRsCtfsyB_9xFb8C Product Listing: http://masterreplicas.com/store/potc/potc/8803 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Speaking of Pirates of the Caribbean 3, a bunch of new stills from the film have just popped up on Dark Horizons here. About Pirates 3: In the follow-up to the record-breaking smash 2006 hit Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, we find our heroes Will Turner (Orlando Bloom), Elizabeth Swann (Keira K! nightley) allied with Captain Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush) in a desperate quest to free Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) from his mind-bending trap in Davy Jones' locker – while the terrifying ghost ship, The Flying Dutchman and Davy Jones, under the control of the East India Trading Company, wreaks havoc across the Seven Seas. Navigating through treachery, betrayal and wild waters, they must forge their way to exotic Singapore and confront the cunning Chinese Pirate Sao Feng (Chow Yun-Fat). Now headed beyond the very ends of the earth, each must ultimately choose a side in a final, titanic battle – as not only their lives and fortunes, but the entire future of the freedom-loving Pirate way, hangs in the balance. http://www.darkhorizons.com/2007/piratesofthecaribbean3.php Product Listing: http://masterreplicas.com/store/potc/potc/8803 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Also over at Dark Horizons, Johnny Depp reiterates his comments about wantin! g to appear in further sea-faring adventures in this article. The site also managed to score an interview with At World's End star Bill Nighy: Bill Nighy has played many a diverse character on stage and screen. The softly spoken British actor, neatly attired in suit and tie spending the day doing press for the new Pirates movie, admits that after all these years, he had no idea what he was getting into when approached to play a CGI version of the infamous Davy Jones, "in terms of the technological side of things, but I was never in any doubt about the script,"Nighy says, as we chat in a Beverly Hills hotel room. "I was certainly very encouraged having met Gore Verbinski, having seen the first movie, Johnny's performance particularly, and being a part of all that. I like the whole idea of pirates and have always kind of liked that stuff," Nighy says, smilingly. The actor then pauses, a dry! grin settles over him before conceding that " "when I got to wear my computer pyjamas with white bobbles all over for the first time, that's perhaps when there was a slight doubt that crept into my mind. I then thought 'Are you insane?' " That insanity was due, in part, to this classically trained British actor not quite understanding the process. "But once I got into it and Gore and I started to kind of tune the performance, it turned into good fun, because you were allowed to get away with stuff that you wouldn't normally," says the actor. Nighy says that playing Davy Jones "was a level of performance where perhaps you wouldn't normally be sort of encouraged to investigate. The first one was very scary, because nobody knew what it was going to look like, and they didn't know if it was going to work, whether it would be a successful creature, or whether it would be integrated into the movie properly in a te! chnical way. When we had seen it, and it was so successfully i! ntegrate d, obviously a world class iconic kind of creature, and so well received, we were emboldened coming into the third movie."
