    How many years before Disney, Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, Facebook and Google merge into one gargantuan company?

    Disney is set to dominate Netflix
    Business Insider, Mar 12 2018 10:42 AM

    Disney has all the means to become the "world's leading content company," writes RBC Capital Markets analyst Steven Cahall in a note to investors. The company could spend $30 billion annually on video-streaming content, far outspending Netflix, which plans to spend $8 billion on content this year. Cahall boosted Disney's price target to $135 per share, roughly 30% above its current share level.

    Oooh, looky what I found in a Looper.com story about disturbing scenes in Disney movies:

    1-800-SPANK-ME

    The Santa Clause included a reference to an actual sex hotline. In the film, Tim Allen's Scott Calvin was given a phone number with which he could reach his ex-wife during his Christmas visit with their son, and he joked, "1-800-SPANK-ME? I know that number."

    Little did Disney realize the number was actually an operative sex hotline which charged callers by the minute. Several children reportedly dialed in and racked up some huge phone bills as a result of their curiosity. The dialogue was later cut from DVD releases for the movie and changed to "1-800-POUND" in television airings of the same. Disney didn't recall the original VHS tapes because, they said, it "would actually do more harm than good" and "draw more attention to the matter."

    Walt Disney's dreams and influences are gradually disappearing from the Disney parks and being replaced by the dreams and influences of Stan Lee, George Lucas, Steven Spielberg and John Lasseter. Sad.

    Expansion featuring Marvel superheros to open at Disney California Adventure in 2020
    Los Angeles Times, Mar 20 2018 7:50 PM

    Only a year after a new Star Wars land opens at Disneyland, guests at the neighboring California Adventure Park will be able to visit another expansion, featuring Marvel superheroes. Disney officials had previously announced plans to build an expansion at California Adventure Park, based on the Marvel characters and located near the Marvel superhero attraction, Guardians of the Galaxy: Mission Breakout, which was overhauled in May. But Disney officials have been tight-lipped about any more details, except to say in a news release today that the project will open in 2020. No other information was offered, including the size, cost or number of attractions. Disney has also announced similar Marvel expansions for its parks in Paris and Hong Kong. Disney purchased Marvel Entertainment in 2009 for $4 billion.

    Robert Iger is probably (a) angry, (b) upset, and (c) getting out his checkbook and wondering how many billions of dollars a deal with Comcast will cost him.

    Why Marvel Super Hero Land isn't coming to Walt Disney World
    The Motley Fool, Mar 24 2018

    The Walt Disney Company last week painted a glorious picture of the future, teasing how super heroes from Marvel's expanding universe will jump out of the comic books and into select theme parks worldwide in the coming years. Disneyland Paris, Hong Kong Disneyland and Disney's California Adventure will all be getting a major infusion of Spider-Man, Iron Man and Captain America.

    Absent from the tantalizing announcement was Walt Disney World, Disney's largest theme park resort. Marvel's marquee characters would look great in Florida but that can't legally happen. Nearly two decades ago, Comcast signed territorial rights covering most of Marvel's best-known characters for the use in theme parks in the US east of the Mississippi River ahead of the opening of Universal Orlando's Islands of Adventure. In an ideal world, Disney would strike a deal with Comcast to win back those regional theme park rights.

    Here is the latest Disney news. It's not good Disney news, though. At least not good for Disney.

    The debut of ESPN+ will delight all the rabid sports fans who think the 20 ESPN channels on television aren't nearly enough.

    Bao, which opens with The Incredibles 2 on June 15, is about a soup dumpling that comes to life. (Don't ask.) And when you think about it, isn't "dumpling" a really horrible name for a lump of boiled unleavened dough?

    Bao, Pixar's first short directed by a woman, is the story of a Chinese dumpling

    The thief probably had no idea what was in the trailer. He probably just thought stealing a trailer would be a California adventure.

    Someone stole a trailer full of 8,000 Disney California Adventure tickets
    Los Angeles Times, Apr 19 2018 9:45 AM

    A Disney trip for 6,500 high school students was thrown into turmoil Wednesday when a trailer loaded with Disney California Adventure tickets was stolen from a Central Valley parking lot. The trailer was set to travel from the office of the California Future Farmers of America Foundation, in Galt, to Anaheim, where the 90th annual California FFA leadership conference is taking place next week. The four-day event for high school students includes job skills training, agricultural visits and a private event for attendees at Disney's California Adventure theme park.

    The foundation's surveillance camera captured a man entering the group's parking lot at 3:10 AM Wednesday. He cut the lock on the trailer, attached it to his pickup truck and drove away. Disney has voided the 8,000 stolen tickets and reissued new ones for the conference.

    My prediction: "Augmented reality windows" will lead to another round of "augmented admission price increases."

    Walt Disney World's new monorails might include augmented reality windows
    Orlando Weekly, May 14 2018 10:14 AM

    Those long-rumored new monorails at Walt Disney World might be even cooler and more high-tech than anyone realized. Disney’s obsession with projection mapping and augmented reality might see some real-world application on the new monorails.

    In recent episodes of his Disney news podcast The Disney Dish, Disney historian and industry insider Jim Hill has been working with Touring Plans founder and statistical genius Len Testa to uncover a highly confidential plan within Disney to develop augmented reality windows for transit systems. The technology piggybacks on recent patents by Disney, including a fascinating one that uses projection mapping within hotel rooms.

    Hill and Testa initially reported that the system would be used within the rumored self-driving cars that are expected to begin being used at Walt Disney World within the next few months. But in their most recent episode, Testa says a "Disney insider" claims the technology will instead be used on the monorails. He gives an example: When the monorail passes Spaceship Earth, the Epcot structure could be transformed into the Death Star from Star Wars with X-Wing fighters flying around it. If rumors are correct, the new monorail trains should be announced within the next two years, with the first of the fleet operational by the WDW 50th Anniversary in 2021.
