OK I have one more...please don't flame me!
I think it was a mistake that Disney passed on the Harry Potter IP. I think it was also a mistake that they bought the Avatar IP. I haven't been to Pandora yet so I'll reserve my judgment on the new Land, but I'm not really a fan of Avatar in any respect; it boasted a huge budget and made a ton of money but the story was didactic and lame, the characters forgettable, and it generally left a bad taste in my mouth. Nothing but respect to the folks that enjoy this IP (and I know I'm REALLY in the minority) but to me it seems like a downer in a media company that built itself on uplifting themes and stories (or at least fun ones.)
By contrast, I love what they've done with Star Wars!
