Marvel is coming to Disneyland with rides and a brewery

[mongeese]

Something to look forward to: Disneyland California’s $1 billion Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge expansion has barely opened, yet this past week visitors have noticed a new section of the park fenced off by “Stark Industries.” According to an initial building permit, Disney is planning another large expansion to capitalize on the success of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

While the first permit only covers a light $14 million renovation, it includes enough details to wet your tongue. That’s right, Disneyland is getting a Marvel themed microbrewery which we’re hoping has something to do with Thor, in addition to a meet and greet area, and a 2,071 sq ft shop (that’s larger than an average house, by the way). They’ll sell stuff related to movies and comics. Disney has also hinted towards an interactive Spiderman ride, and no doubt there’ll be something relating to Iron Man following his prominent role in Endgame.

If you’re worried that the expansion will be replacing something cool, you can put your mind to rest – it’s taking over A Bug’s Life area, a 21-year old Pixar film that grossed just 13% of Endgame’s $2.7 billion. Endgame is only 2% behind Avatar thus far and is positioned to become the world’s highest grossing film in a few weeks. Disney produced six of the ten highest grossing films, which has no doubt allowed them to fund this largely unprecedented expansion.

Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge was one of the largest theme park expansions to date, and although the hype suggests it will pay off, planning more is pretty wild. “It’s the right cross and then an uppercut that knocks the market out,” Dennis Speigel, a market analyst, told the LA Times. “Marvel has never been hotter than what it is right now and they’ve got to squeeze as much as they can.”

Disneyland California is just the latest to receive the Marvel treatment, as Walt Disney Studios Park in Paris will open their Marvel expansion in 2020, Disneyland Florida will open theirs in 2021 and Disneyland Hong Kong launches theirs in 2023. It may be a couple of years until California’s expansion is ready, but we’ll likely find out more at Disney’s D23 event on August 23.

You know, both Disneyland and Disneyworld have become SOOOO ungodly expensive I just don't see how anyone, especially a family of 4 or so, can afford it. Yet, they continue to survive. I guess that says a lot about each families priorities, eh?

I know, right? Speaking only for myself, I don't think it's worth it anymore. They sometimes run specials but they're not enough to entice me.

My mother in law paid for a family trip to Disneyworld last year and after much enticement I finally agreed, it was so packed and overly scheduled I didn't even enjoy it. Blaring music at all hours, horrendously long lines. Always running somewhere to catch a reserved dinner or fast-pass and feeling like an entitled jerk zipping past all the poor people standing in line baking in the sun. Not to mention $10 for a 12oz domestic draft in a cheap plastic cup, with the bar tender expecting a good tip is egregious.

It was not my kind of vacation, I wish I could have paid off half my mortgage with what she spent. Still some people just love that place, I don't get it.

You should have gone to Disneyland instead. It is a completely different experience compared to World. Disney World does have a lot to offer but it has also become overwhelmingly popular, thus if you don't have everything planned and scheduled you will lose out. Disneyland is a whole lot more laid back experience where you don't really need to plan. Heck, when I was there last we had reservations at a restaurant and while waiting to be seated I over heard a guy talking to the host saying that he had a party of 16 and they said they could seat them. That would never happen in World.
