Dream Vacation

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Kissimmee Tourism. All opinions are 100% mine.


Ever since I was a kid I always dreamed of going to Disney World. I never thought that it could be possible, but dreams do come true when you least expect it. I am residing in the states now in Mississippi to be exact. The dream of going to Disney World is now within my reach because Florida is just four hour drive from our house. We planned going there before as our anniversary getaway, but I got pregnant and we didn't push through the vacation. This time, I already gave birth and our daughter is now eight months old and making the trip there is now very possible. We have no definite dates yet, but we plan on going there next year. That way the baby is already one year and could appreciate more on what surrounds her. Next to Disney World, I also wanted to visit Kissimmee too, which is the heart of Florida. I have heard so much about this place and very curious on what Kissimmee could bring on our vacation. It helped when I visited their website as to what we will expect to do when you get there. I definitely want to try the zip lining, airboat rides and horseback riding. I can really say that Kissimmee Florida is one of a kind destination with awesome vacation packages for the family and for all ages.

The Disney-Marvel deal: What happens to the games?

Disney says they will re-evaluate Marvel's bevy of video game deals with publishers as they move closer to expiration, representatives from the company said in a conference call. The call was part of Disney's announced acquistion of the giant comic book publisher for $4 billion. The deal would give Disney rights to all of Marvel's characters, including Spider-Man, Iron Man and The Incredible Hulk. Bob Iger, Disney's president and CEO, sized up Marvel's game deals as "smart licensing agreements with some of the best video game manufacturers in the business. Among the publishers currently working with Marvel: Activision (Marvel Ultimate Alliance, Spider-Man), Sega (Iron-Man, Incredible Hulk), THQ (Marvel Super Hero Squad and Gazillion Entertainment (Marvel Universe). Disney says they won't rule out a mixed games portfolio consisting of Marvel titles licensed to other publishers and in-house creations. Known mostly for creating titles based on the Disney stable of characters, the company's Disney Interactive studio has begun branching out to a broader audience with the release of off-road racer Pure and the Burnout-inspired driving game Split-Second, arriving next year. As Marvel's current deals near expiration, Iger says the Marvel acquisition gives Disney "the luxury of at that time considering what's best for the company from a financial perspective, from a quality perspective and an exposure perspective." Activision's arrangement with Marvel ends in 2017. Both the Sega and THQ partnerships have been described as multi-year. According to a Wall Street Journal report, Marvel's 2009 deal with Gazillion on a series massively multiplayer online games is for 10 years.
