Disney and Marvel?

The announcement of Disney buying over Marvel surfaced recently. The article can be found here at IGN. Main point of interest as quoted: In a deal that combines two of entertainment's most popular brands, The Walt Disney Company announced its agreement to acquire Marvel Entertainment and its over 5000 characters in a stock and cash transaction. Marvel shareholders will receive $30 and 0.745 Disney shares for each share of stock they own. This brings the total price per share to approximately $50, making the total value of the deal around $4 billion.

Right.....so now am I expecting to see Spiderman swinging around in Disneyland? Or watch all the X-Men characters get involved in some gay-ish High School Musical concert? This is the end of Marvel seriously.
