Disney Corp is the ultimate arrogant celebrity. As much as we all love the Disney characters, the corporation takes way too much advantage of its fans. Granted it's a business and should be entitled to use market forces to build its empire, but where's the compassion that gives a decent break to all the little people that got you to that pedestal?

I hear that Disneyland just raised it's daily admission prices to something like $80/day...I'm guessing that a lot is because people just keep flooding through its gates, and now that the U.S. dollar is low in the international market, more people will be coming to the U.S. so I guess Disney decided to capitalize and raise it's prices to match international market demand (rather than national demand) knowing that the surrounding prices will still be quite reasonable to the foreigners coming into town.

But all that said, the article (as presented) does not say that Mickey is going into the public domain. However, if he does it will be interesting to see IF there is any impact on Disney Corp.
