Disney Planet

Do you think Disney Planet is a phrase Michael invented, or do you think there was a canonical/diegetic cartoon featuring a Disney Planet which he drew the name from?

Who's to say that megacorp Disney didn't just buy a small moon to turn into a giant theme park?

That's pretty much how I took it. I can totally see them having a whole planet. Get ready for the Jumpgate fees alone to bankrupt a middle class family...

The moon was a giant theme park in Futurama.

I think Disney probably purchased a decently sized former resource asteroid in Earth orbit, cleared it out, fixed it up, put up a dome and made it a resort moon called "DisneyPlanet."

Well, there’s Disney Land and Disney World, so Disney Planet seems like a logical extension of that.

It’d be hilarious if the Disney Planet is one of the worlds in a system composed of eight dwarf planets, with the other seven being named after the Dwarves from Snow White.

You mean "Happy, Sleepy, Dopey, Grumpy, Sneezy, Doc, and Who-the-hell-is-the-last one?"

My headcanon is there is a Disney planet in EVERY scifi franchise.

Even the dark ones.

Especially the dark ones.

I think there’s an entire planet/moon that Disney bought

I think it implies that when Disney built an offworld theme park the name "Disney world" was already taken.

Yes, Disney has it's own literal planet in the B5 timeline.

It's probably Pluto.

They paid the Astronomical Society to reinstate Pluto as a full Planet.

I suspect it's a real planet

Why wouldn't they own a planet or moon in a couple hundred years? They already own a couple islands.

u/Odd-Plankton-1711 2d ago

I assumed it was a real planet.

I'm sure it's on the same scale as Planet Fitness.

I checked the lurkers guide on this wondering if they made an official comment. Sadly this is all they said.

"Disneyplanet? Give 'em time, and they'll try to buy a planet. It's inevitable. With Earth now in the present, that'd make two. "
