To Disney or Not To Disney

Is Disney opening up in Bahrain? It totally depends which headlines you read. They're running about 50/50--the world's eighth richest man, Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, reckons he's going to invest in a new Disney Bahrain, while the Walt Disney Company says they're not even talking about it.

In fact, the Prince has already gotten involved with Disney, owning a stake in Paris's Euro Disney. The story has gone far enough to suggest that the park would cover 16 million square meters and will open in 2013: but Disney hasn't even started talking about it yet. Right.
