Hi all!
I wouldn't be too worried about it. As has been pointed out, Disney does tend to leave a good property alone. Besides, this is hardly the first time Disney has bought out another company. They bought Capitol Cities/ABC/ESPN back in 1995, Fox Family (And with it Saban) in 2001, the Muppets in 2004, and Pixar in 2005. With how many of those have you been horrified with the results? Heck, with most of them, you probably never even noticed a change. Marvel will probably be the same.
Okay, we'll probably see some Marvel characters turn up in some of the Disney parks at some point, but they will likely integrate them fairly well. They've done this already with Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Pixar characters, and even a little with the Power Rangers, so it's not like they don't have experience in that area.
So, really, in the grand scheme of things, I don't see what the big deal is.
Of far more interest to the subject of this list, I do wonder what, if any, effect this will have on the agreement made between Takara-Tomy and Marvel Entertainment to create animated productions using both Marvel characters and Tatsunoko characters like Gatchaman and Yatterman. Will these still go forward as planned, or will this end up cancelling that deal? If they are made, does that mean we might see Tatsunoko characters appearing along with Marvel characters in Disney parks? This could be interesting...

Sums up my thoughts exactly. I'm surprised how many people are joking and fearing Marvel comics getting censored all of a sudden.
As far as licensing deals, it's been said that current deals in the works will stay on track, but that's been for movies and video games. And hearing from Greg Weisman, it seems the TV rights for Spiderman have reverted from Sony back to Marvel (movie rights are still Sony).
As far as upcoming movie go, there's been discussion that Disney influence may affect upcoming adaptations (No let's not spend 150 million on this series; How about we make this more PG than PG-13)
Marvel stuff at Disneyland would be cool for sure!
