I Am Shocked (and Grateful) That Disney Let These 2 Characters Into a Park

The two unlikely friends have teamed up to bring us one fantastic movie. The new chapter of Deadpool hit theaters on July 26th as the first time both characters have been part of Disney since Disney purchased 20th Century Fox. Both of these guys are unlikely Disney characters as they’re, ah, rough around the edges, and you might not expect to see them in any Disney park soon. However, that’s EXACTLY where we found both Deadpool and Wolverine — Disney California Adventure (and boy, was it worth it)!

Over in Disneyland Resort at Disney California Adventure, Disney has introduced a new, limited-time show: ‘Story Time with Deadpool’. At first thought, you may wonder if this R-rated character would be a good choice for story time in a kid-friendly Disney park, and we were right there with you wondering the same thing.

When this new show was announced, Disney stated, “From his favorite cozy reading chair, guests can join Deadpool as he reads from his big book of super special stories. These family-friendly tales delight, charm, and inspire in the way only Deadpool can. And keep an eye out for Wolverine who may be dropping by ‘Story Time with Deadpool.'” And sure enough, we got to hear these stories from Wade Wilson himself!

We were thoroughly impressed by Deadpool and this 12-minute show, as we should have assumed we would be. There were lots of Marvel and Disney jokes, but the whole thing was kid-friendly just like Disney promised. It was pretty funny and entertaining, and we were excited to see that Wolverine did make an appearance!

Wolverine came out too!

The area was crowded, as lots of people hoped to hear these stories. While the show lasted less than 15 minutes, we would recommend getting there 45 minutes to an hour early to grab a good spot. Those at the front of the audience were asked to take seats around 10 minutes before show time. If you’re fine with standing in the back, then getting there 15 minutes early is perfectly fine.

There were a lot of people there!

Since Story Time with Deadpool is a show, you aren’t able to meet Deadpool and Wolverine during it. They did show up in Avengers Campus about an hour later where you could see them again a little more up close.

The two characters may be found roaming around Avengers Campus for a limited time, so if these are your two favorite Marvel characters, head to Disney California Adventure soon! You may be able to meet them or see them in their show.
