Speaking of Disney and lawsuits:

I used to do the ordering for a store that sold parties supplies and balloons and cards and so on. They are generally licensed, and the wholesale cost is double what it is for regular stuff. It doesn't matter, though, because the markup is huge anyway. When you're paying 40 cents for a balloon that you will sell for $4, it's still a big profit, even though, without Mickey et al, you only pay 20 cents. The biggest cost is not in the balloon; it's in the labour for the person filling it with helium and tying the ribbon on it.
