The deal for Disney to acquire Marvel has not yet gone through; they are hoping it will be completed by the end of 2009 or early 2010. What Disney may do with the Marvel characters can only be determined at that time, although currently Disney's XD channel (formerly Toon Disney) shows a number of Marvel shows, such as X-Men Evolution and Spiderman. Disney also owns the rights to Batman: The Animated Series, which is a DC Comics property (rival of Marvel). I would assume that Disney Theme Parks will start to have Marvel rides and characters. Perhaps Hulk Mountain or something.
Walt Disney Co completed its merger with Marvel on Dec 30, 2009. Marvel's stock was removed from the New York Stock Exchange on January 11, 2010.

Technically, Spider Man is a comic book super hero, belonging to the Marvel comics. But since the Disney company bought out Marvel last year, that would mean that Disney now owns Spider Man.

Stan Lee didn't sell Marvel Comics himself; Marvel Entertainment, the parent company of Marvel Comics, was sold to The Walt Disney Company in 2009. The sale was primarily driven by financial reasons and the opportunity for Disney to acquire a wide range of popular characters for their media empire.
