@Chris- Actually they should not have to pay Square Enix anything, Disney owns everything original or Disney based in the Kingdom Hearts franchise, Sora, Riku, Kairi, keyblades, Organization XIII, etc... Disney basically lets SE have free reign when it comes to the KH games but Disney owns everything that isn't from Final Fantasy or The World Ends With You. They have the right to use whatever they want to, but from what I understand they've kind of avoided doing that too much as to not jeopardize their relationship with Square Enix (like if Disney overused the KH brand too much, SE could choose to stop making the games, etc...) but I think a few things, like a Sora figure, a couple costumes and some toy box items in Disney Infinity this late in the KH series' life wouldn't step on any toes.
