Is Disney setting up a shared universe?

Disney has hit a goldmine with their live action versions of Alice in Wonderland, Cinderella, Jungle book, and It's new retelling of Sleeping Beauty's baddie Maleficent, and with Beauty and the Beast coming out real soon, It's time to ponder on a question these live action Disney movies. Is Disney creating it's own shared universe among it's live action films similarly to what it created for the Marvel Cinematic Universe? Beauty and the Beast isn't the last live action revival we're going to be seeing soon. Next year, we're going to get Mulan, and Disney has already greenlit live action versions of Dumbo, Snow White, Aladdin, The Little Mermaid, Pinocchio, Winnie The Pooh, Peter Pan & it's Tinkerbell spinoff, The Sword in the Stone, A Cruella De Vil origin story, and The Lion King, with James Earl Jones reprising his role as Mufasa. With so many live action Disney movies coming out, you can't help but wonder if they all exist in the same live action universe. But what does it all mean, though? Are these characters ever going to meet each other? Will we see Cinderella cameo in Beauty and the Beast. Geographically speaking, both stories do take place in France. And what about The Lion King? Are Baloo and Bagheera going to show up at Simba's birth? Wouldn't it be cool to see Maleficent hash it out with the live action Evil Queen to see who's the fiercest Fairy Tale mistress of darkness? I envision these characters will probably meet each other at some point in the future, but probably in a small scale. Think Rapunzel and Eugene at the beginning of Frozen. As much as we'd love to see live action Disney Princesses interacting with one another, the chances of one big Avengers-esque team up seems very unlikely. But since Disney has already created so many live action renditions of it's classic stories, they might as well have fun with it.
