The Walt Disney Company 2005 Annual Report

[TomorrowlandTyler]

Today I recieved my Disney 2005 Annual Report and thought I'd share some interesting things:

1st, the finiancial highlights (I know its big, but it has to be to read it)

$ Amounts in MILLIONS

Notice the blue graph where after September 11, 2001, the huge drop in park revenue, and where the parks have recovered and have surpassed pre-9/11 levels and continue to grow.

Also the Media Networks & Parks and Resorts are UP from 2004,
And the Studio Entertainment and Consumer Products are DOWN.

Also in his letter to Shareholders Iger says:

..."In order to thrive in this new era and to deliver long-term growth and increased shareholder value, we have established three strategic priorities: Creative Innovation, Global Expansion, & Application of Technology."...

Also included is information about Disney mobile http://www.disneymobile.com

Disney Mobile sounds interesting. Does anyone know whether they are creating their own network or are they sharing a network with one of the bigger cell companies?

Just found this on their site:
Disney Mobile Studios offers Disney ringtones, games, and graphics for a variety of mobile phones and wireless carriers.
