Thinking about it, it just may be...
The theme parks, especially WDW, have suffered for over a year now from a weak tourism market. As people get over their fear of flying, there will be a strong demand to "compensate" for vacations that were "missed" during the past year.
Those people will see the parks in the best condition they have been in since the mid-1990s, with many of the benefits that were cut re-established. There are currently a TON of refurbishments going on compared to the last few years, and blatant maintenance problems aren't as visible any more. There are also more attractions now under construction than there have been for a while, so there will be new stuff for the public to see once they "return".
As for ABC... things are looking a bit better - it seems like they are in for a solid #3 position with a comfortable lead over FOX. Not great, but a promising first step in the post-millionaire era.
The movies have been doing quite well, especially on DVD, which has managed to turn such box office flops as Atlantis and Emperor's New Groove into profitable pictures. Monsters Inc is generating tons of cash, and Lilo and Stich as well as Signs will probably do the same. Then there's the Beauty and the Beast Special Edition as well... A year ago, I recall only Pearl Harbor as having these kinds of prospects.
The two new international theme parks will generate a bit of additional revenue as well, maybe offsetting some of DCA's losses.
Disney is certainly not doing as good as it could be, but things do seem to be picking up... Whether or not that will be enough for the current management remains to be seen - it certainly didn't work that way for their predecessors back in 1984.
