                               Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm



To the Participants and Plan Administrator of the ABC, Inc. Savings & Investment Plan

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits and the related statement of
changes in net assets available for benefits present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for
benefits of the ABC, Inc. Savings & Investment Plan (the "Plan") at December 31, 2003 and 2002, and the changes in
net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2003 in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's
management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.  We
conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole.
The supplemental schedules of Assets (Held at End of Year) and Delinquent Participant Contributions are presented
for the purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements but are
supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure
under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The supplemental schedules are the responsibility of the
Plan's management. The supplemental schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits
of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the
basic financial statements taken as a whole.

1.  Description of the Plan

General
The ABC, Inc. Savings & Investment Plan (the "Plan") is a defined contribution plan designed to provide
participating employees the opportunity to accumulate retirement funds through a tax-deferred contribution
arrangement pursuant to Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").  In addition
to the Code, the Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA"),
as amended. This Plan is also an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) that provides employees the opportunity to
participate in the performance, both positive and negative, of The Walt Disney Company common stock. The following
description of the Plan provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan Document for a
complete description of the Plan's provisions.

Administration of the Plan
On February 9, 1996, The Walt Disney Company acquired ABC, Inc. (the "Company") (previously called "Capital
Cities/ABC, Inc.").  The Company has appointed the Employee Benefits Committee (the "Committee" or "Plan
Administrator") to administer the Plan, interpret its provisions and resolve all issues arising in the
administration of the Plan.

The Company has appointed the Investment and Administrative Committee of The Walt Disney Company Sponsored Qualified
Benefit Plans and Key Employee Deferred Compensation and Retirement Plans as the investment committee under the
Plan.  The assets of the Plan are administered under a trust agreement between the Company and Fidelity Management
Trust Company ("Fidelity" or the "Trustee").  Pursuant to the trust agreement, Fidelity executes most of the
day-to-day activities of trust administration.

Administrative expenses of the Plan may be paid from the assets of the Plan unless the Company, at its discretion,
pays such expenses.  Investment expenses incurred by the investment funds are charged to the respective funds.

Participation
Participation in the Plan is available to eligible domestic employees of the Company and its subsidiaries
participating in the Plan.  Eligible employees must have completed one year of service.

The Plan accepts direct cash rollovers from other qualified plans or conduit IRAs regardless of whether the employee
has met the eligibility service requirement.

1.  Description of the Plan (continued)

Contributions
Participants are permitted to contribute in whole percentages, up to 20 percent of their base compensation (plus
commissions and sales bonuses) on a pre-tax basis through payroll deductions.  A participant's total pre-tax
contributions and the Company's matching contributions, in any Plan year, cannot exceed the limits provided under
Section 415 of the Code.

Effective January 1, 2002, the Plan ceased to accept voluntary post-tax contributions.  Post-tax contributions made
prior to January 1, 2002 may remain in the Plan and continue to share in the Plan's investment results on a
tax-deferred basis.  The principal amount of such post-tax contributions are recovered tax-free when withdrawn or
distributed.

The Company currently contributes a matching amount equal to 50 percent of pre-tax contributions up to the first 4
percent of compensation. The Company may change the level of matching contributions or cease making matching
contributions. The Company's matching contributions are invested exclusively in The Walt Disney Company common
stock. Participants of the Plan may transfer all or any portion of their accumulated Company matching contributions
into any of the available Plan investment funds, or any combination of funds, at any time.

Income earned on participant and Company contributions to the Plan is not taxable for federal or state income tax
purposes until withdrawn from the Plan.

Vesting
Participants are fully vested immediately in all contributions including the Company's matching contributions made
to the Plan and all earnings thereon.

Investments
Participants may direct the investment of their contributions in any one or more of the investment funds established
for the Plan.  Participants may elect to change the investment of their contributions or to transfer all or part of
their account balances among the various investment funds in increments of 1 percent.

Benefits, Distributions and Withdrawals
A participant's entire account balance, adjusted for investment gains or losses, is available for immediate
distribution upon termination of employment. Participant account balances under $5,000 are automatically distributed
within 60 days following the participant's severance date or as






                                                                 F-6

1.  Description of the Plan (continued)

Benefits, Distributions and Withdrawals (continued)
soon as possible, thereafter, unless the participant elects to rollover the distribution into an IRA or another
qualified plan.  If no election is made, the account balance will be distributed to the participant less 20 percent
for federal tax withholding.  Participants with account balances of $5,000 or more may elect a distribution at any
time following termination of employment, except all amounts are to be distributed in accordance with the minimum
required distribution provisions of the Code.

Under Section 401(k) of the Code, in-service withdrawals, up to 100% of the participant's account, are available
upon age 59½. Hardship withdrawals are limited to the amounts necessary to satisfy a financial hardship and will be
made if the Committee determines that the reason for the hardship complies with applicable requirements under the
Code and the Plan.  A participant may withdraw his or her post-tax contributions at any time.  The minimum amount of
withdrawal is $250.

Loans
Participants are permitted to borrow from their accounts subject to certain limitations and conditions established
to comply with the current requirements of the Code.  All loans made to participants are secured by their accounts
with a right of off-set. Participants may borrow up to 50 percent of their vested account balance not to exceed
$50,000 in any consecutive twelve-month period.  The minimum amount of each loan is $1,000, and a participant may
only have one loan outstanding.

Loans may have a term of up to four years.  However, the term can be extended to ten years if the loan is used to
acquire or construct a principal residence of the participant.  The interest rate on loans is currently the Bank of
America prime rate plus 1 percent.

Plan Amendment or Termination
The Company reserves the right to amend or modify the provisions of the Plan at any time and from time to time.
Although the Company expects to continue the Plan indefinitely, the Board of Directors of the Company may terminate
the Plan for any reason.  If the Plan is terminated, each participant will receive, as prescribed by ERISA and its
related regulations, and in the form and manner determined by the Committee, a payment equal to the value of the
participant's vested account balance at the time of liquidation.

Basis of Accounting
The financial statements of the Plan are prepared using the accrual basis of accounting.

2.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported
in the financial statements and accompanying disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Risks and Uncertainties
The Plan provides for various investment options in mutual funds and other securities.  Investment securities are
exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, market and credit risks.  Due to the level of risk associated with
certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in risks in the near term would
materially affect participants' account balances, the amounts reported in the Statements of Net Assets Available for
Benefits and the amounts reported in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits.

Investment Valuation and Income Recognition
Investments in securities traded on national security exchanges are valued on the basis of the closing price on the
last trading day of the year. Investments in commingled funds are valued at the redemption prices established by the
Trustee, which are based on the underlying market value of the fund assets. Participant loans are valued at cost
which approximates fair value. Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis.  Interest
income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Net Appreciation/Depreciation in Fair Value of Investments
The net appreciation or depreciation in the fair value of investments recorded  in the Statement of Changes in Net
Assets Available for Benefits consists of realized gains (losses) on sales and unrealized appreciation
(depreciation) on investments.

Payment of Benefits
Benefits are recorded when paid.

3.  Investments

During 2003, the Plan's investments (including gains and losses on investments bought and sold, as well as held
during the year) appreciated in value as follows:

     The Walt Disney Company Common Stock Fund        $    98,540
     Shares of registered investment companies             84,727

4.  Income Taxes

The Company received an Internal Revenue Service determination letter dated March 28, 1996, stating that the Plan
qualifies under Section 401(a) of the Code and is therefore exempt from Federal income tax under Section 501(a) of
the Code. The Plan has subsequently been amended and the Company has filed for an updated determination letter. The
Company believes that the Plan still qualifies under Section 401(a) of the Code. Since the Plan is qualified under
Section 401(a) of the Code, under applicable state law it is also exempt from state income taxes. The Plan
Administrator and the Plan's counsel believe that the Plan is designed and is currently being operated in compliance
with the applicable requirements of the Code. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes is made in the accompanying
financial statements.

5.  Related Party Transactions

Certain Plan investments are shares of mutual funds managed by Fidelity.  Fidelity is the trustee as defined by the
Plan, and therefore, these transactions qualify the Trustee as a party-in-interest for which a statutory exemption
exists. Fees paid by the Plan to the Trustee amounted to $79,873 for the year ended December 31, 2003. The Company
also qualifies as a party-in-interest and absorbs certain administrative expenses of the Plan. The Company paid
$6,197 of administrative expenses on behalf of the Plan for the year ended December 31, 2003. Such transactions with
the Company qualify for a statutory exemption.
