Leases [Abstract]  
Leases Leases
At the beginning of fiscal 2020, the Company adopted new lease accounting guidance issued by the FASB. The most significant change requires lessee’s to record the present value of operating lease payments as right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet. The new guidance continues to require lessees to classify leases between operating and finance leases (formerly “capital leases”).
We adopted the new guidance using the modified retrospective method at the beginning of fiscal year 2020. Reporting periods beginning after September 29, 2019 are presented under the new guidance, while prior periods continue to be reported in accordance with our historical accounting. The Company adopted the new guidance by applying practical expedients that permit us not to reassess our prior conclusions concerning whether:
•Any of our existing arrangements contain a lease;
•Our existing lease arrangements are operating or finance leases;
•To capitalize indirect costs; and
•Existing land easements are leases.
The adoption of the new guidance resulted in the recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities of approximately $3.7 billion, which were measured by the present value of the remaining minimum lease payments. In accordance with the guidance, the Company elected to exclude from the measurement of the right-of-use asset and lease liability leases with a remaining term of one year (“Short-term leases”).
The present value of the lease payments was calculated using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate applicable to the lease, which is determined by estimating what it would cost the Company to borrow a collateralized amount equal to the total lease payments over the lease term based on the contractual terms of the lease and the location of the leased asset.
At adoption, in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet we also reclassified:
•Deferred rent of approximately $0.3 billion for operating leases at the end of fiscal year 2019 from “Accounts payable and other accrued liabilities” (current portion) and “Other long-term liabilities” (non-current portion) to “Other assets” (right-of-use asset);
•A deferred sale leaseback gain of approximately $0.3 billion from “Deferred revenue and other” (current portion) and “Other long-term liabilities” (non-current portion) to “Retained earnings”; and
•Capitalized lease assets of approximately $0.2 billion from “Parks, resorts and other property” to “Other assets” related to finance leases.
Lessee Arrangements
The Company’s operating leases primarily consist of real estate and equipment, including retail outlets and distribution centers for consumer products, production facilities, content broadcast equipment and office space for general and administrative purposes. The Company also has finance leases, primarily for land and broadcast equipment.
We determine whether a new contract is a lease at contract inception or for a modified contract at the modification date. Our leases may require us to make fixed rental payments, variable lease payments based on usage or sales and fixed non-lease costs relating to the leased asset. Variable lease payments are generally not included in the measurement of the right-of-use asset and lease liability. Fixed non-lease costs, for example common-area maintenance costs, are included in the measurement of the right-of-use asset and lease liability as the Company does not separate lease and non-lease components.
Some of our leases include renewal and/or termination options. If it is reasonably certain that a renewal or termination option will be exercised, the exercise of the option is considered in calculating the term of the lease. As of December 28, 2019, our operating leases have a weighted-average remaining lease term of approximately 8 years, and our finance leases have a weighted-average remaining lease term of approximately 25 years. The weighted-average incremental borrowing rate is 2.6% and 6.6%, for our operating leases and finance leases, respectively.
Additionally, as of December 28, 2019, the Company had signed non-cancelable lease agreements with total estimated future lease payments of approximately $900 million that had not yet commenced and therefore are not included in the measurement of the right-of-use asset and lease liability.
