Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies Legal Matters The Company, together with, in some instances, certain of its directors and officers, is a defendant in various legal actions involving copyright, breach of contract and various other claims incident to the conduct of its businesses. Management does not believe that the Company has incurred a probable material loss by reason of any of those actions. Contractual Guarantees The Company has guaranteed bond issuances by the Anaheim Public Authority that were used by the City of Anaheim to finance construction of infrastructure and a public parking facility adjacent to the Disneyland Resort. Revenues from sales, occupancy and property taxes from the Disneyland Resort and non-Disney hotels are used by the City of Anaheim to repay the bonds, which mature in 2037. In the event of a debt service shortfall, the Company will be responsible to fund the shortfall. As of July 3, 2021, the remaining debt service obligation guaranteed by the Company was $226 million. To the extent that tax revenues exceed the debt service payments subsequent to the Company funding a shortfall, the Company would be reimbursed for any previously funded shortfalls. To date, tax revenues have exceeded the debt service payments for these bonds. Multi-year Sports Rights Commitments In fiscal year 2021, we entered into new multi-year sports rights commitments for approximately $41 billion, which primarily reflects a new agreement with the National Football League and to a lesser extent, the NHL, MLB and various other rights. Payments in fiscal 2021 for these commitments are not significant. Payments in fiscal 2022, fiscal 2023, fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2025 are approximately $3.2 billion, $4.2 billion, $3.8 billion and $3.8 billion, respectively.
