REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS




June 5, 1998



To the Participants and Investment and
Administrative Committee for
the Disney Salaried Savings and 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 Disney  Salaried  Savings and Investment  Plan (the Plan) at December 31,
1997 and 1996 and the changes in its net assets  available  for benefits for the
year ended December 31, 1997, in conformity with generally  accepted  accounting
principles.  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 generally accepted auditing standards which 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 the opinion  expressed
above.

Our audits  were  performed  for the  purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial  statements taken as a whole. The additional  information  included in
Schedules I, II and III is presented for purposes of additional  analysis and is
not a  required  part  of the  basic  financial  statements  but  is  additional
information  required  by ERISA.  Such  information  has been  subjected  to the
auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial  statements and,
in our opinion,  is fairly  stated in all  material  respects in relation to the
basic financial statements taken as a whole.

DISNEY SALARIED SAVINGS AND INVESTMENT PLAN

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Tabular dollars in thousands)



1.  Description of the Plan

General
The Walt Disney Company (the "Company")  implemented the Disney Salaried Savings
and  Investment  Plan (the  "Plan") on  January  1, 1985.  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").   For  further
information regarding the Plan, refer to the Summary Plan Description.

Administration of the Plan
The  Board  of  Directors  of the  Company  has  appointed  the  Investment  and
Administrative  Committee of The Walt Disney Company Sponsored Qualified Benefit
Plans  and  Key  Employees  Deferred   Compensation  and  Retirement  Plan  (the
"Committee"  or "Plan  Administrator")  to  administer  the Plan,  interpret its
provisions and resolve all issues arising in the administration of the Plan.

The assets of the Plan are  administered  under a trust  agreement  between  the
Company and Fidelity  Institutional  Retirement  Services Company ("Fidelity" or
the "Trustee"). Pursuant to the trust agreement, Fidelity is to carryout most of
the day-to-day activities of administration.

Administrative  expenses of the Plan,  such as benefit  plan  consultation  fees
(exclusive of brokerage  commissions  on the purchase or sale of Company  stock)
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 all domestic salaried employees of the
Company  and its  subsidiaries  participating  in the  Plan  who  are  regularly
scheduled to work 1,000 hours or more during a year.  To be eligible,  employees
must be age 18 or older and have  completed one year of employment  during which
they must also work at least 1,000 hours.


The Plan accepts direct cash rollovers from other qualified plans  regardless of
whether the employee has met the one-year eligibility requirement. However, such
funds are not  available  for  hardship  distributions  or loans until after the
employee  has  met  the  one-year  eligibility  requirement  and  has  become  a
participant of the Plan.

1.  Description of the Plan (continued)

Contributions
Participants are permitted to authorize  income deferrals in whole  percentages,
up to 10 percent of their base  compensation on a pre-tax basis,  through weekly
payroll  deductions.  A participant's  total tax-deferred  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,  1987,  the Plan  ceased  to  accept  voluntary  post-tax
contributions.  Post-tax  contributions made prior to January 1, 1987 may remain
in the  Plan  and  continue  to  share in the  Plan's  investment  results  on a
tax-deferred basis. Income earned on voluntary  contributions is not taxable for
Federal income tax purposes until withdrawal and such post-tax contributions are
recovered tax free when withdrawn or distributed.

The Company  currently  contributes  a matching  amount equal to 50 percent of a
participant's  pre-tax  contributions  up to a  maximum  of 2  percent  of  such
participant's  base  compensation.  The Company may make matching  contributions
either in cash, which is invested  exclusively in the Company's common stock, or
directly in shares of the  Company's  common stock and, at its  discretion,  the
Company may change the level of matching  contributions or cease making matching
contributions.

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
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. Such elections must be made in 1%
increments.

Effective April 1, 1997,  three funds were eliminated from the Plan and five new
funds were added to the Plan.  Additionally,  the  valuation  of The Walt Disney
Company  Stock Fund was  changed  from a share basis  valuation  to a unit basis
valuation. Participants with an interest in the funds which were eliminated were
allowed to transfer  their  balances to one of the remaining  funds by March 19,
1997 or to allow their balances to be mapped automatically to the new investment
funds. As of March 20, 1997, participants with an interest in Fidelity U.S. 
Bond Index Fund had their interest transferred to the PIMCO Total Return Fund. 
Participant balances in the Fidelity Balanced Fund were mapped to the Fidelity 
Growth & Income Fund, while  participant  balances in the Fidelity U.S. Equity 
Index  Commingled Fund were mapped to the Fidelity Growth & Income Fund.

following pooled investment funds (collectively, the "Investment Funds"):

        The Walt Disney Company Common Stock Fund
        This fund consists primarily of The Walt Disney Company common stock and
        cash and  cash  equivalents  which  are  deemed  necessary  for  orderly
        investment in such stock and for anticipated cash requirements.

        government or issued by U.S. government agencies.

        Fidelity Magellan Fund

        bonds")and up to 15% may be invested in securities not readily converted
        to cash.

Investments (continued)

        Putnam New Opportunities Fund
        This fund  invests  in common  stocks of  companies  in  sectors  of the
        economy believed to posses above-average  long-term growth. The Fund may
        also  invest  in  convertible  bonds,   convertible   preferred  stocks,
        warrants, preferred stocks and debt securities.

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.
Participants' account balances under $3,500 are automatically distributed within
90 days following the participant's  severance date. The participant has 60 days
following the  participant's  severance date to elect whether or not to rollover
the funds into an IRA or another  qualified  plan.  If no election is made,  the
funds  will  be  dispersed  to the  participant  less  20  percent  for  federal
withholding tax.  Participants with account balances of $3,500 or more may elect
a distribution  at anytime  before age 65. All amounts must be distributed  when
the participant reaches age 65.


Under  Section  401(k) of the  Code,  in  service  withdrawals  of  tax-deferred
contributions by participants are available only in 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. A
participant may withdraw his or her post-tax contributions twice each Plan year.
The minimum amount of each post-tax contribution withdrawal is $500.

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 set-off.  Voluntary post-tax contributions and any earnings thereon are
not  available  for  loans.  Participants  may  borrow up to 50 percent of their
account balance not to exceed $50,000 in any consecutive  twelve month period. 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 prime plus 1 percent.

Plan Amendment or Termination
The Company  reserves the right to amend or modify,  at any time, the provisions
of the Plan. 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  account  at  the  time  of
liquidation.

Fidelity  is  the  trustee  as  defined  by  the  Plan,  and,  therefore,  these
transactions qualify as party-in-interest.  Fees paid by the Plan to the Trustee
amounted to $18,000 for the year ended December 31, 1997.


2.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

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

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial  statements in conformity  with generally  accepted
accounting principles 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.

Contribution Policy
Contributions  are recorded in the period during which the Company makes payroll
deductions from the employees|  earnings.  Matching  company  contributions  are
recorded in the same period.

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 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.

Realized Gains and Losses on Security Transactions
Realized gains and losses on security  transactions  are computed based upon the
sales  proceeds less the fair value of the  investments  at the beginning of the
year or the acquisition cost, if acquired during the year.

Unrealized Appreciation/Depreciation in Fair Value of Investments The unrealized
appreciation or  depreciation in the fair value of investments  held at year end
is based on values  established  at the most recent  year-end  valuation date as
compared to the previous  year-end  valuation or the  acquisition  cost,  if the
investment was acquired within the year.

Payment of Benefits Benefits are recorded when paid.

4.  Income Taxes

The  Company  has  received an Internal  Revenue  Service  determination  letter
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. 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 tax 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.
