1. Disney to invest $60 billion in theme parks
The Walt Disney Co. said in a security filing Tuesday that it planned to spend $60 billion over the next decade to expand its theme parks and continue building its Disney Cruise Line. That would be roughly twice as much as the company spent on its domestic and international parks in the last decade, which was considered a period of heavy investment. Disney CEO Robert Iger last month called the parks division "a key growth engine" for the entertainment giant. Disney's theme parks are expected to generate about $10 billion in profit this year, compared to $2.2 billion a decade ago, according to The New York Times. The New York Times
