Within the segment, Disney also engages in movie and television production and distribution, with content licensed to movie theaters, other content providers, or, increasingly, kept in-house for use on Disney's own streaming platform and television networks. The sports segment houses the ESPN family of TV networks and streaming services. Experiences contains Disney's theme parks, cruises, and vacation destinations and also engages in merchandise licensing.
