I don't think the two are comparable. Each is in a different phase of development, if you will. Disney is huge, and apparently is a 'controlling' type of master. PA seems more laid back, is developing his world carefully, and seems to have faith in letting each part run itself, so far, without having to get involved in day-to-day chores.

If I remember the recent news articles correctly, Disney is buying the rest of Infoseek as a precursor to them spinning off their internet properties. Other companies (Barnes and Noble comes to mind) have done similar spinoffs. This should help Disney's stock and help them keep/hire top internet employees. I think that Disney's and PA's motivations are different.
