Disney kid flicks will come out exclusively on BluRay (and not on DVD)
only AFTER BluRay has won the format war AND after the gigantic
consumer base of DVD viewers has moved to BluRay. At that point, the
parents will already have the bluray player. HOWEVER, you can bet that
if the consumer base moves to HD-DVD and ignores BluRay, that Disney
will start to back that format.
