Recent Change in Travel & Expense Policy
Important Change in Disney Travel Policy – Mobile Phone Reimbursement
Effective immediately thanks to a recent change in Disney’s Travel policies, individuals are
no longer required to mail or fax receipts or cover sheets to DWSS for mobile phone
expenses if the dollar amount to be reimbursed is under $50.00 USD, and the
reimbursement is for 100% business use. Simply complete an expense report, submit it for
approval and you are done! Should you still wish to save the trip cover sheet for your
records, please consider saving it as a PDF file, rather than printing it.
Individuals who have personal calls on their statement will still be required to break out
those calls using the mobile calculation worksheet, and submit the worksheet and
coversheet to DWSS even if the dollar amount is less than $50. The mobile calculation
worksheet can be found on the ESPN T&E Help page on the Hub @ ESPN T&E Help
Please contact Karen Rehberg on the ESPN SAP Site Sustainment Team @ 860 766 2348 if
you have any questions.

Walt Disney Travel and Entertainment Policy
Some policies you really NEED to know and understand…
You can find the complete Travel and Entertainment Policy by following this menu path: Disney Hub→ ESPN Tab→ SAP HELP→ T&E
Company Policy states: Personal Use of Corporate Credit Cards are strictly prohibited. Your VISA corporate card is to be used for business related travel
expenses ONLY. Employees found utilizing their Corporate Card for personal use or who do not pay their balance in full when contractually due are subject to
disciplinary action, up to and including termination.
The Company will have access to all billing records and statements of each employee’s Corporate Card account and may review those records and statements
without notice to employees. Use of the Corporate Card constitutes the employee’s consent to such access and review.
Upon resignation/termination of employment, all Corporate Card holders must:
 Cut the Corporate Card and the AT&T Calling Card in half and discard properly
 Ensure that all charges have been submitted on a SAP T&E expense report for payment
Any Corporate Card activity incurred after the last day of work will not be reimbursed. Employees are responsible for reconciling and paying their Corporate
card after termination. Expenses submitted more than 30 days after resignation/termination will not be reimbursed. Unpaid amounts over 180 days will be
reflected on the employee’s credit report and any outstanding balance will be submitted to a third party collection agency.
Mileage: The Company reimburses employees for mileage incurred when using a personal vehicle for necessary business travel. Gas is included in the mileage
reimbursement, therefore you are not to expense gas used.
Please Note: Reimbursement is limited to mileage incurred outside of your usual round trip commuting mileage to your work location. Employees working
in locations with paid parking, such as large metropolitan areas, or incurring tolls in their normal daily commute cannot submit the cost of parking or tolls for
reimbursement.
Int’l Travel: For tax purposes, if you travel internationally, you must secure receipts for EVERYTHING. Receipts are REQUIRED for EVERYTHING.
Domestic Travel: Receipts are always required for Lodging, Mobile Phone Devices – Company Owned over $50, Miscellaneous charges and Production Location
Research charges.

Airline Travel Rules…
All employees are required to use the Company's Travel Department to make hotel, air, and ground transportation arrangements. Corporate Travel's web based
on-line reservation system, TraveLink, provides numerous benefits and should be used when requesting domestic department travel or simple round-trip
reservations.
Employees should make AIRLINE reservations as early as possible to take advantage of advance purchase discounts. Airline Reservations should be booked at
least 21 days in advance unless the circumstances do not allow for such planning. Due to this requirement, you may be required to create an expense report for
this airline charge(s) prior to you taking your trip. Employees are required to use the lowest logical airfare available.
Employees may retain frequent flyer program benefits. However, participation in these programs must not influence flight selection in a manner that would
result in incremental cost to the company beyond the lowest available airfare.
Non-refundable Tickets: Exchange fees related to changing non-refundable tickets are costly and the exchange process is time consuming. Therefore, it is
recommended that employees utilize non-refundable tickets when they are confident that their travel plans will not change or the savings is significant relative
to potential exchange fees.
Baggage Fees - Employees will be reimbursed for reasonable airline baggage fees. Amounts should be coded to “Airfare” in the employee’s SAP T&E expense
report.
If a trip is cancelled, the employee should work with Corporate Travel to arrange for the use of the ticket for future travel if it is a non-refundable
ticket. Corporate Travel will cancel all reservations and initiate any refunds to the Corporate Card if that was the means of payment. The employee will still
need to submit an expense report for the airfare credit to clear the balance on their corporate card.
The After Hours Travel Number is 1-877-777-3974. ESPN In House Number is 1-860-766-2283.
Air Phone and In-flight Internet Charges
Reasonable charges related to Air phone and In-Flight internet services required for business purposes will be reimbursed to Vice Presidents and above, and to
other employees whose business responsibilities demonstrate such a need. Use of the JPMorgan Chase Corporate Visa Card is required to receive the Company’s
preferential air phone rates.
Always:
Carry valuables (jewelry, laptop computers, cameras, etc.) on board the aircraft.
Carry important and/or confidential documents on board the aircraft.

Clearly tag your luggage with name, address and phone number.

JP Morgan Chase and Pathway Net…
The Company’s Corporate Card (“Corporate Card”) vendors are JPMorgan Chase for domestic employees and American Express for international employees.
All employees who meet one of the following criteria are required to apply for a Corporate Card:
1)Employees who travel regularly
2)Employees who frequently incur local business related expenses
The Corporate Card provides a payment mechanism for T&E expenses and is permitted for such use only. Use of this card for personal expenses is
prohibited.
The amount due on the Corporate Card is due within 25 days of the statement date (i.e., payment due date). An account becomes delinquent when full
payment is not received and credited to the account by the payment due date. JPMorgan and American Express will notify both the employee and the
Company of all delinquent accounts.
• If the cardholder does not make payment within 60 days of the statement date, late payment fees will apply. Charge privileges will be
suspended if payment is not received within 90 days of the statement date.
• If payment is not received within 120 days of the statement date, the card will be automatically cancelled. Additionally, personal use may result
in cancellation of the Corporate Card. If the card is cancelled, the employee cannot be issued another Corporate Card for a period of one year
from the date of cancellation. After one year, approval to reinstate the card must be obtained from the employee’s manager, Business Unit
Controller and Corporate Controllership.
• Late fees are not reimbursable and are the responsibility of the employee.

2. To confirm that all payments have been received
3. To account for all credits issued to your corporate Card account
4. To avoid late charges, account suspension and account cancellation.

Travel & Expense
Quick Tips and Tricks
Expense Types: did you know this is the most common error made in creating expense reports?
Definitions for most frequently used expense types:
Air Travel-The expense of public air transportation while on company business. Also includes baggage fees.
Automobile Rental-The expense of renting vehicles while on company business. Document No: If this field is blank, input the “Virtually
There” 6-digit itinerary code assigned by Corporate Travel.
Business Meals-A meal shared by an employee and business partner(s) to discuss business matters that pertain to and benefit the
Company. A meal consumed by oneself is not considered a business meal and will not be reimbursed. The purpose of the meal is to conduct
business. In SAP T&E, the number field should be used to detail the total number of people in attendance.
Travel Meals and Snacks-The expense of a meal or snacks consumed while traveling on Company business, by one or more Company
employees, for which a business discussion was not the primary purpose. In SAP T&E, the number field should be used to detail the total
number of people dining. Employees receiving Per Diem do not expense personal meals.
Per Diem Meals/Incidentals (US Only)-The daily allowances by TWDC for employees with Per Diem travel status. IRS limits apply.
Lodging (Room & Tax Only)-The expense of lodging while on company business. Other hotel charges (e.g. room service, internet
connection, parking, etc.) can not be included in this expense type. In SAP T&E, the number field should be used to detail the number of
nights of lodging. If the Document No. field is blank, fill it with “1000”.
Mileage-When using personal, employee owned vehicle for business related travel. The amount of miles driven can be expensed. SAP
calculates the rate based on IRS guidelines. Detailed mileage log is required.
Ground Transportation-The expense of public ground transportation, including taxi, shuttle, bus or subway, while on company business.
In SAP T&E, the number field should be used to detail the number of trips (1 for a one-way trip, 2 for a round-trip fare).
Business Calls (Non-Wireless)-The expense associated with making business related telephone calls from a land line. AT&T Calling card
charges would also be expensed in this category.
Mobile Phones-The monthly expense associated with a TWDC employee cell phone or Blackberry. Only the business usage amounts may
be expensed. Documentation of itemization showing the personal vs. business usage is required.

Credit Card Buffer…
What is a “BUFFER”?
The Credit Card Buffer is the repository in SAP of
all expenses and credits posted to your
JPMorgan Chase Corporate Visa card.
Understanding your “BUFFER”
All your Corporate credit card receipts (and
credits too) will be in your ‘buffer’ (Credit Card
Imports).
If you would like to display your buffer without
opening an expense report, select the Credit
Card Imports tab (in SAP).
JPMorgan Chase updates these expense items
on a nightly basis
Policy states: The credit card buffer within the T&E
system includes all merchant charges and credits and
facilitates the completion of expense reports by allowing
you to select items from the buffer without having to rekey the information. Another time saver is that most
buffer items related to domestic travel can be submitted
on an expense report without requiring a receipt.
Using the buffer items to populate your expense reports
along with timely filing of expense reports also enables you
to reconcile your monthly corporate credit card statement
more easily, avoiding the possibility of late charges that
are not reimbursable by the company.
Tips regarding your “BUFFER”:
1.You MUST pull your credit card receipts from your buffer when
filling out your expense report.
2.Credits applied to your corporate credit card MUST be expensed
also. If your credit is for an expense report already processed, that
expense report must be re-opened and the credit applied to that
expense report.
3.NEVER, NEVER attempt to delete a credit (or any other charges)
from your “BUFFER”
4.Wait for your credit card receipts to hit your buffer. Do not
create/complete your expense report until your credit card receipts
are in your buffer.

Meals: Business, Travel (Per Diem on slide 21)
 A Business Meal is a meal with other Company employees and/or third parties at which business is
discussed. There must be a 3rd party attendee to qualify as a Business Meal.
 Company will reimburse employees for the reasonable and customary cost of business meals.
 Per IRS guidelines, Travel Meals and Snacks are meals consumed by one or more Company employees who
are traveling on Company business with an overnight stay. Again, reasonable and customary cost only.
 Payment Protocol: The highest-ranking employee in attendance must pay (and expense) for the meal.
Don’t forget: When expensing a Business Meal, the following

1.Number field. This field represents total number of people
attending this meal, including yourself.
2.Description: Description of Business Meal.
3.Location - Country/Region: Where did Business Meal take
place. It is critical that the Country/Region field be completed
correctly. If incorrect, reimbursement could be subjected to
federal and state income taxes.
4.Business Purpose: Business purpose of meal
5.Participants: Names of all attendees (including 3rd party
attendees).
Travel Meal and Snacks only requires the Number Field to
be populated. This number represents the number of

Per Diem.. What is that??
Definition of Per Diem:
Per Diem is the reimbursement for meals and
incidentals (breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks and
tips) at a flat daily rate. This eliminates the need
for the employee to maintain receipts for these
types of expenses. The actual costs for the meals
and incidentals are not reimbursed, only the flat
rate.
To qualify for Per Diem reimbursement, it
requires overnight travel.
The United States General Service
Administration (GSA) sets the Per Diem rates.
For U.S., Canada and Mexico, current Per Diem
daily rate is $48 per day. This equates to:
•
$27 for dinner
•
$13 for lunch
•
$8 for breakfast
IRS Guidelines states that on travel days (both
departure and return), depending on time of
travel, the Per Diem must be prorated and
reimbursed at 75%. Example: if you are traveling
in the afternoon, you are not entitled to a full day
of Per Diem.
 75% of the daily Per Diem rate $48 =
$36.
When requesting Per Diem reimbursements, it is critical that
the Country/Region fields be completed correctly.
(General Data screen and Receipts screen)
If incorrect, reimbursement could be subjected to federal
and state income taxes.
Don’t forget…Enter the number of days you are claiming Per
Diem in the Number Field. You must fill in the description

Ground Transportation Rules…
Ground transportation is to be used to/from airports for business travel. Also includes taxi, shuttle, bus or subway. All
charges for rentals and shuttle services should be billed to the employee’s Corporate Card and submitted for
reimbursement on a SAP T&E expense report. The Company will not reimburse an employee for the rental of Global
Positioning System (GPS) devices or services.
Don’t forget: When expensing Ground Transportation, you MUST populate
the Number field. The NUMBER used for Ground Transportation is the number
of ONE-WAY trips for this expense. Also, be sure to document how many
ONE-WAY trips you are expensing and at what cost (in the description field).
Reminder, Train Transportation
has it’s own expense type.

Quick Tips and Tricks
When do I use the DO NOT PAY Expense Type?
• T&E Corporate Policy clearly states that Corporate Credit Cards are
NOT to be used for personal reasons.
• The only time personal expenses may be charged to the Corporate
Card is when traveling on company business.
• Personal expenses, such as in-room movies and health club or spa
charges which appear on the hotel folio, may be charged to the
Corporate Card.
• Using the Itemization tool in the T&E module, you can remove the
personal expenses from your lodging receipt by selecting DO NOT
PAY expense type.
• Using the Itemization tool will allow these charges to be segregated
from JPMorgan Chase and the employee will be responsible for
payment.
• If the Corporate Credit Card is used by mistake for personal
expenses, the receipt will appear in your Credit Card Buffer and you
will need to remove by using the DO NOT PAY expense type.
JPMorgan Chase will not pay and the employee will be responsible
for payment. Never, Never attempt to delete charges from your
Credit Card Buffer.
Itemization tool and DO NOT PAY: Complete instructions on how to use these
tools can be found at:
