How to Buy Stock in Walt Disney Co.
Decide if you want to use a traditional brokerage to buy stock in Walt Disney Co. or open a direct stock purchase plan. Buying stock through a broker is usually more expensive (even with discount brokers) and requires higher investment minimums. However, you can use your brokerage account for other investments as well. A DSPP can only be used for the sponsoring company's stock, and you must adhere to the terms of the plan prospectus.
Open a cash account with a discount broker if you want to buy a share in Walt Disney Co. on the open market. Disney stock trades on the NYSE with the ticker symbol DIS. To open a cash account, you will need to provide a valid ID (driver's license, state ID or military ID), your income, place of employment and other personal information. A minimum deposit is required, usually $1,000. Once you've opened your account, all you have to do is place your order to buy a share of Walt Disney Co. with your broker.
Learn how the Walt Disney direct stock purchase plan works. The plan is set up with the company transfer agent, which is Disney Shareholder Services. The required investment is $250. This is payable in $50 (or more) monthly installments if you arrange for automatic debiting from your bank account. Each stock purchase transaction carries a fee of $1 if made by electronic funds transfer, or $5 if by check or money order. A per-share fee of 1 cent is also charged (subject to change without notice). There is a one-time setup fee of $10.
Enroll in the Disney DSPP if that's the best investment option for you. Read the plan prospectus before you complete the enrollment form. Both are available online (see Resources) or you can order paper copies by calling Disney Shareholder Services at 1-818-553-7200.
Select the features you want for your Disney DSPP. Dividends are reinvested automatically without charge. You can also get free safekeeping of your stock certificates, and you may transfer ownership of shares at no charge (to another member of your family, for example). Like most direct stock purchase plans, the Disney DSPP can be set up as a traditional or Roth IRA.

How to Wire Subwoofers to Stock GM Radios
Remove the grounding cable from the negative battery lead of the GM vehicle. The grounding cable is connected to the negative battery lead (marked with a minus sign or 'NEG') and runs to a point on the frame of the vehicle. Use a Phillips-head screwdriver to remove the cable from the negative lead post.
Connect the power supply cable from the amplifier wiring kit to the positive battery lead.
Run the power supply cable from the engine compartment into the inside of the vehicle, through the firewall. The cable will emerge in the foot well on the driver's side.
Remove the stereo from the dash of the vehicle. Removing the stereo requires that you remove the dash trim panel surrounding the radio. Use a Phillips-head screwdriver to remove the screw in the dash panel just to the right and below the steering column. Pull the dash panel free from the vehicle.
Remove the bolt screws on either side of the stereo mounting bracket. The screws can be removed with a 7-millimeter socket and ratchet or a Phillips-head screwdriver. Pull the stereo from the dash.
Remove the wiring connections to the rear of the stereo by pulling the wiring from the radio. Connect the wiring to a wiring harness adapter. Connect the wiring harness leads to the stereo.
Connect the signal cable and turn-on lead from the amp wiring kit to the wiring harness adapter. Feed the cables through the rear of the stereo mounting dock and down to the foot well of the passenger side of the vehicle.
Replace the stereo into the dash of the vehicle. Replace the two 7-millimeter bolts on either side of the radio. Replace the dash trim panel and screw in the screw on the lower section of the dash near the steering column.
Remove the trim panels along the doorways of the vehicle with the trim panel removal tool. Lift the carpeting on either side of the vehicle to lay the cables to be routed to the rear of the vehicle.
Run the power supply cable (from the battery) along the driver's side of the vehicle, beneath the carpet, to the rear cargo area of the GM car, truck or SUV. Lay the signal cable and turn-on lead (from the passenger-side foot well) along the passenger side of the vehicle.
Replace the carpeting and secure the trim panels at the doorways by hand. Pressing the panels in place will fasten them to the floor of the vehicle.
Connect the signal cable, the turn-on lead and the power supply cable to the subwoofer in the rear of the vehicle. Connect the grounding wire (from the amplifier wiring kit) to the subwoofer and then to a screw or bolt in the rear of the car. The purpose of the grounding wire is to ground the system and any bolt connected to the frame of the vehicle will work fine.
Reconnect the grounding cable to the negative battery lead post. Tighten the cable on the post with a Phillips-head screwdriver.
