I think Disney should buy space in Two World Trade Center to house Marvel Comics, WPIX, and the East Coast operations of Fox.
I'm not too familiar with Global Crossing, but there is a possibility of having a cable feed of Fox to serve markets that don't have an affiliate yet.Actually, will it be possible to see a joint-venture of Global Crossing and Disney to serve as a cable service provider.
I belive Tyco toys was a sperate company form tyco indusite (the serurity systme manafucer)I think Tyco is a good buyout target. Tyco was sold to Mattel. The same company also made security systems. Tyco's most famous toy was called the Magna Doodle. This product after Tyco was sold to Mattel was rebranded under the Fisher-Price name and sold as the Doodle Pro. I feel like Gulf & Western, Bally, Berkshire Hathaway, Turner, or Disney would be a good buyout option. Plus, if Tyco is sold then any company that buys it might put custom designs on the Magna Doodle to promote their products.

Furthermore here's the list of companies acquired by Mattel: Tyco, Fisher-Price, the Pleasant Company (American Girl), Matchbox, and Mega Blox. I made an error: Selchow & Righter was acquired by Coleco in 1986. Since this was not mentioned in an update, I assume this proceeded as OTL.
If a licensee has to be made for either company, I'd want Grand Diamond as Disney's partner, while Universal can make deals with The Jim Henson Company and Warner Bros.Disney and Universal are both jockeying for third-party licensees for new parks expected to open right here in Orlando at decade's end.
