Not sure where you are getting your information, Billy, but you are over a decade off. All of that has already happened -- outsourcing has been used heavily since the early 2000's. I am in "the biz" and have had friend put in the situation 10+ years ago where they had to train up their replacement in India before they were laid off (if they refused, they didn't get their severance package).
While this still happens, the tide has actually turned the other way a bit. Outsourcing to India, China, South America, Eastern Block, etc. was the "in" thing to do after the dot-com bubble burst in 2000. A ton of what upper-management thought was software engineering (but it was really just "programming") was moved from the states to those other countries; especially India and China.
My Fortune 25 company first started moving software development jobs to India, and then shifted to China as wages in India were rising quickly. But then guess what -- the productivity we got out of those divisions never rose to the level that they expected, and they finally realized it was not the right solution to blindly move development of full products to the low-cost countries. In fact, just last year my organization shut down our China group (over 100 people of our ~500-person group) and replaced those jobs with engineers in the US, Ireland and Germany!
The pendulum will continue to swing back and forth, but I think a lot of companies have realized there are certain types of work (technical services, generic "programming", etc.) that is a better fit for "off-shoring" to the low-cost countries, but the R&D, innovation, etc. is where the US and Europe still excels and is best left "on-shore".
BTW, from the article it sounds like the jobs Disney was replacing fit more into the technical services (just keeping the systems running) vs. any real R&D type jobs.
