Disney can decide to terminate that license but the disc is another story. The license is for the media on the disc but the physical disc itself is owned by the person who bought it. This is literally why a company can remove a show or movie or song from your digital library. The license holder can always revoke the license. It was harder to enforce with physical media (and cost prohibitive in a lot of cases), but still possible.

No, they can't Google first sale doctrine.

They can remove shit from your digital library because in page 76 of the terms and conditions that you didn't read, they redefined the word purchase to mean temporarily rent.
