The Platinum titles do NOT stay in print for 2 years. Snow White and Beauty and the Beast were only sold for 4 months. I expect Lion King will be announced in its own press release about going out of print early in 2004.
Sleeping Beauty is pretty much a Platinum title (2 discs, cardboard cover, etc.) and they are just increasing the timing from here on (1 every 6 months).

The movies usually stay in the vault for several years. Anywhere from 3 years to 8 years was common with VHS. With dvd we don't really know for sure, as they have never re-released an out of print dvd (Peter Pan limited was redone as Peter Pan SE). They say the Platinum titles will be out of print for 8 years, but who knows?

Everytime one of these threads start, some people start to panic thinking they are pulling DVDs off the shelves. They only stop production of the DVDs. Just the other day, I saw both Snow White and Beauty and the Beast in a store. Last time people panic'd over E.T. being pulled but it's still available.

They need to put those sequels back into the vault so they can churn out another 962 of them before the end of 2004. After all, they don't want to flood the market with DTV poo while the DTV crap is still readily available. I think the main reason people post threads about titles going OOP is because as availability wanes, chances of having to pay MSRP increase, and who among us likes to do that?
