Gemstone celebrates Floyd Gottfredson - groundbreaking "Mouse Man" and 2006 Will Eisner Comic Industry Award Hall of Fame inductee! This multi-volume collection brings together the majority of Gottfredson's works, many never-before-reprinted in North America! Volume One traces the earliest, scrappiest Mickey from Gottfredson's first daily strip adventure, 1930's "Death Valley," through such legendary classics as "Circus Roustabout," "Blaggard Castle," and "Mickey Mouse and His Horse Tanglefoot"! Join feisty Minnie, know-it-all Horace Horsecollar, fiendish Pegleg Pete and our daring, two-fisted hero for wild adventures among cowboys, mad scientists, and even (gulp!) city slickers!

I haven't seen a definitive rundown on the contents of the Gottfredson books, so I can't speak to what will finally be in them.
It is my understanding, though, that there are restrictions on some of the earliest strips, due to their content.
Disney does have great enthusiasm for this project, and wants to see it happen. From what I gather, and for what it's worth, they're as disappointed as we are that there are some strips they just can't see their way to allowing to be reproduced.
