Disney Parks Earnings and Attendance
+10%Parks & Experiences revenue, to $8,903 million, in the three months ended June 27, 2026
+20%Experiences operating income, to $3,017 million. Disney says a tariff refund was roughly four points of that growth.
+3%attendance at Disney’s U.S. parks, with per capita spending up 4%. Global guests, which add cruise passenger days, grew 4%.
Walt Disney World “had a stand-out quarter,” Disney said, with attendance up from domestic tourists and annual passholders. Disney also reported “strong attendance growth at Disneyland Paris” after World of Frozen opened, and it expects the “softness at our Asia parks” to continue in its fiscal fourth quarter, which it reports with its full-year 2026 results on Nov. 17, 2026.
From the first quarter of fiscal 2027, Disney plans to move much of its Consumer Products business out of the Experiences segment and into Entertainment.
| Quarter | Experiences revenue | Experiences operating income | U.S. park attendance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Q3 fiscal 2026Ended June 27, 2026 | $9,968 millionup 10% | $3,017 millionup 20% | Up 3% |
| Q2 fiscal 2026Ended March 28, 2026 | $9,487 millionup 7% | $2,615 millionup 5% | Down 1% |
| Q1 fiscal 2026Ended Dec. 27, 2025 | $10,006 millionup 6% | $3,309 millionup 6% | Up 1% |
| Q4 fiscal 2025Ended Sept. 27, 2025 | $8,766 millionup 6% | $1,878 millionup 13% | Not given |
Experiences is the Disney segment that holds the parks and resorts, Disney Cruise Line and consumer products. Each change is against the same quarter a year earlier, from Disney’s quarterly earnings releases. I add each quarter here when Disney reports.
