Disney’s US Parks Grow as Asian Operations Face Pressure

Disney’s domestic parks delivered stronger results during the latest quarter, while its international attractions faced softer consumer demand. Operating income from the wider experiences division, which includes parks and cruises, increased 20%, supported by a 27% rise in the domestic business. Attendance at US parks grew 3%, while guest spending per person increased 4%. In contrast, operating income from international parks declined 13%, with weaker demand affecting Shanghai and Hong Kong. The difference highlights how tourism recovery remains uneven across markets. Disney expects the pressure in Asia to continue into the following quarter while using targeted promotions to protect demand at its American properties.
