Disney’s domestic parks saw a 22% increase in operating income in the last quarter, with revenue climbing from $5.8 billion to $6.4 billion—a roughly $600 million jump. But this growth presents a nuanced story:
Price hikes appear to be a primary driver, with increased ticket prices, hotel costs, Lightning Lane, and Genie Plus fees inflating per-capita expenditure.
Fewer visitors overall, possibly due to high costs and market saturation, may mean that the increase in revenue is driven more by higher prices than more visitors.
