Bob Iger and The Walt Disney Company have unveiled the latest earnings results, and the numbers paint a clear picture: Disney’s parks and resorts continue to shine. Even with Universal’s Epic Universe now open in Orlando, Disney Experiences reported record-breaking income and a forward-looking plan that shows no signs of retreat.
The company’s fiscal 2025 earnings report highlights an operating income of $10 billion for Disney Experiences, marking a $723 million increase from the previous year. The fourth quarter alone brought in $1.9 billion—$219 million more than the same period last year. Domestic operations grew 9% to $920 million, while international parks surged 25% to $375 million.
In its executive summary, Disney acknowledged the increased competition in Central Florida but reaffirmed confidence in its strategy. “Overall, our Experiences business delivered strong results in fiscal 2025, despite increased competition in the Orlando market,” the report reads. Looking toward fiscal 2026, Disney expects operating income to rise by high single digits, emphasizing operational excellence, cost management, and guest satisfaction.
Part of that growth will come from new adventures on land and sea. The Disney Destiny will set sail on November 20, followed by the Disney Adventure in March. Across the Atlantic, World of Frozen at Disneyland Paris is set to open in the spring. Disney expects its results to strengthen in the second half of the year as these projects launch.
Meanwhile, Walt Disney World Resort continues to evolve. Large-scale construction projects across Magic Kingdom, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Disney’s Animal Kingdom, and multiple hotels are shaping the next generation of experiences. While the extensive updates may temporarily impact visits, Disney remains committed to creating lasting magic for its guests.
As Iger prepares to discuss the results publicly, Disney’s continued growth underscores a clear message: the company is focused on the future, ensuring that The Most Magical Place on Earth remains at the heart of every guest’s story.
