Disney Parks See Strong Growth in Q3, Walt Disney World Exceeds Expectations

The Walt Disney Company reported its third quarter fiscal 2026 results, with Parks & Resorts seeing strong growth. Walt Disney World had a 'stand-out' quarter, driven by healthy core attendance increases from domestic tourists and Annual Passholders.

Attendance at the domestic parks grew 3% versus the prior-year quarter, while global Guest Days across the Experiences segment increased 4%. Per guest spending at the domestic parks was up 4%, with theme park admissions revenue growth due to increases of 5% from higher average per capita ticket revenue and 3% from increased attendance.

The company's Experiences segment saw revenue grow by 10% for the third quarter, driven by 11% revenue growth at the domestic parks & resorts. Operating income growth was 20%, with $100 million in a tariff refund representing roughly four points of that growth.
