Disney Experiences generated $10 billion in revenue for the first quarter of 2026. It includes theme parks, Disney Cruise Line, and Consumer Products.
Disney Experiences Q1 2026 Revenue
Of the $10 billion, domestic theme parks and experiences brought in $6.9 billion. Attendance at the domestic parks was up 1% in the quarter, and per capita spending was up 4%.
International theme parks brought in for $1.7 billion. Consumer products was responsible for $1.3 billion of the revenue.
The increase in revenue was largely due to increased passenger cruise days, attendance, and occupied room nights. Additional passenger cruise days reflected the launches of the Disney Treasure in December 2024 and the Disney Destiny in November 2025.
It would have originally included the maiden voyage of the eighth ship, Disney Adventure, but this was delayed to March.
The additional ships did mean more costs, however. There were also significant pre-opening costs for World of Frozen at Disneyland Paris.
Disney CEO Bob Iger mentioned other upcoming projects, like Disneyland Abu Dhabi, and their potential to grow the parks business.
We have expansion projects underway at every one of our theme parks, and next month, we will welcome guests to the new World of Frozen at the completely reimagined Disney Adventure World at Disneyland Paris. This milestone marks the beginning of a bold new era for Disneyland Paris, nearly doubling the size of the second park and showcasing Disney’s unique ability to bring our stories to life in the physical world. Additionally, we are continuously expanding storytelling in our parks, with new experiences featuring Bluey, activations planned around the release of Toy Story 5, and a new mission featuring the Mandalorian and Grogu inside Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run coming soon.
Overall, this quarter reflects our focused execution and investment across each of our strategic priorities and stands on the solid foundation we’ve built over the past three years, providing us with a path for long-term growth.
Walt Disney World had a strong quarter and bookings for the year are up 5%.
In Q1 2025, Disney Experiences earned $9.4 billion in revenue but had a decline in U.S. operating income, which was in part attributed to hurricane-related operational changes. Walt Disney World did not have to close due to hurricanes this year, although Disney Cruise Line did have to alter some itineraries.
The company earned a total of $26 billion in revenue.
Disney did not announce their next CEO during the earnings call but a reveal is expected any day now.
