Walt Disney Parks and Resorts Revenue up 12 percent in Q3, 2017

Disney released their Q3, 2017 Earrings yesterday August 8th, which the full release can be found here. Parks and Resorts was the best performing segment of the Walt Disney Company. Overall the Walt Disney Company remained relatively flat overall.

Parks and Resorts

Parks and Resorts

Parks and Resorts revenues for the quarter increased 12% to $4.9 billion and segment operating income increased 18% to $1,168 million. Operating income growth for the quarter reflected an increase at our international operations, while results at our domestic operations were comparable to the prior-year quarter. Segment results benefited from the timing of the Easter holiday, which fell in the third quarter of the current year compared to the second quarter of the prior year.

International Operations

Operating income growth at our international operations was due to increases at Shanghai Disney Resort and Disneyland Paris. The increase at Shanghai Disney Resort reflected a full quarter of operations in the current year compared to the prior-year quarter, which included pre-opening costs. Higher operating income at Disneyland Paris was due to increases in guest spending and attendance, partially offset by higher costs for new guest offerings, including the 25th Anniversary celebration. The increase in guest spending was primarily due to higher average ticket prices and increases in food, beverage and merchandise spending.

Domestic Operations

At our domestic operations, increased costs were essentially offset by increases in guest spending and volumes. Higher costs were primarily due to labor and other cost inflation, increased operations support costs, new guest offerings and the dry-dock of the Disney Fantasy in the current quarter. Costs for new guest offerings were driven by the launch of the expansion of Disney’s Animal Kingdom at Walt Disney World Resort, including the related marketing costs. Guest spending growth was due to increases in average ticket prices for sailings on our cruise ships and admission to our theme parks, as well as higher average daily hotel room rates and food and beverage spending. Higher volumes were due to attendance growth, partially offset by a decrease in occupied room nights and lower passenger cruise days due to the dry-dock of the Disney Fantasy. The decrease in occupied room nights was due to refurbishments and conversions to vacation club units.

Theme Park Revenues up all around

Disney’s release of their Q3 earnings comes a week after Comcast released their Q2 earnings on July 31. Universal Theme Parks’ revenue was up 15% to $1.3 billion. This is great news for both companies as they are both continuing to grow their revenues.

Ash 🤝🏼 Gertie 🫶🏼 Best day ever at @dis Ash 🤝🏼 Gertie 🫶🏼 Best day ever at @discoverycove experiencing two upgrades that made our day with @academytravel one we won’t forget! 

🐬 Signature Dolphin Swim: loved getting up close & personal to this 500lb beauty! The Animal Care Specialists were so knowledgeable and taught us all about their habits & behaviors. It’s incredible how they communicate! The individual interaction & professional photos were so worth it. 

🐠 SeaVenture: so awesome being underwater in a dive helmet with 5,000 fish and the best view of sharks! This was truly so unique and a must do in The Grand Reef. I would imagine it feels similar to walk on the moon. So cool.
