Disney’s Domestic Parks Thrive with 22% Operating Income Increase, Despite New Competition
The Walt Disney Company’s domestic parks and resorts demonstrated remarkable performance in the third quarter of fiscal year 2025, with operating income soaring by 22% to reach $1.7 billion. This significant growth comes in a competitive landscape, notably with the recent opening of Universal Epic Universe in Orlando on May 22, 2025.

In the fiscal report for the quarter ending on June 28, 2025, the Disney Experiences segment as a whole reported a segment operating income of $2.5 billion, marking an increase of $294 million over the same quarter in the previous fiscal year. Total revenue for the segment also saw an 8% rise, climbing to $9.086 million from $8.386 million a year ago.
While domestic parks flourished, the report detailed mixed results for other parts of the business. Operating income for international parks saw a slight decrease of 3%, settling at $422 million, while consumer products experienced a minor increase of 1%, reaching $444 million. On the revenue side, international parks grew by 6% and consumer products by 3%.
According to the report, the strong performance of the domestic parks was primarily fueled by an increase in guest spending and higher volumes. These positive trends were also seen in the company’s cruise business, with a rise in passenger cruise days and occupied room nights, particularly following the launch of the Disney Treasure in Q1 FY2025. Disney noted that these operational gains offset an increase in costs, which were largely attributed to new guest offerings and the expansion of the Disney Cruise Line fleet.
The Walt Disney Company CEO, Bob Iger, commented on the quarter’s results, stating, “Our Experiences segment delivered another outstanding quarter driven by growth across all businesses at Domestic Parks & Experiences […]. Disney operates in a league of its own, and our achievements this quarter demonstrate how we continue to successfully execute across our strategic priorities.”
Iger added, “With ambitious plans ahead for all of our businesses, we’re not done building, and we are excited for the company’s future.”
The company’s total revenue for Q3 FY2025 was reported at $23.7 billion.
