Parks and Resorts up 9% to $3.91 billion. Operating income growth for the quarter was driven by an increase at the domestic operations


Disney files smash-hit quarter with record revenues • 4:24 PM

• Disney (NYSE:DIS) posts a huge beat of $1.27 (up 27%) on a record $13.39B in revenues, higher even than the top range of expectations for its fiscal Q1.
• Lots of strength in segment revenues: Media Networks up 11% to $5.86B; Parks and Resorts up 9% to $3.91B; Studio Entertainment down 2% to $1.86B; Consumer Products up 22% to $1.38B; Interactive down 5% to $384M.

Disney killing it yet again.

Bob Iger, Today...

This was yet another incredibly strong quarter for our Company, with diluted EPS up 23% driven by record revenue as well as significant growth in segment operating income. Our results once again reflect the strength of our brands and high quality content and demonstrate that our proven franchise strategy creates long-term value across all of our businesses.

Domestic gains came from "higher volumes and guest spending growth at our parks and resorts and, to a lesser extent, at our cruise business, partially offset by higher costs."

Maybe they won't raise ticket prices this year!!!!

I would say at least 6-7% of that increase is directly related to the ticket increase last year which, in turn, gives them justification to do it again this year. That of course is just my opinion as a minor stock holder. My opinion as a park goer is that they better hold off on another ticket raise. They are starting to price a lot of people out of the parks when they see the prices for a one day ticket now. Can you say "sticker shock". Yes I know, like the rest of you, that the prices go down for the more days that you buy but I am veteran of WAY TO MANY TRIPS to remember and I know most all of the tricks but a lot of people aren't like us.

I am almost priced out for a family of four now. We definitely don't go as often as we used to that is for sure.

And that's why Disney does. You might be priced out but Disney is always gaining customers. They are way more focused on the once in a lifetime visitor. They don't really cater to locals or repeat guests at all at WDW.

Disney is going to keep increasing until they stop seeing these record numbers or a decrease in attendance.
