With Walt Disney World and the Disneyland Resort each setting the all-time quarterly attendance records the revenue for the quarter segment, which ended Dec. 27, 2015, rose nine percent to $3.9 billion as attendance at the company’s California and Florida parks climbed seven percent. Even with the measles outbreak linked to Disney’s Southern California theme parks, their attendance still is soaring.
Earlier this month it was stated by Bob Iger CEO in an interview with CNBC that the company was seeing no discernible impact on attendance or bookings from the outbreak, which was revealed last month. More than 70 people in California, including six Disneyland employees and about two dozen others in six states, Mexico and Canada have been sickened in the outbreak.
A one-day ticket to Epcot, Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Disney’s Animal Kingdom now is $97 up from $94. Disney also bumped up ticket prices for children ages three through nine. Children of that age will be charged $93 for a single-day ticket at Disneyland, that is up from $90. For the Magic Kingdom, that ticket is now $99 which is up from $93. For the other theme parks it is now $91, up from $88.
Suzi Brown, a Disneyland spokeswoman said that Disney raises ticket prices at its U.S. theme parks annually. This is because they are continually adding new experiences and many of our guests select multi-day tickets or annual passes, which provide a great value and additional savings.
