During the company's Q3 earnings call on Wednesday, CFO Christine McCarthy said attendance at domestic parks "continues to exceed expectations."
Guest spending at the parks is up 10% compared to the same period last year and 40% over the same period in 2019. Disney attributed that increase in part to Genie+ and Lightning Lane, its paid options to access shorter attraction lines.
McCarthy said hotel occupancy was 90%, "another sign of robust demand."
International visitation of Disney's domestic parks, primarily the Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, is still below its traditional level of 17% to 22% of total attendance, "but it's made significant progress," McCarthy said.
Disney Parks, Experiences and Products' fiscal Q3 revenue was up 70% to $7.39 billion. The division recorded operating income of $2.18 billion, an increase of more than 100%.
