The Walt Disney Company has announced its 2026 Q1 earnings report, and the Disney Experiences division responsible for theme parks and cruise ships, posted a record $10 billion in revenue. This represented a 6% increase in year over year revenue as guests continued to spend more. Here’s a breakdown.
Disney Parks Records $10 Billion in Revenue for Q1 2026
Of the $10 billion of topline revenue, the domestic theme parks and experiences were responsible for $6.9 billion, while international theme parks accounted for $1.7 billion. Consumer products, also part of the Disney Experiences division, posted $1.3 billion of revenue.
From the $10 billion in revenue, the division had $3.3 billion in operating income. Domestically, Disney was able to extract $2.1 billion of profit, with international parks adding another $428 million of operating income. Consumer products accounted for $732 million of income.
Disney said that an increase in operating income was due to higher volumes attributable to increased passenger cruise days, attendance and occupied room nights. Additional passenger cruise days reflected the launches of the Disney Treasure in December 2024 and the Disney Destiny in November 2025. The increase in attendance benefited from the comparison to the adverse impact of Hurricane Milton in the prior-year quarter.
Disney also said that there was an increase in guest spending.
Our Experiences segment had a solid start to the fiscal year, with quarterly revenue exceeding $10 billion for the first time. Our efforts to turbocharge this segment are well underway, and we are excited about continued progress on a robust pipeline of projects to support long-term growth.
We have expansion projects underway at every one of our theme parks, and next month, we will welcome guests to the new World of Frozen at the completely reimagined Disney Adventure World at Disneyland Paris. This milestone marks the beginning of a bold new era for Disneyland Paris, nearly doubling the size of the second park and showcasing Disney’s unique ability to bring our stories to life in the physical world. Additionally, we are continuously expanding storytelling in our parks, with new experiences featuring Bluey, activations planned around the release of Toy Story 5, and a new mission featuring the Mandalorian and Grogu inside Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run coming soon.
At Disney Cruise Line, we recently launched the Disney Destiny, which has received outstanding reviews from guests since its maiden voyage on November 20. The Disney Adventure, our first ship homeported in Asia, is on its way to Singapore for its maiden voyage on March 10, bringing immersive Disney storytelling to more people globally than ever before. This will bring our fleet to a total of eight cruise ships, with another five scheduled for launch beyond fiscal 2026.
Overall, this quarter reflects our focused execution and investment across each of our strategic priorities and stands on the solid foundation we’ve built over the past three years, providing us with a path for long-term growth.
