Disney Parks, Experiences and Products

Overview

Disney Parks, Experiences and Products, Inc., formerly known as Walt Disney Parks and Resorts Worldwide, Inc. is one of The Walt Disney Company’s three core business segments.

Disney parks are the industry leader in both attendance and revenues per capita, and command the highest ticket prices in the industry.

Theme parks are developed as parts of larger resort destination developments that include multiple gated attractions, hotels, retail, dining, and entertainment (RDE) districts, meeting and convention facilities, and other uses (timeshares, sports and recreation, etc.).

Disney Parks, Experiences and Products owns and operates six theme parks and two water parks in the US, and four outside of the US – Shanghai Disneyland, Hong Kong Disneyland, and Disneyland Paris and Walt Disney Studios Park. Disney licenses its intellectual property (IP) to two parks in Japan – Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea.

As Disney continues to make large investments such as Galaxy’s Edge in its existing parks, it has introduced tiered pricing to capture a greater value premium in recent years.

Currently, Disney has no new theme park projects under development or in the pipeline. The company is focused on the expansion of its existing parks and resort destinations.
