To be clear, I've focused almost exclusively on what's happening in Disney's Parks & Resorts segment which, in 2013, represented 31% of The Walt Disney Company's revenue but only 21% of earnings.
I think when you consider 6 stateside parks, it's not unreasonable to say that a new e-ticket should be built every other year in the domestic parks.
When was the last time the revenue matched or exceeded earnings in the P&R segment?
I believe there was a rumor that HKDL would get Marvel and SDL would eventually get Star Wars to keep the resorts competitive from an IP standpoint.
it will be interesting to see if this trend continues into the fall
That only works if you're convinced that the parks are only about franchises. I do not think the Government of Hong Kong sees it that way since they only recently pressured Disney to build two lands not related to any franchises.
Nothing but great news. The more this happens the more chance we have of TDO feeling pressure to actually do something. It's a minuscule chance, but a chance nonetheless. Go Universal!!!!!! Shoot for the stars!!!!!!!!!
2004, when both P&R revenue and operating income were 25% of the company as a whole.
