Disney Announces Hotel Revenue LOSSES — Here’s How You May Be Affected


Recommended Posts

The Walt Disney Company just dropped a bunch of news.

Each quarter, the company releases an earnings report and then hosts an earnings call to review the numbers and answer pressing questions. We typically learn quite a bit of information from these calls, and after the 2024 Q2 earnings results were released, we have some predictions about changes coming soon to Disneyland Resort.

Unfortunately, Disneyland Resort had a fairly rough quarter. Even though the operating income increased in the domestic parks and experiences division, that was mostly due to higher performance with Walt Disney World and Disney Cruise Line. It was partially offset by lower results at Disneyland Resort for Q2.

Disney says that the decrease at Disneyland Resort was likely due to a few factors, including higher costs driven by inflation, higher prices for guests, and a lower number of occupied room nights at the Disneyland Resort hotels. This is a problem for the west coast resort, so how will it be fixed?

Ultimately, this likely means that we can expect price increases in the future. If the number of visitors is down, then Disney will need to offset that with higher spending per visitor. It’s a delicate balancing act, because if Disney increases prices too high, the attendance will drop even further.

Disneyland Resort had fairly good park attendance for the quarter, but with hotel stays down, they’ll be wanting to draw in more out-of-town guests. Disneyland has long been known as the park for “locals” as compared to Disney World, which is more of a vacation destination for out-of-towners.

The next few years will be a crucial time for Disneyland Resort. It was just announced that they have approval from the Anaheim City Council to proceed with the DisneylandForward expansion. Many people like to save their vacations for AFTER a major expansion has opened in the parks, so Disney may want to find ways to draw visitors in during the in-between time.
