Segment operating results increased $2.2 billion to income of $356 million.

The report explains that the revenue has increased dramatically due to the reopening of all their theme parks, as well as constant revenue from Walt Disney World Resort and Shanghai Disney Resort which were open for the entire quarter.

However, there was more to Disney’s success in the Disney Parks, Experiences, and Products sector than just the theme parks reopening, and that was merchandise sales. The report noted an increase in merchandise popularity for the following IPs: Mickey and Minnie, Star Wars, including The Mandalorian, Disney Princesses, and Spider-Man. Interestingly enough, a lot of this revenue was conducted at the company’s Disney Stores, which were closed last quarter. Many of which will be closed next quarter as Disney has shut down many locations globally.
From these results, we can clearly see that the Disney Parks division is returning to normal.
Do you expect Disney’s revenue from the Disney Parks, Experiences, and Products sector to continue to rise?
