Florida - Disney has announced a notable rise in income within its theme park sector, Disney Experiences, coinciding with the opening of Universal Orlando’s new theme park, Epic Universe. The financial results, released on August 6, 2025, indicate a 13% increase in income for the third quarter of fiscal year 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, with domestic growth reaching 22%.
Financial Performance and Contributing Factors
The reviewed period spans from March 31 to June 28, 2025. During this time, Disney reported that income growth was influenced by several factors, including increased guest spending and the launch of the Disney Treasure cruise ship. Enhancements at its theme parks, such as the introduction of two new live shows at Walt Disney World and a campaign targeting families with young children, were also highlighted. Additionally, Disneyland’s 70th anniversary was observed, potentially contributing to increased attendance and spending.
Universal Orlando’s Epic Universe
Epic Universe, Universal Orlando’s latest theme park, commenced operations on May 22, 2025. The park features themed areas such as Celestial Park, Super Nintendo World, Dark Universe, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Ministry of Magic, and How to Train Your Dragon – Isle of Berk. Despite its recent opening, Epic Universe has already influenced the Orlando theme park environment. Tickets are available as daily admissions or part of multi-day packages with other Universal parks; however, they are not included in any annual pass offerings.
The new park contributes to the competitive atmosphere in Orlando, a city known for its theme park attractions.
Conclusion
Disney’s financial results demonstrate a successful period amid new competition from Universal’s Epic Universe. With various initiatives, including new attractions and celebratory events, Disney Experiences has achieved significant financial growth.
