Disney saw revenue from its theme parks and cruise ships double in November, December and January compared with the same quarter 12 months earlier.

Crowds are returning to Disney's theme parks around the world

Income in its Parks, Experiences and Products division, which includes cruise ships, increased to $7.2 billion compared to $3.6 billion. Disney said most of this was from increased attendance at parks and experiences, and “to a lesser extent”, increased guest spending.

It added: “Cruise ships operated at reduced capacities in the current quarter while sailings were suspended in the prior-year quarter. Guest spending growth was due to an increase in average per capita ticket revenue, higher average daily hotel room rates and an increase in food, beverage and merchandise spending.”
