Disney have today announced significant investment in their parks and cruise line to the tune of $60b over the next 10 years, revealing it had more than 1,000 acres of land available for development across a number of locations including Disneyland at Anaheim, Walt Disney World in Orlando, Disneyland Paris and its parks in China and Japan along with ports in the States, Asia and Australia.
The investor presentation was led by Iger and Disney Parks chief Josh D’Amaro, who said that the company’s focus will be on “stories, scale and fans.”
“Today, as Disney considers future growth opportunities, there is a deep well of stories that have yet to be fully explored in its theme parks,” the company said in an investor briefing, adding that it plans to “explore even more characters and franchises, including some that haven’t been leveraged extensively to date,” at its parks around the world.
On the scale front, the company cites its existing parks and the 1,000-plus acres available to it, as well as a further expansion of its cruise line business in Asia, as well as Australia and New Zealand (markets that it will enter for the first time later this year).
“As previously announced, over the next two years, Disney will nearly double the worldwide capacity of its cruise line, adding two ships in fiscal year 2025 and another in 2026, delivering even further growth potential and introducing new markets to Disney experiences, including a new homeport in Singapore beginning in 2025 to expand its reach further into the Asia-Pacific region.” the company wrote.
