Additionally, Disney revealed that Spider-Man: Brand New Day had a record-breaking opening weekend.

The live-action Moana has already been released, and the rest of 2026 will bring us some more Disney movies, including Hexed around Thanksgiving and Avengers: Doomsday in December.

We got the opening of the revamped Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, refurbished Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin, a new mission on Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run, Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring the Muppets, Walt Disney Studios courtyard, and Soarin’ Across America. (How did that ALL happen in the last few months?!)

So how did the parks division perform? For this latest quarter, Disney announced that global park attendance grew by 4%. It’s no surprise that everyone showed up for all these new rides!

Disney has some major projects in the works when it comes to the theme parks and cruising, including several brand new cruise ships, a new Villains land for Magic Kingdom, a new Cars land for Magic Kingdom, Monstropolis for Hollywood Studios, Pueblo Esperanza for Animal Kingdom, a new hotel, and MUCH more.

There are a few interesting things to note about this earnings call. First, this latest quarter (Q3) was the first entirely led by Josh D’Amaro as Disney’s newest CEO.

Second, this earnings call was held just days before one of the biggest Disney events of the year — D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event. That event will be taking place on August 13th-15th in Anaheim, and Disney could drop some MAJOR theme park and entertainment news.
