During today’s Q4 2024 earnings call for The Walt Disney Company, Senior Executive Vice President & Chief Financial Officer Hugh Johnston shared a new outlook on how the opening of Epic Universe could impact Walt Disney World.

Epic Universe and Walt Disney World Park Attendance

During the call, Johnston shared that the opening of Epic Universe on May 22, 2025, was modeled into their projected outlook for Disney Parks & Experiences, which anticipates full-year operating income growth for the segment to be in the 6%-8% range.

Per Johnston, the early bookings to vacation at Walt Disney World Resort next summer, around the opening of Epic Universe, “are positive.” Johnston also indicated that historically, other theme parks in Florida have been beneficial for Walt Disney World.

This quarter’s revenue for Disney Parks & Experiences was $8.24 billion, up from $8.16 billion in Q4 2023.
