Disney has revealed that the 2024 hurricane season caused a loss of approximately $120 million due to reduced theme park attendance and the temporary shutdown of some operations, according to the company’s quarterly financial report.
During an earnings call on Wednesday, The Walt Disney Company reported domestic theme park revenue of $6.43 billion but attributed weaker-than-expected park attendance income in the second half of 2024 to the weather.
“Domestic parks and experiences’ operating results for the current quarter were unfavorably impacted by Hurricane Milton and, to a lesser extent, Hurricane Helene. As a result of Hurricane Milton, Walt Disney World Resort was closed for a day, and we canceled a cruise itinerary,” Disney said in a statement.
