Domestic Resorts

Operating income growth at the domestic businesses was primarily due to increased guest spending and theme park attendance at the Walt Disney World Resort and higher revenues at Disney Vacation Club, partially offset by higher operating costs at the Walt Disney World Resort. Increased guest spending was due to higher average daily hotel room rates, higher average ticket prices and increased food and beverage spending.
