International Parks and Resorts

At our international parks and resorts, revenue growth was due to the favorable impact of foreign currency translation as a result of the weakening of the U.S. dollar against the Euro, higher theme park attendance, hotel occupancy and guest spending at Disneyland Resort Paris. These increases were partially offset by lower theme park attendance and guest spending at the Hong Kong Disneyland Resort.

International Parks and Resorts

International revenue growth reflected the first full year of theme park operations at Hong Kong Disneyland Resort as compared to the prior year when the park opened in mid-September 2005. Disneyland Resort Paris also experienced increased revenues, however this increase was more than offset by the unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation as a result of the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the Euro.

Costs and Expenses

Costs and expenses increased 7%, or $547 million primarily due to increased volume-related costs and costs associated with new guest offerings and attractions at the domestic resorts, and higher operating costs at Hong Kong Disneyland Resort reflecting a full year of theme park operations. These increases were partially offset by the absence of pre-opening costs at Hong Kong Disneyland Resort, lower costs at Disneyland Resort Paris due to the favorable impact of foreign currency translation adjustments as a result of the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the Euro, and the benefit from adjustments to actuarially determined workers compensation and guest claims liabilities based on favorable claims experience at the domestic resorts.

Segment Operating Income

Segment operating income increased 30%, or $356 million, to $1.5 billion primarily due to continued strength at both domestic resorts, led by the success of the 50th anniversary celebration, the first year of operations at Hong Kong Disneyland Resort, and improvements at Disneyland Resort Paris.

International Parks and Resorts

Hong Kong Disneyland revenue growth reflects the first full nine months of theme park operations as compared to the prior year when the park was not yet open. Revenue growth at Hong Kong Disneyland was partially offset by a decline in revenue at Disneyland Resort Paris due to the unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation as a result of the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the Euro.

Costs and Expenses

Costs and expenses increased 8%, or $452 million primarily due to higher operating expenses at the domestic resorts driven by increased volumes and costs associated with new guest offerings and new attractions associated with the 50th anniversary celebration. In addition, higher costs reflected the first full nine months of theme park operations at Hong Kong Disneyland, partially offset by a decline in expenses at Disneyland Resort Paris due to the favorable impact of foreign currency translation as a result of the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the Euro.

Segment Operating Income

Segment operating income increased 31%, or $269 million, to $1.1 billion due to growth at both of our domestic resorts driven by the success of the 50th anniversary celebration of Disneyland.
