Disneyland Paris Profit Slides 45% Despite Record Revenue as Deferred Debts Come Due

Management points to legacy liabilities from the park’s early financing structure.

Overview

  • Disneyland Paris reported profit of $98.2 million for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025, a decline of 45.3% from the prior year.
  • The resort recorded a record $3.5 billion in revenue, up 7.4%, reflecting strong attendance and spending tied to recent expansions.
  • Company statements link the profit drop primarily to debt-service timing and liabilities dating back decades.
  • The resort originated as a public–private partnership with the French government and accumulated significant debt, later refinanced as Disney took full control in 2014.
  • A $2.1 billion expansion launched after 2017—adding Avengers Campus and a Frozen-themed land, with a Lion King area planned—has helped lift the top line despite the bottom-line pressure.
