Asia: Parks Disney Mostly Does Not OwnNarrow moat

Walt Disney (DIS) — moat facet

Disney's foreign parks are mostly partnerships, earning a 22.1% margin, and the Asian ones turned soft in 2026.

Outside the United States, Disney's parks are mostly partnerships. It owns 48% of Hong Kong Disneyland Resort, which it consolidates, and 43% of Shanghai Disney Resort, where Shanghai Shendi owns 57%1. Tokyo Disney Resort is owned by Oriental Land Company, which pays Disney royalties, and the Abu Dhabi project announced in May 2025 is licensed to Miral2. Disneyland Paris, two parks on a 5,200-acre site, is the one large foreign resort Disney owns3.

Parks and Experiences International operating income by quarter, FY2026 ($M)428Q1227Q2369Q3Walt Disney Q1, Q2 and Q3 FY2026 earnings releases, Experiences supplemental detail
A weak spring and a soft summer in Asia.

The structure explains the numbers. International Parks and Experiences earned $1,442 million in fiscal 2025 on revenue of $6,520 million4, a 22.1% margin5, against 25.3% at home6. Partners take a share of the profit and supply a share of the capital, so Disney's brand travels further on less of its own money.

The latest year was uneven. International operating income was $428 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, $227 million in the second and $369 million in the third789, when it fell 13% against a year earlier10. Disney named the cause directly: "softness at our Asia parks, which we expect to continue in fiscal Q4"11. Disneyland Paris was the bright spot, with strong attendance after the opening of World of Frozen12.

The partnership model is a strength in a downturn, because Disney's share of the losses and the capital is smaller. It is a weakness in good times, because Disney's share of the profit is smaller too, and in China the partner is a state-owned company.

Ownership also decides who manages. In Shanghai, Disney holds 70% of the company that manages the resort even though it owns only 43% of the resort itself13. Disney runs the park; Shendi owns most of it. That arrangement keeps the guest experience Disney's while sharing the capital.

Asia is the test of whether Disney's characters carry the same pricing power everywhere. If international Parks and Experiences operating income falls for four consecutive quarters, the softness Disney described will have become a trend. It fell 13% in the latest quarter14.

Moat trajectory: Narrowing

International operating income -13% in Q3 FY2026.
