HONG KONG DISNEYLAND
ANNUAL BUSINESS REVIEW
FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 2014
KEY HIGHLIGHTS
Hong Kong Disneyland’s (“HKDL”) attendance and guest spending for fiscal
20141 were the highest in the resort’s history, marking its fifth consecutive
year of record performance.
During the year, the resort reached a significant milestone when it welcomed
its 50 millionth guest since its grand opening in 2005.
The resort generated record revenues of HK$5,466 million, up 12% from prior
year, and record net profit of HK$332 million, up 36% from prior year.
HKDL remains focused on growing its business and establishing its brand as
the premier vacation, entertainment and convention destination in the region.
The resort continues to plan and roll out new entertainment offerings and
attractions following the successful completion of the expansion of three
themed areas with the opening of Mystic Point in May 2013. In October 2014,
HKDL launched “Disney Paint the Night”, the first ever fully LED nighttime
spectacular. Other offerings to be rolled out include the upcoming 10th
anniversary of HKDL in late 2015, a new themed area based on Marvel’s Iron
Man franchise that is currently under construction and is targeted to launch in
late 2016, and a new 750-room resort-style hotel that is also under
construction and targeted to open by early 2017.
BUSINESS OVERVIEW
HKDL develops and operates the Disney-branded theme park, themed hotels and
associated complex and infrastructure on Lantau Island in Hong Kong. HKDL is
