Disney Parks Dominate Global Competition


Samantha Levine joined New York City’s Department of Education in 1998 as a teacher. Her primary responsibilities involve developing and executing lesson plans to help students improve in the areas of reading, writing, and math. In her free time, teacher Samantha Levine is a travel enthusiast. She has spent time in many countries and US states, and has a strong fondness for Walt Disney World, particularly the Epcot and Hollywood Studios parks.

In 2017, Walt Disney amusement parks once again beat out global competition for the title of most popular parks in the world. Despite a 0.5 percent decrease in attendance compared to 2016, Disney parks attracted more than 20 million visitors, a sizable portion of the 233 million total individuals who visited theme parks for the year. Disney parks throughout the United States and Japan represented seven of the 10 highest grossing parks in 2017, and 12 of the top 25. Universal Studios, Disney’s primary competition, had four parks in the top 25.

The Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, stood as the single most popular park for 2017, while its Anaheim, California, counterpart, Disneyland, ranked second overall. Tokyo Disney Sea, Epcot at Walt Disney World, Disney’s Animal Kingdom, and Disney’s Hollywood Studios occupied the fifth through eighth positions, respectively.
