billion. Operating expenses were broadly as we estimated, while average ticket

price growth fell slightly short, but factors like the attendance boost from Tokyo Junko Yamamura AC

DisneySea’s 25th anniversary beat our expectations and total theme park (81-3) 6736-8644

attendance rose about 7% YoY (versus our +3.1% forecast) despite the adverse

• The company has made a rapid series of announcements since the start of July,

including changes to the price band structure from October, additional high-

priced tickets (the weighted average price of calendar one-day passports is set

to rise 10% YoY in October), and price hikes for some Disney Premier Access

(DPA) plans. We also think it highly likely that real-terms price hikes will take

effect around October–December due to the launch of DPA sales via advance

reservation (ticket delivery will be after New Year 2027). However, we expect

the average ticket price to fall YoY given the planned launch of nighttime

tickets and higher-education student passports for the summer.
