Disney World Strikes Back in 2026 | The Motley Fool

Disney World strikes back in 2026 marks a strategic push to refresh gate attractions, with new experiences officially opening across Disney's four theme parks. The move comes as competition with Universal’s Epic Universe accelerates, after its late-May opening last year boosted visitor interest. Comcast’s theme parks segment benefited from Epic Universe with a top-line gain of 19% in the corresponding period, while Disney’s Parks and Experiences unit posted an 8% revenue rise in the June quarter and a 6% rise in September, with operating income up 13% in both quarters. Highlights include Bluey, Jessie and Woody, Goofy, and a Disney Jr.-themed show across the parks, all designed for comfort in hot Florida conditions.
