Disney's California Adventure theme park attendance 2009-2022
From California dreaming to global phenomenon
Going to an amusement and theme park is a popular leisure activity among children and adults alike. This is especially true of Disney theme parks, which ranked in the top three in terms of visitors in 2021. For more than 40 years, the current location of Disney California Adventure was used as the parking lot of Disneyland. Disneyland may have been founded as a single park by Walt Disney in Anaheim, California in 1955, but the company now operates 14 different theme parks around the world.
The big four
There are four major business segments within The Walt Disney Company - the firm’s largest segment being its media network. However, Disney’s Parks, Experiences and Products segment was founded in 1971 and has since become the company’s second-largest revenue source. The company’s other two segments are its film studio, ‘Walt Disney Studios’, for which it is possibly the most recognized for, and ‘Walt Disney Direct-to-Consumer & International’.
