In the past century, Disney has solidified itself as the undisputed leader in theme park attendance. Disney’s various theme parks are annually ranked among the top-visited parks in the world with the Magic Kingdom and Disneyland occupying the top two spots.

On the eve of a new Disney park bringing magic to the people of China, I thought it would be fun to take a look at just how many people actually visit Disney parks each year. Here is a quick rundown of what I was able to find for annual Disney park attendance.

For many more Disney statistics (close to 600 of them), please visit this post.

Please note that some of these Disney parks attendance figures are easier to find than others, so some of these are based on news reports and not official company tallies. All stats are linked to their source unless it was sent to me directly from the company. No stat listed should be considered in making any type of investment decision. In other words: This is the best I can find, but I don’t guarantee anything.
