Here are a few highlights:

$2.1 billion in quarterly income which was $35 million more than the same quarter last year
$12.9 billion in quarterly revenue which was $500 million more than the same quarter last year
Slightly lower revenue (minus $20 million) from media networks (cable & broadcast) from the same quarter last year
4% increase in revenue from parks and resorts from the same quarter last year
22% increase in revenue from studio entertainment from the same quarter last year
2% decrease in revenue from consumer products & interactive media from the same quarter last year (see also RIP Disney Infinity)
They saw an increase in attendance at Disneyland Resort, but a “modest decrease” in Walt Disney World Resort attendance

There is much to look forward to in the next quarter for Disney with Shanghai Disneyland’s opening, Captain America: Civil War and Finding Dory reaching blockbuster status, Disney Springs’ expansion and a Disney’s growing presence in the mobile gaming market just a few of the headlines for FY2016 Q3.
