In 2003, after a five-year period of unprecedented development, Walt Disney Parks and Resorts entered its next strategic phase, dedicated to driving growth through a combination of initiatives designed to increase returns on existing assets and reach new markets.

Since 1998, the legendary artists and engineers at Walt Disney Imagineering have created a record four new theme parks, and in the process, transformed all of Disney’s resorts around the globe into multi-day vacation destinations, complete with world-class lodging, shopping, diverse daytime and nighttime entertainment and at least two Disney parks.

Over the next several years, Walt Disney Parks and Resorts will continue to grow by making strategic investments in its entertainment offerings at these properties, building closer relationships with millions of resort guests and exploring new ways to bring the Disney vacation experience to a broader audience.
