Around the globe, as leisure choices are increasing worldwide, Disney destinations are a source of high-quality entertainment. In France, Disneyland Resort Paris is the No. 1 tourist attraction in Europe. The 15th anniversary celebration at the Park truly resonated with Guests, contributing to strong attendance and revenue growth. New attractions, like Crush's Coaster and Cars Race Rally at the Walt Disney Studios Park, demonstrated to Guests how creativity and innovation combine to create true Disney magic. In 2008, The Twilight Zone™ Tower of Terror will dare Guests to board a mysterious hotel freight elevator that hurtles them through the "fourth dimension" as they plummet 13 floors.
Tourism is strengthening throughout Asia, where Hong Kong Disneyland Resort has been enhancing the Guest experience since it opened just two years ago. The recent expansion of Tomorrowland and last year's introduction of new offerings such as Mickey's WaterWorks Parade and Animation Academy, coupled with this year's opening of the classic Disney attraction it's a small world, reinforces our longterm commitment and excitement for what the future holds for Hong Kong Disneyland Resort. These new attractions and shows are resonating with Guests, as the Park records high Guest satisfaction ratings.
It's a small world will bring even more enjoyment to Park Guests with new scenes exclusive to Hong Kong and, for the first time, more than 30 beloved Disney characters seamlessly blended with the attraction's world-renowned small world dolls.
In Japan, Tokyo Disney Resort continues to grow its successful business and will kick off its 25th anniversary celebration this April. The extravaganza, titled Unlock Your Wishes, promises Guests the realization of dreams they've always had in their hearts. Highlights of the year-long event include a spectacular new daytime parade, the opening of the luxurious Tokyo Disneyland Hotel and a new theater built exclusively for Cirque du Soleil – the first permanent Cirque du Soleil venue outside North America.
