The Orlando park recorded 8.782 million visits, a 0.2% decline from 2024. It ranked 15th among the world’s 20 most-attended theme parks, behind Universal Studios Hollywood and ahead of Universal Orlando’s Islands of Adventure.
Magic Kingdom remained the world’s most-visited theme park, with 17.8 million visits. EPCOT recorded 12.109 million visits and Disney’s Hollywood Studios had 10.312 million. Like Animal Kingdom, each of those Walt Disney World parks was down 0.2% from the prior year.
The report, published Oct. 27 and covering the 2025 calendar year, found that all four Walt Disney World theme parks had small year-over-year declines. Disney Experiences nevertheless remained the world’s top theme park operator, according to the report, which was produced by the Themed Entertainment Association with Entertainment + Culture Advisors and The Park Database.

At Disney World’s water parks, Blizzard Beach saw the biggest percentage change. Its attendance reached 1.35 million, up 50% from 2024, placing it 13th globally and fourth in North America. Mickey Visit attributed part of that increase to Blizzard Beach operating for roughly six months in 2025, compared with 4.5 months in 2024, and to Disney’s check-in-day water park admission offer for overnight hotel guests.
Typhoon Lagoon drew 1.76 million visitors, down 3% year over year, but ranked sixth among water parks worldwide and first in North America.
