Domestic theme parks’ attendance rose 4 percent in Disney’s second quarter, despite the Easter holiday falling into the current quarter. Disney benefited from a week of the winter holiday shifting into its second quarter, during which parks and resorts’ revenue rose 9 percent to $4.3 billion compared with the previous year. Operating income increased 20 percent to $750 million.
