Walt Disney's quarterly revenue beat analysts' expectations, helped by increased spending by visitors at its theme parks and higher ad sales and affiliate fees in its media networks business.
Revenue at Disney theme parks rose 6% to $3.76 billion, pushing up the unit's operating income 24%.
Ticket prices and hotel room rates increased and visitors spent more on food, drinks and merchandise, the company noted.
Total revenue rose 7% to $12.46 billion in the second quarter ended March 28.
Walt Disney's media networks business, which includes sports station ESPN, the Disney channels and ABC, reported a 13% rise in revenue to $5.81 billion.
Higher programming and production costs at ESPN, however, pushed operating income down 2%.
The company's movie studio produced the animated super-hero hit 'Big Hero 6', but could not keep pace with the quarter the same time last year, which benefitted from box-office phenomenon 'Frozen'.
Revenue at the studio dropped 6% to $1.69 billion. The studio is expected to benefit from its newest blockbuster, 'The Avengers: Age of Ultron' in the current quarter.
The sequel opened with $191m in ticket sales in the US and Canada - the second-biggest of all time.
Walt Disney's consumer products division, which contributed about 8% to total revenue, reported a 10% rise in sales, helped by higher demand for 'Frozen' toys and merchandise.
Net income attributable to Walt Disney rose to $2.11 billion, or $1.23 per share, from $1.92 billion, or $1.08 per share.
Analysts on average had expected a profit of $1.11 per share and revenue of $12.25 billion, according to Thomson Reuters.
Disney's shares have climbed about 38% in the past year.
