Disneyland’s yearlong Diamond Celebration has been a big hit for the Walt Disney Co.

Continuing the trend from previous quarters, Disney on Thursday reported domestic theme park attendance at Walt Disney World, Disneyland and Disney California Adventure was up 15percent for the fiscal fourth quarter, June 28 to Oct. 3, and 7 percent for the year, mostly driven by the crush of guests visiting the Anaheim theme park.

“Disneyland in particular saw very strong attendance growth due to tremendous excitement for the 60th anniversary celebration,” said Christine McCarthy, CFO at Disney.

Disneyland turned 60 on July 17.

The Diamond Celebration began May 22 and is expected to last through early September.

Operating profits for the Parks and Resorts division grew 7 percent to $738 million in the quarter, compared with a year earlier.

Revenues for the parks unit rose 10 percent, to $4.4billion.

McCarthy said higher attendance, increased guest spending on merchandise and Disney U.S. hotel occupancy drove growth in the quarter.

However, Disney’s Asian parks saw a decrease with Hong Kong Disneyland Resort reporting lower attendance and Shanghai Disney Resort seeing pre-opening expenses that were higher than expected.

Companywide, Disney said its revenue grew 9 percent to $13.5 billion in the quarter. Net income was up 7 percent, to $1.6 billion.

For the full year, revenue was up 7 percent, to $52.5billion, and net income rose 12 percent to $8.4billion. Profits were driven by strong studio performance from the movies “Inside Out” and “Ant-Man.”

“We had a strong quarter,” Disney Chief Executive Bob Iger said, adding that it was the fifth consecutive year of record performance.
