Disney Parks May Set Attendance Records Again?

This would be highly unexpected since many thought they couldn't top the Disneyland Golden Anniversary celebration a couple of years ago. But it appears that there's a possibility that the Disney theme park attendance in the US may set a new attendance record.

Walt Disney Co., the world's biggest theme-park operator, may post record attendance at its U.S. resorts this fiscal year as new attractions have lured more visitors, Chief Executive Officer Robert Iger said Tuesday.

Attendance in fiscal 2007, which ends in two weeks, may exceed the record number of tickets sold in 2006, when all Disney's parks celebrated the 50th anniversary of Disneyland, the company's first theme park, Iger told a Goldman, Sachs & Co. conference in New York.

Oooh.. the Fiscal 2007 ends in 2 weeks? Then MY attendance at WDW may help! :)

I would say that if it includes Oct. 1st, the date of Epcot's anniversary celebration, then breaking the record is certainly a possibility. It would also be a stunning accomplishment considering that the Year of a Million Dreams promotion wasn't as clear and as distinct at the Disneyland anniversary, yet many still come. It shows how much new attractions (that is what I attribute it to) at the various theme parks can really boost interest.
