Disney Parks

Disney Parks appears in this guide with 12 parks in the United States, France, Japan and Hong Kong: 8 theme parks, 2 studio parks and 2 water parks. 10 of them are in the world-class tier; the two strong regional parks are the Disney's Typhoon Lagoon and Disney's Blizzard Beach water parks. All of them are aimed first at mixed groups, and all sit at the top rough price level.

Among the chains in this guide, Disney covers the most countries and has the most world-class parks: 10 of them across four countries. Universal targets the same mixed groups at the same price level, but its parks here are all in the United States. Six Flags differs with amusement parks built for thrill seekers, and LEGOLAND with theme parks for families with young children.
