Disney's all smiles in Paris as resort enjoys its first profit in five years

Disneyland Resort Paris, long the most troubled outpost of Disney's global empire of theme parks, is set to announce its first profit in five years this week.

On Tuesday the company is expected to unveil a profit of £8 million. Last year it made a loss of £32 million.

Its chequered history since it opened in 1992 has seen it nearly go bust, but in 2005 it raised £195 million in a restructuring and rights issue, which allowed it to build new attractions.

Chief executive Karl Holz will report revenues of up to £1 billion from £930 million last year.

Visitor numbers at Disneyland Paris and next-door Walt Disney Studios Park are expected to have risen by 15 per cent with new rides such as The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror and a stage show of the hit film High School Musical 2.
