With the variety business portfolio of the Walt Disney Company, it is exposed to fierce competitions in various industries such as the theme park industry, film industry, publishing business and retail market. In this essay, for the ease of clear and comprehensive understanding, the theme park industry will be mainly discussed due to its large proportion in the total revenues of the company annually.
The emerging of theme park industry as a consumption mode began with the opening of Disneyland in California in 1955 which was enthusiastically emulated and copied by later competitors (Clave, 2007). As a cultural creation, theme park was initially originated from the growing demands of leisure time spending and further encouraged by the increase in income for the ordinary family households. As a matter of fact, the origins of theme park dated back to the era of Industrial Revolution and facilitated by the world Exhibition but it is not until the 1950s that the this industry embraced its golden age (De Groot, 2007).

It is said that over the past two years since 2012 mort than 830 theme parks accounted for one third of the total number were established and it is also estimated that it will outnumber USA by 2020 (China Daily, 2012). However, due to the lop-sided ambition in pursuing profits while neglecting design and management, 70% of the theme parks are losing money and depend on adjacent projects such as real estates and hotels to make profits (China Daily, 2012).
