Walt Disney World falls to 69.3% of the Orlando theme park market share, and Universal Orlando Resort raises to above 25% for the first time ever. This is the first time that Walt Disney World slipped under the 70% marker.
Universal is up from 16% in 2009. This huge shift in market share over the last 8 years is due largely to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter.
