Disney domination: What's making the company money

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – If you were hoping crowds would die down at Disney's theme parks-- you will be waiting a little bit longer.

Disney reported $15.23 billion in revenue this quarter. It says the increase was driven by guest spending amid an increase in ticket prices and hotel rates. 

Occupancy for the company's hotels was down due to decreased inventory and refurbishments. 

As for new releases, Disney's films are have been big at the box office. Disney said "Avengers: Infinity War" and "Incredibles 2" both crossed the billion dollar mark.
