Hong Kong Disneyland on Tuesday said it enjoyed its strongest ever business performance in the last fiscal year, with a record net profit of more than HK$830 million and highest ever attendance figure of 7.7 million.

The theme park said its revenue grew by more than 50 percent year-on-year to HK$8.8 billion.

Managing director Michael Moriarty said the park will be celebrating its 20th anniversary from June onwards.

“Hong Kong Disneyland's 20th anniversary is going to be one of the top mega events for the town to rally around. We're working with other partners as well who are just as excited,” he said.

“I think with our combined effort, this can be a major draw for Hong Kong arrivals, giving reasons for people to come back, not to just to Hong Kong Disneyland, but to Hong Kong.”

Moriarty said the celebrations will include the park's largest ever parade called “Friendtastic!”, and a special edition of the night show “Momentous”.

The park will also expand its Marvel-themed section and create a Pixar entertainment experience, with construction work to begin this year.

The theme park also announced a pay rise of 3.6 to 5 percent for eligible cast members, backdated to the beginning of this year.

It said eligible full-time staff will also be awarded discretionary bonuses equivalent to 1.8 to 2.4 months' worth of their base salary.
