All four of Disney World's theme parks, and even its two water parks, suffered slight declines in 2016.

Disney detailed how Disney World attendance declined in three of the four quarters during the 2016 calendar year as the past few quarters played out.
Declines are rare for Disney -- and potentially problematic since it keeps adding more hotel rooms and timeshare rentals to its massive resort.
