ORLANDO, Fla. -- More people visited Disney's U.S. theme parks in the last 12 months than any previous year in history, according to officials.
The company said attendance numbers this year will likely surpass its record-breaking 2006 totals that were given a boost as the parks celebrated Disneyland's 50th birthday.
Disney CEO Rober Iger said new attractions, including the Expedition Everest at Disney's Animal Kingdom theme park , have helped with this year's bottom line.
Revenue in the first six months of 2007 was up more than 6 percent.
