Strike action and poor weather also led to Euro Disney posting a nine-percent drop in sales to 327 million euros ($363 million) between April and June, it said in a statement. The group added that operating costs had gone up due to efforts to "improve the visitor experience" as Disneyland Paris gears up for its 25th anniversary next year, as well as extra security costs following the attacks. Euro Disney's turnover for April-June was down 13 percent to 182 million euros, with visitor numbers dropping 11 percent and the average visitor spending two percent less.
