The company pointed to a recent “adverse environment” as the cause behind the decline, Express reported.
Disney's announcement comes as the region acknowledged the one-year anniversary of the terror attacks in Paris in November of last year where 130 people were killed.
In July, at least 84 people were killed in Nice during Bastille Day celebrations.
It’s not just Disneyland that’s experienced the tourism decline, however. By August, the city of Paris reportedly lost $850 million in tourism revenue.
