Disney Parks and Resorts top most checked-in places on Facebook for 2015

In Facebook’s nifty “Year in Review” feature released this week, the site revealed the top places that its 1.55 billion users checked in globally in 2015. Of course, Disney Parks and Resorts headed the list! And with having garnered the top spot last year and having five resorts across the world, it comes to no surprise.

Wondering what the runner-up was? Here’s the full list:

1. Disney Properties

2. Universal Studios Properties

3. Times Square, New York City

4. Eiffel Tower

5. Niagara Falls

6. Siam Paragon

7. Grand Canyon National Park

8. Yosemite National Park

9. The Louvre

10. Central Park

11. Beto Carrero World

12. Warner Bros. Studio Tour London

13. Gardens by the Bay

14. Marina Bay Sands

15. Ibirapuera Park

16. Hollywood Walk of Fame

17. Madison Square Park

18. Santa Monica Pier

19. Camp Nou

20. Expo Milano 2015

The same trend was also seen on the mobile photo–sharing app, Instagram, this year with Disney and Universal theme parks being the top two most geotagged locations. Undoubtedly, social networks like Facebook and Instagram are a great marketing tool for gauging public interest and engaging with consumers. It is also an excellent platform for creating communities with shared interests like, for example, going to Disneyland.

As we head into the new year and with Hogwarts Castle coming to Hollywood, do you think Disney will hold onto its number one spot? (We’re looking at you, Universal).
