Disney Park Construction Costs

[Valentine]

I'm curious about how much all the different Disney parks cost to construct, not just the WDW parks, but parks worldwide. Does anyone have these adjusted for inflation too? Just so we can compare the expense each cost.

So far, I have found out:

EPCOT Center: $1.4 billion
Disney's Animal Kingdom: $800 million (is this correct?)
Tokyo DisneySea: $3.3 billion

Anyone know the others?

Remember that Disney didn't pay for much of DisneySea.

I thinkl your Epcot number is closer to the original estimate then the actual price. I thought it ended up around 2 billion.

Yeah, I know Disney didn't pay much for DisneySea. Pretty interesting the costs though aren't they? The new US parks only get a third of the Japan second gate.

And the quality shows.

I didn't know that! Oh, Sea of Dreams, Sea of Wonder, Sea of Dreams, Yume wa...

By the way, was Tokyo affected by the Disney Parks/YOAMD campaign?

Unadjusted, EPCOT Center was $1.2billion - double the original estimate. There was also $120million for FY 82-83 on top of that to add to what people would call `phase one` - the actual Imagaination ride, Horizons, and R&D on other pavilions, though it is unclear if Africa was included. The Seas was removed from the rota in April 1982. But I digress.... If I`ve used these online calculators right, adjusted EPCOT Center today would have cost $2.66 billion.

Disneyland Parc at DLP was above the $1.9billion figure in 1992, and WDSP cost $600m to open. Total Disneyland Paris costs to date are around $8 billion.

I was just about to say that. :lol:

Yes... it DOES! Look at Tokyo DisneySea... and then look at AK. Big difference!
