How much do you think Disney pays for celebrity cameos in attractions?

Disney seems to get some really great celebrities to make cameos, whether it's just their voice or hosting an entire attraction. How much do you think Disney pays them to be a part of the 'Magic' for the countless years an attraction runs?

Just for reference, here's some great celeb appearances:
Tim Curry - S.I.R. Alien Encounter
Ellen Degeneres - UoE, Ellen's Energy Adventure
Judi Dench - SSE Narrator
The ENTIRE cast of Cranium Command
The ENTIRE cast of Body Wars
Eric Idle - JIYIwF

I think Ellen was on ABC's payroll at the time UoE was re-done. Maybe they put it in the fine print of her contract. lol

I'm sure they're all paid well though it would be interesting to find out if any of them might be closet Disneyphiles who got more out of the work than the pay.

I figured people doing stuff for movie tie-ins weren't getting a huge chunk (i.e. Ellen for/in Nemo, Johnny Depp for/in PotC). I was more curious about the ones that aren't on Disney payroll. There's plenty of WDW cameos that are (as far as I know) pure cameos.

Drew Carrey is a huge Disney fan and apparently had tried for a very long time to get to be part of an attraction. Shame that the one they finally gave him is so awful. But apparently he frequently visits the parks and wears a disguise, because he likes to just walk around like a "regular" guest.

Add Gary Sinise, Shoreh Agdashloo (Mission: Space) and Phylicia Rashad (Dinosaur) to the list of celebrity appearances in attractions, as well.

More then what it is worth, we would all go and see this even with Joe Blow off the street and enjoy it! So unless it was for free park tickets it is more then what they are worth! Just my two cents?
