Well, the Walt Disney World Resort in Florida spends millions of dollars each night on their evening fireworks displays at the Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, and other parks. If they spend millions of dollars a night just to do a couple fireworks/pyrotechnics show, I'm pretty postive we can assume the cost of their electicity bill is far beyond a couple hundred thousand dollars and far beyond a couple million dollars. Especially considering the fact that they need a lot of electricity to set off all those fireworks.

It is true that Disneyland in California, Disney World in Florida, and the other Disney parks worldwide spend millions of dollars on electricity and other bills for maintenance. However, Disney also has many sponsors. For example, for a long time, EPCOT's Illuminations: Reflections of Earth show was completely sponsored by GE. Each night, before the show, the pre-recorded announcement would say, "Reflections of Earth will begin in just 15 minutes - brought to you by a generous grant by The GE Company." I recently visitied this last December, and they no longer announced that sponsorship. So other large companies help them out to help boost their own sales and profit margins. You'll also notice that all Disney World parks have one establishment which serves McDonalds food. It doesn't say McDonalds on the park map or on the website. One example is Restraunt-a-saurus in Dinoland of Animal Kingdom. There, you can find all of McDonalds food. Disney was smart to make partnerhsips with companies.

It averages out to around 4 sets of Mickey Mouse ear hats a minute.

They have their own generator/power plant underneath the park. When you're walkting about Disney, you're actually on the 3rd floor.
