Is Walt Disney World the only Disney park built on top of a "utilidor" complex?

Question

I would think that since building WDW they would have found a much more cost effective way to obscure and transport things about the park. WDW also required the utilidors because of the water table level in Florida. Tokyo and Hong Kong both seem like they would have similar problems.

Answer 1

Actually all the Disney parks utilize an underground network of tunnels.  Walt did not want the public to see the behind-the-scenes functions of his creations, to enhance the experience of being in a fantasy land.

This is also why most the queues for the rides are hidden or disguised from the outside.

Edit: While the DL system may not be called "utilidor," it does utilize an underground system of tunnels. I have used the system to go from the DL hotel (where the orignal Copmany D used to be) to the park, and to DCA.

Answer 2

I beleive that only Epcot has a very small utilidor.  Starting wiht Epcot, parks were designed so that cast members could access them from around the periemeter, rather than having to go through them, which solved Walt's problem.

Answer 3

The Colliseum in Rome had something of a utilidor design concept.  But, as to your specific question - Epcot Center partially employs utilidor.

Answer 4

The only Disney Theme Park that has an entire network of tunnels(Utilidors) is the Magic Kingdom at WDW.  Other parks have sections of tunnels but none that cover the entire park.
