Disney is celebrating Earth Month with a closer look at the new and existing solar projects across its theme park portfolio.
Starting with Walt Disney World in Florida, four solar projects can now produce up to 100 percent of the daytime power needs of the entire resort.
Its new solar facility, a 74,500-kilowatt, 484-acre site in Levy County, Florida, is now supplying clean electricity to the resort.
It has joined Walt Disney World's 'Hidden Mickey' solar array, a 5,000-kilowatt installation shaped like Mickey Mouse near Epcot, as well as two additional solar projects in Florida.
By using renewable energy, Disney World is reducing annual greenhouse gas emissions by more than 140,000 metric tonnes.
This is equivalent to powering 19,000 homes' energy use for one year, charging 15 billion smartphones, or powering the resort's monorail for 34 years, Disney said in a blog post.
At Disneyland in California, the Tri-Circle-D Ranch is now powered by renewable electricity through a new solar and battery storage system, and the park's Radiator Springs Racers is powered by 1,400 solar panels.
In addition, the resort now sources 60 percent of its electricity from renewable energy sources.
Hong Kong Disneyland recently completed phase two of Hong Kong's first and largest solar car park canopy, which spans 80 parking spaces and features nearly 400 bifacial solar panels.
And, as of late 2025, all applicable backstage rooftops and facades across Shanghai Disney Resort have installed solar panels, generating a combined 5.2 GWh of green electricity.
Tokyo Disney Resort has installed solar panels at 10 rooftop locations and will continue to expand its solar power infrastructure via planned annual installations.
Over at Disneyland Paris, the resort has completed Europe's largest solar canopy plant, which covers more than 11,200 guest parking spaces and features over 80,000 panels across 20 hectares.
Since becoming fully operational in December 2023, the plant produces 36 GWh of electricity each year, which is equivalent to the energy use of a town of more than 17,400 people.
As for Disney Cruise Line's Castaway Cay and Lookout Cay destinations, power is generated through on-site solar panel arrays.
