It was reportedly that Disney purchased the “Global Dream” at a hugely discounted price of just 40 million Euro ($41 million). The original price was closer to 1.8 billion Euros, and the ship is 75% completed. Disney will likely spend under $1 billion on the conversion, and will have no warranty claims on the ship.
