Disney World park tickets redeemable at other Disney parks around theworld?

I have days left on my non-expiring park hopper disney world pass. Can
I use these at DisneyLand and other Disney parks around like world
like Hong Kong Disney and Euro Disney?

I've gotten conflicting messages from Disney personnel over the phone--
some say you can; some say you can't. Which is it?

Thanks Jack.

Who does own the non-US Disney resorts? Is it a mish-mash of private
investors? I'm surprised Disney would relinquish control to that
degree. I realize they do a lot of leases to non-Disney companies in
the WDW parks for various hotels and restaurants. Didn't think they
franchised entire parks.

Actually, Disney Travel Company owns the semi-offsite resorts, and
leases them out to companies to operate. The operators have changed a
couple of times in the roughly 30 years that they have been in
existence. Disney keeps some serious controls on what these resorts
can do.

Of course, I'm assuming you're talking about the DTD resorts, or thw
Swalphin. Some place like the Marriot Maingate is owned by (last time
I looked) Florida Inns and operated by Marriot.

That is the case for Paris and Hong Kong, but I'm fairly certain that Disney
does not own any actual interest (in whole or in part) in the Tokyo parks.
They just get a percentage of the profits as a kind of "licensing fee".
Oriental Land Company is the primary/complete owner of the Tokyo properties.

I don't believe that Disney even *could* own the Tokyo parks even if they
wanted to. I read somewhere that it's Japanese law that non-Japanese
citizens and non-Japanese companies cannot own land in Japan. Only Japanese
citizens and companies.
