Disney Experiences Chairman Josh D’Amaro told USA TODAY the new theme park will be “like no other park that we've built before.”

Disney will build its seventh theme park, this one in the United Arab Emirates. The waterfront resort will be built on Yas Island on the outskirts of Abu Dhabi city.

Could a Disney vacation in Abu Dhabi be a bargain compared with the American equivalent? Travelers may think of the Middle Eastern destination as a place of unbridled luxury, replete with Michelin-starred restaurants and hotels whose rates can run as high as $1 million per week.
