Scott,
The lines you are referring to are 220KV. (I'm about 95% sure)I have no idea why they were replaced so soon! I didn't give it a second thought when I saw Polk & Steinly stringing those up last year.
Disney does not have a 66KV sub so I am not sure what happened to the other circuit. Mabey it headed north and tied in with the one that runs down Ball Rd?
I am not sure of the exact distribution scheme in the new park as Steiny did that part before any of the new construction started. I do know it is a 12KV loop (similar to the old park) but I don't know how many redundant feeds. As we maintain an ongoing presence out there I'll try to find out for you. Last I knew the old park had 2 12KV circuits in a double ended lop scheme. The administration building and parking structure to the north (Ball Rd.) has it's own 12 KV circuit and distribution.

Electure,
Actually inspections out there were extremely tough. Anaheim is a tough city for electrical inspections. Your right though. Don't ever say "they will never get that by the city" out there. It's amazing what they get by with.

One other thing about theme parks. The are exempt from California's tile 24 requirements! I doubt the "power crisis" effected them at all.

I just today ran into some office furnishings with a sealtite whip that contained:
1) Black, red, blue,& green #12, with a white #10 neut.
2) For iso, #12 orange, white/orange tracer, and green/orange tracer.
Manufactured in Canada, it had both UL and CSA tags.
Go figure!
