Which are the only Disney parks that are not wholly or jointly owned by the Walt Disney Company? Who owns them?

The only parks in which Disney has no ownership interest at all are Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo Disney Sea. They are owned and operated by Oriental Land Company.

Just as a bit of trivia, Disneyland and Walt Disney World are wholly owned by Disney.

Hong Kong Disneyland is owned and operated by Hong Kong International Theme Parks Ltd, which is an incorporated company jointly owned by The Walt Disney Company and the Government of Hong Kong, founded in 1999. At the start, the Hong Kong Government held a 57% stake, while The Walt Disney Company had 43%. But after the expansion plans were announced in 2009, when The Walt Disney Company invested HK$3.63 billion (US$465 million), Hong Kong Government's holdings were reduced to 52% while The Walt Disney Company's shares increased to 48%.

Disneyland Paris is owned and operated by French company Euro Disney S.C.A., a public company of which 39.78 percent of its stock is held by The Walt Disney Company, 10 percent by the Saudi Prince Alwaleed and 50.22 percent by other shareholders.
