    D. Disney's licensing partner, the Oriental Land Company, reaping the windfall, since the partner who bore the risk was also likely to be the biggest beneficiary from any upside gain.

    Explanation:

    The Japanese Disneyland is the first in the world to be opened under a licensing agreement. All other Disneylands are fully or partially owned by Disney. However, for the Tokyo one, Disney only receives a royalty fee, which is common for licensing agreements.

    On the other hand, the Oriental Land Company reaps the benefits of the already stable Disneyland business model. Disney does control the creative part, but the operating is under the Oriental Land Company, meaning they would largely benefit from this licensing agreement.
