       This is the place to dream of going to Disneyland Paris covers 138 acres and constructed in accordance with other Disney parks, which makes provision familiar to people who have been to other parks in Orlando, Tokyo and Anaheim. Disneyland Paris consists of two theme parks, retail, restaurants, entertainment and seven Disney-owned hotels. This is the second resort to open outside the United States - the first was in Tokyo - but is the first owned and operated by Disney. Disneyland Paris is located in a prime location, its near the capital, but is just outside, but with that said the option of staying where are endless, you can choose to stay at Disney, but a more expensive option, is to live without her. Being close to Paris that you can find different places, some might say the best villas in France.

       Disneyland in Anaheim has been so successful that plans to build a European expansion was afoot. They started around 1975, by chance, nine years after Walt Disney died. The countries of Great Britain, Italy, Spain and France have all been considered as possible locations, but Great Britain and Italy were quickly removed from the list of potential sites because they no had not extended the necessary large flat ground. It was thought that the most probable location would be the area of Alicante, Spain, because it had an atmosphere that was like Florida for most of the year, but it was excluded, and because of the Mistral. After much won Marne-la-Vallee, France location because of its proximity to Paris (the capital of France) and because of its central location in Western Europe. They thought it would be crucial to the future success of the park if it was to attract enough visitors. It was calculated that the park location is within 4 hours (driving) for about 68 million people and 2 hours (flight) for more than 200 million.


       The Executive Director of The Walt Disney Company at the time, signed Michael Eisner, the first letter of understanding with the French government in December 1985 and Robert Fitzpatrick, a key organizer of the Olympic Games in Los Angeles in 1984 was designated as Euro Disney President, when the park finally began to take shape with the construction of 2,000 hectares in August 1988.

       In 1990, Euro Disney Disney Area (relay) was opened to the public to show that Disney was building. It was followed by the opening of the center of pouring the September 1, 1991 to begin recruiting hundreds of Cast Members who would eventually lead to many attractions of the park. In March 1992 Euro Disney opened to employees to test also the main authors and their families were invited. The park finally opened in April 12, 1992, but the forecast of 500,000 expected visitors were wrong that nearly 50,000 people are - this is partly due to the protests of French local who felt this would be a shame French culture. Overall it was a disappointing start to the Disney company.

       Continued misery that the first phase of park development went on the budget and cost 22 billion French francs to fill, and the attendance figures for the next few months did not improve much. At that time, in May in the Park alone has attracted about 25,000 visitors per day instead of 60,000 as expected. During the next year things were worse, which was not helped by a recession in Europe, which affected the prices of goods in 1992, and the dollar was cheap, most abandon Europe for Park Florida. There were other problems in early 1994 the company had serious financial difficulties, which led to a meeting with banks and lenders and banks have agreed to help keep them stable in recent years.
