Disneyland Paris

Disneyland Paris is a lovely holiday destination, located in Marne-la-Vallée, Paris,France. It’s the first resort owned by Disney and the second such park which was opened outside the United Sates.

Disneyland Park is visited annually by 15.3 million people, making it one of the most attractive European sites.

Foundation of the park was raised in 1988 under the direction of the construction manager Bovis. The whole process took four years to be done and in 1992 the Disneyland Paris officially opened its gates.

The idea of building the park in the town of Marne-la-Vallée was result from its proximity to Paris and also being central located in Western Europe.

Disneyland Paris is managed by French company Euro Disney S.C.A. which senior leader is the chairman and CEO Philippe Gas.

Within the Disney resort are situated two theme parks, a retail, dining and entertainment district and also seven Disney-owned hotels.

The entertainment, shopping and dining complex was created by Fank Gehry who designed it, basing on the Walt Disney World’s Downtown Disney. On June 20th 2009, the district got its first Starbucks Coffee which is actually the first Starbucks in any Disney sites all over the world.
There are 29 working restaurants within the park area and about 2,100 patio seats, providing visitors with the opportunity to enjoy their food outdoors. The food is quite diverse and mainly cooked as to meet the European tastes although it contains a lot of American cuisine.

The American influence is also felt in the construction of Disneyland Paris hotels. In 1988, Disney along with a council of architects, including Frank Gehry, Michael Graves, Robert A.M.Stern, Stanley Tigerman and Robert Venturi, decided every hotel to depict a region of the United States. In 1992 seven hotels were built with a total of 5,800 rooms. Euro Disney has the idea to demand for permission from the French government, until 2017 to be built an additional 18,200 hotel rooms.

Since 1995 Disneyland Paris resort hosted the Space Mountain-De la Terre à la Lune attraction. It contains a “cannon launch” system and an on-ride soundtrack. The amount required for its construction was estimate at 100 million dollars.
