Eurodisney, Disneyland Paris, Grand Opening DVD

On April 12, 1992, Euro Disney Resort and its theme park, Euro Disneyland, officially opened. Visitors were warned of chaos on the roads and a government survey indicated that half a million people carried by 90,000 cars might attempt to enter the complex.

French radio warned traffic to avoid the area. By midday, the parking lot was approximately half full, suggesting an attendance level below 25,000. Speculative explanations ranged from people heeding the advice to stay away to the one-day strike that cut the direct RER railway connection to Euro Disney from the centre of Paris

Background & development

Following the success of Disneyland in Anaheim, California and Walt Disney World in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, plans to build a similar theme park in Europe emerged in 1972. Upon the leadership of E. Cardon Walker, Tokyo Disneyland opened in 1983 in Japan with instant success, forming a catalyst for international expansion.

In late 1984 the heads of Disney's theme park division, Dick Nunis and Jim Cora, presented a list of approximately 1,200 possible European locations for the park.

This DVD features the grand opening festivities of Eurodisney. Almost 2 hours long!

My DVD's are not professional productions; they are fan produced using home VHS video recorders, 8mm and 16 mm cameras/footage, etc.

This is home video footage so the quality varies. The lengths of my DVDs vary. However, I try to keep them close to one hour. This ensures the highest quality images. Disk(s) are in plain CD/DVD enveloped and shipped in a bubble mailer.

If you have taken a vacation trip and want to have a film souvenir keepsake of the parks, rides, shows or attractions to relive the magic, this is for you!
