The Walt Disney Company opened the first theme park in European, And opens his doors at April 12, 1992,
Disney created what is the finest Magic Kingdom-style park, taking its lead from the original Disneyland in California, Almost all the classic attractions are represented here -- Pirates of the Caribbean, It's a Small World, and the coolest Big Thunder Mountain you've ever seen -- with a slight touch of French influence added to the mix.
After the first
difficult years, and a long, financial struggle, the Parisian park's
problems were over mostly, and it eventually became the most
popular tourist attraction in the continent. Disneyland
Paris gets a small profit in 1995. It change the name
twice.
The first name was EuroDisney, that changed in
October 1994 in Disneyland Paris. In March 16 2002
introduced Disneyland Paris the second theme park "Walt
Disney Studios Park" and
changed the name again in
Disneyland Resort Paris.
How do you get to Disneyland Resort
Paris?
The resort is 30 kilometers (19 miles) east of central
Paris. You can easely visit Paris.

RER line A to the Marne la Valle / Chessy station. If you coming
from England by Eurostar, there is a direct stop in the resort. Belgium
and the Netherlands by the Thalys.
What is the best time to visit the Park?
If at all possible, attempt to visit the park at one of the
three slowest periods:
Mid-January to late March (mostly cold)
Mid-April to end-Juny
Mid-September to early December
If for some reason you absolutely have to visit at one of
the busier times, make sure you go in with a game plan,
otherwise you'll likely end up missing out on some
attractions.
How do I get tickets to
Disneyland Paris?
Now, with two parks, it's usually a good idea to get a
Park Hopper pass, allowing you to jump between the
Disneyland and Walt Disney Studios parks whenever you want.
This is a good idea for anyone who only plans to spend one
day on-resort, as the best of both parks can be sampled.
Tickets can be purchased at the park, or on the official Disneyland Paris website.
Also many hotels in the neighbourhood sell park tickets,
Whatever you do, though, buy your tickets before you get to the park. No sense wasting the first couple hours of your day's visit waiting in line at the ticket booths.

Ride and restaurant reservations
at Disneyland Paris
Reservations for many of the park's table service
restaurants can be made in the Town Hall, located at Main Street USA.
And make sure to use FastPass - Disney's ride reservation system.
It's available only on the more popular rides, and allows
visitors to reserve a ride time later in the day. You can
send one person in your party ahead to the ride with
everyone's park admission tickets to get FastPasses for your
group -- you don't all have to go together to get them. Once
you get a FastPass, you may not use your admission ticket to
get another for a different ride until either the return
time for the first ride has passed or two hours have gone by,
whichever comes first. You can't pic a reservation time --
the system assigns one for you.
What's coming next to Disneyland
Paris?

Laser Blast". Other than that, a brand new daytime parade is
in development, that will premiere to the guests in honor of
the 15th anniversary celebrations in 2007.
