Disney in France is currently called Disneyland® Paris.
The Evolution of Disney in France
Disneyland® Paris is a renowned entertainment resort that has undergone a few name changes since its inception. Originally, the project began to take shape after Disney signed an agreement with French authorities in 1987 to establish a major theme park destination.
-
Initial Conception and Opening: The resort officially opened its gates to visitors in 1992 under the name Euro Disney. This marked a significant milestone, bringing the magic of Disney to Europe on a grand scale.
-
Name Change to Disneyland® Resort Paris: Just two years after its grand opening, in 1994, the resort underwent its first major rebranding. It changed its name from Euro Disney to Disneyland® Resort Paris. This adjustment aimed to better reflect the full scope of the resort, which includes not just a theme park but also hotels, dining, and entertainment options. Over time, it has become widely known simply as Disneyland® Paris.
