In what year did Disneyland Paris open?

Disneyland Paris opened in 1992. Its first park, then called Euro Disneyland, officially opened on April 12, 1992, in Marne-la-Vallée, about 32 kilometers east of central Paris.

The resort was Disney’s second major theme-park resort outside the United States, following Tokyo Disney Resort’s 1983 opening. Disney designed the European park with familiar lands and characters but adapted details for local expectations, including a larger Sleeping Beauty Castle and extensive indoor facilities suited to the region’s weather.

The opening was ambitious but difficult. A transportation strike affected access on launch day, attendance fell below forecasts, and the resort soon faced financial problems during the early-1990s recession. The complex also changed names several times: it began as Euro Disney Resort, became Disneyland Paris in 1994, was called Disneyland Resort Paris from 2002 to 2009, and returned to Disneyland Paris. Its second theme park opened in 2002.
