Fun facts
- Disneyland Paris opened on April 12, 1992, originally under the name Euro Disney Resort — it faced significant cultural backlash in France at the time.
- Le Château de la Belle au Bois Dormant includes a walk-through dragon's lair beneath the castle — a feature unique to the Paris park.
- Big Thunder Mountain in Paris is built on an island surrounded by Rivers of the Far West, giving it a dramatically different setting from any other version.
- Disneyland Park is the most visited theme park in Europe, with about 10.2 million visits in 2024 according to the TEA/AECOM attendance report.
- The park's Imagineers deliberately chose a more storybook-Gothic architectural style for the castle and lands, responding to European design sensibilities.
