DISNEYLAND

Having introduced people to some of the biggest stars such as Mickey, Minne, Donald and Goofy, Walt Disney decided to try his hand at a new venture. His first creation utilized his unique imagination creating a series of areas, which included rides, shows and attractions based around a given theme. Having been constructed in 1955, “Disneyland’s” Magic Kingdom opened its gates in Anaheim, California and soon became the most popular tourist attraction in America.

198

Some years later Walt turned his attention to a new project. In Florida Walt not only had plans for a new Magic Kingdom similar in design to the Californian park but for more ambitious ideas, which included an area, called E.P.C.O.T. — an Experimental Prototype Community Of Tomorrow. Sadly Walt had passed away in 1966 before the new project was opened. Having been finished by his brother Roy, “Walt Disney World’s” Magic Kingdom was opened in 1971. In the years W.D.W has grown to 3 themed parks including E.P.C.O.T. — a centre, 3 water parks, numerous hotels, a night-time entertainment and shopping complex and more.

In more recent times Disney opened a version of the Magic Kingdom in the mideighties in Tokyo again similar in design to the original Magic Kingdom built some 30 years before by Walt himself.

The company then turned their attention to Europe and after long negotiations with several sites Euro Disney opened its doors on the 12th of April, 1992. The result is 56 hectares of land, which include 6 uniquely designed on-site themed hotels, a Disney campground including hundreds of woodland cabins, a night-time entertainment complex. Being divided into 5 themed areas the park includes restaurants, shops and attractions uniquely themed to compliment the area where they are situated.

Main Street USA. It is an American street of a turn of the century completed with old cars and gas lamps.

Frontierland. Here guests can take a trip to the Wild West, where they can experience life as a cowboy.

Adventureland combines the exotic Far Eastern bazaar with the deepest jungle and a taste of the Caribbean.

Fantasyland is a home to many of Disney’s on screen characters including Snow White, Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck.

Discoveryland is a historical look at the future through the eyes of European visitors such as Jules Verne and H.G. Wells.

Disney Village is a big entertainment complex (the biggest of its kind in Europe at the moment), located between the Magic Kingdom and the hotel area.

Disney Village covers an area of 18.000 square metres and includes besides various restaurants and shops, an open air stage, a night-club, a Wild West show and a multiplex cinema.
