Wow ~ I hadn't realized they had changed so many timesAmy wrote:Actually, they dropped the "resort" again back in 2009. It's just "Disneyland Paris" again now. The parks being "Disneyland Park" (or "Parc Disneyland" depending on whether you're reading a French sign or the English ones) and "Walt Disney Studios Park".dstrawn9889 wrote:they generally use the word 'resort' when there is more than one operational park for you to go see on property. so when Euro Disney opened, there was the one park, hence no 'resort'... now there is also WD studios, now they add the resort to the name.
Disneyland Paris has always been odd with its name. When it first opened in 1992 it was "Euro Disney Resort" (with the park called "Euro Disneyland"). Then in 1994, they changed it to "Euro Disney Resort Paris", just in case you couldn't remember where it was (and called the park "Euro Disneyland Paris"). That lasted a year until it changed to just "Disneyland Paris" for both the whole resort and the park in 1995.
That lasted until 2002 when Walt Disney Studios Park opened and they renamed the entire place "Disneyland Resort Paris" and the main park "Disneyland Park" or "Parc Disneyland" (again, depending on which language signs/map you're reading). And finally, in 2009 they dropped the "resort", going back to just "Disneyland Paris".
Disney Village wasn't left out of the fun either. From 1992 until 1997 it was called "Festival Disney". The whole thing is documented here in a nice table: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disneyland ... me_changes
In other news... 41 days until I'm there again for a few days
I do hope you are planning on taking some photos and sharing a trip report with us when you return home [/quote]
Photos, yes. Report, probably not. I always fail to write one so I'm not even going to promise one this time
