BACKSTORY (April 12, 1992–Present): Disneyland Paris is a resort complex just outside of Paris, in Marne-la-Vallée, France. It was the first of two parks built at the resort. Operated by the French company Euro Disney S.C.A., the park was designed and built by Walt Disney Imagineering and the park’s layout and attractions are similar to Disneyland in Anaheim, California and the Magic Kingdom at the Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida. With a size of 140 acres, Disneyland Paris is the largest Disney park based on the original in California.
