Disneyland It is a multinational company and has built "branches" in other parts of the world, so people do not always have to travel to the United States to enjoy the fantastic parks.
Yes, yes, the parks in America are the best but to have a sample we can, for example, visit Disneyland Paris.
Disney Land Paris
It seems that the idea of building parks outside the United States began to roll in the 70s after the success of the parks that existed here at that time. However, the European version of them would only arrive in the early 90s. A decade earlier it was Disneyland Tokyo's turn to consider in which European country the European edition could be advantageously built.
By then there were two possible destinations: Spain and France. Both countries were touristy, enjoyed good weather and were well located in relation to the rest of Europe. It goes without saying that France won the arm wrestling although the situation was not without controversy: Cultural imperialism? Americanization of Europe? and that kind of thing.
Whatever, the Euro Disney Resort finally opened its doors in 1992. The first times were difficult and the visits did not reach the number expected by the company, but little by little the situation began to change, as did the name of the park, and that is how we continue to this day. Disney Land Paris It is not even remotely what its older brothers are, but it is still as close to Disney as we can get without catching a plane.
Visit Disneyland Paris
Inside there are different theme parks: it is Disneyland Park, Walt Disney Studios Park and Disney Village. Inside there is also a complex of seven Disney hotels and six other hotels associated but not managed by the company.
El park is in Mame la Vallèe - Chessy and to get here by public transport you can use the train that connects to the RER network and the high-speed TGV. So, you can get there from France but also from London.

Among these attractions we have the Crush's Coaster, the Disney Studio 1, Les Tapis Volants, Ratatouille, Slinky Dog Zigzag Spin, The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, the Toy Soldiers parachutes and the Studio Tram Tour.
