On March 16, 2002, Disneyland Resort Paris – now the number-one tourist destination in Europe – marked its 10th anniversary with the opening of a second theme park, Walt Disney Studios Park.

Here, guests discover the worlds of cinema, animation and television through a variety of shows and attractions. With four distinct production areas based on a real working studio, the park offers guests the chance to step through the screen and experience a world of attractions, entertainment, special effects, and never-before-seen shows. The Disney Cinema Parade, developed in collaboration with the creators of the world famous Cirque du Soleil, opened to celebrate the art of filmmaking and showed special scenes from Disney’s most enduring animated classics.

France’s Disneyland Park celebrated its 10th birthday with enchanting summer shows such as Minnie’s Birthday Surprise, The Tarzan Encounter, and Winnie the Pooh and Friends, Too. The resort’s restaurant, shopping and entertainment complex, Disney Village, opened Café Mickey, a restaurant where guests dine in the company of Disney’s beloved characters.

To meet the increased demand for accommodations brought about by the resort’s growth, three new hotels will open in spring 2003, with a fourth scheduled for 2004.

Marriott’s Village d’Ile-de-France, the first Marriott Vacation Club International property in France, is also planned to open in spring 2003, adjacent to the 27-hole Disneyland Golf Course.

Development of the area surrounding Disneyland Paris is continuing, as Val d’Europe, the urban project developed by Euro Disney SCA and the French government, saw the arrival of its first residents, companies and hotels. It is rapidly becoming a major economic center of the Ile-de-France region.
