Enthusiasm for the unique destination remains strong, with its two theme parks, seven Disney hotels, two convention centres, a leisure centre (Disney® Village) and its 27-hole golf course.
« We have just reached the symbolic figure of one quarter of a billion visits. This shows that the
French, and Europeans in general, have whole heartedly welcomed theme parks – and Disneyland Paris in particular. This milestone confirms the draw of the destination and our guests’ attachment to the Disney brand », stated Philippe Gas, C.E.O. of Euro Disney S.A.S.
