Disneyland Paris Birthday Quiz

Happy birthday Disneyland Paris! The park opened 29 years today. It was a mixed affair because, according to The Imagineering Story on Disney+, the French were not welcoming and even pelted Micheal D Eisner with eggs during the announcement that France had been selected as the site for EuroDisney. Their opening ceremony was muted to say the least and a quick google will bring up a plethora of articles detailing the financial difficulties the park has faced over the years.

However, despite its failings, Disneyland Paris (they changed the name from EuroDisney to Disneyland Paris in 1994. You can read more here) has always been a special place for us here at Beagle HQ. It was the first place Mr Beagle took me on holiday and it was the first place we visited as a family.

There are a lot of pros about visiting Disneyland Paris, some of which I covered in my ‘Why visit Disneyland Paris?‘. For us, it’s a manageable size, especially for little legs and travelling there isn’t too arduous with no jet-lag. We also get to meet some of our favourite characters and each trip has given us a new, memorable experience.

So, to celebrate Disneyland Paris’ birthday, here’s a quiz to test your knowledge. Let me know how you get on in the comments below. (Please note, photos are all our own and may not be used without express permission of the author).
