Euro Disney S.C.A. (Euronext: EDL) is the company that owns and operates Disneyland Paris in Marne-la-Vallée, France. The stock is traded on the Euronext Paris exchange.
Disneyland Paris comprises Disneyland Park, Walt Disney Studios Park, Disney Village, and seven on-site Disney Hotels. Val d'Europe is a new residential and shopping development. Another seven hotels/residences have been built not far from the two Disney theme parks on land held under Euro Disney SCA's lease, including properties from companies such as Holiday Inn, Kyriad, MyTravel and Radisson Hotels.
The Resort is a result of an agreement signed on 24 March 1987 between The Walt Disney Company and the French Authorities for the development of a new tourist destination, and construction began within a year. Since opening on 12 April 1992, the Resort has created more than 30,000 jobs (both directly and indirectly) in the region to the east of Paris. Today it is the number one tourist destination in Europe with 14.5 million visits recorded for Financial Year 2007.
In May 1985 Disney Productions indicated that they would build a European Disneyland park with a location expected to be selected by September. A letter of intent was signed on December 15, 1985 by CEO Michael Eisner and then French Prime Minister Laurent Fabius in regards to building the theme park at Marne-la-Vallée, France on 4400 acres. The theme park plans were approved by the Île-de-France regional council on July 11, 1986. The Walt Disney Company appointed Robert Fitzpatrick as Euro Disneyland president on March 12, 1987. On March 24, 1987 Euro Disney signed an agreement with the French government. Construction on Euro Disney Resort began in August 1988. In February 1989 Euro Disney SCA licensed The Walt Disney Company's intellectual property for the French theme park. Euro Disney went public by trading on the Paris Stock Exchange on October 8 at US$14 a share with 42.9 million shares sold.
