Île-de-France

The story behind the day out

A resort takes shape east of Paris

Disneyland Paris opened on 12 April 1992, following the foundational agreement of 1987. The Marne-la-Vallée–Chessy regional rail station opened shortly before the park, making transport part of the destination’s launch. A second park followed in 2002. The sequence shows how the resort grew in stages: the park gates, access infrastructure and later expansion are connected pieces of a larger regional development.
