Listen "How Euro Disney Changed the Course of Disney History"
Episode Synopsis
Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney.
Disney held an inventory conference this week and we got some news on upcoming movies and maybe some new Figment content.
The 90s was a wild time for Disney parks.
Michael Eisner was in the midst of his Disney Decade expansion plans to add new parks and attractions all over the world. Plus Disney World was starting to become the vacation destination we know today.
But it wasn’t smooth sailing the entire time.
Euro Disney opened in the early part of the decade over budget and to underwhelming crowds.
The weak launch of the new parks put a major financial strain on the company that impacted a lot of Eisner’s grand plans.
Today we count down the top parks, attractions and lands whose cancellations can be tied back to the financial struggles of Euro Disney.
Submit a question/topic for us to discuss on a future episode.
