Mickey travels through the magical fairy-tale worlds of seven of the most popular Disney tales, including The Jungle Book, The Little Mermaid, Tangled, Brave, Aladdin, The Princess and the Frog, and Frozen. Finally, Mickey enters the world of Frozen, successfully returning Olaf to his story. In addition to the new stage show, guests will be dazzled by an enhanced “Disney in the Stars” Fireworks show, made even more vibrant by cutting-edge technology, lighting effects, and state-of- the-art video projection shown on Sleeping Beauty Castle. The enhanced fireworks show will officially launch in November. 2 The 10th anniversary celebratory journey also features new attractions such as the “Fairy Tale Forest” in Fantasyland in December, where many Disney fairy tales are set, including miniature scenes from Tangled, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Beauty and the Beast, Cinderella and The Little Mermaid, and guests can interact with Tinker Bell up close.

Anniversary merchandise and food and beverage will continue the “Happily Ever After” story of the 10th anniversary. In addition to the new shows and attractions, there will be seasonal offerings for Halloween and Christmas. In October, the frightful fun of Disney Haunted Halloween will span outdoors to the ghostly lands of Mystic Point, Grizzly Gulch, and Adventureland, which dares the boldest not to lose their soul to sinister spirits.

  • Cinderella Castle at Walt Disney World Resort Fact Sheet
    Cinderella Castle at Walt Disney World Resort Fact Sheet Description: Cinderella Castle pays homage to the beloved story and characters from Disney’s 12th full-length animated feature film, “Cinderella,” which was released in theaters in 1950. Painted in traditional colors of grey, blue, and gold, the castle represents a romantic conception of a French palace-fortress. While the base of the castle resembles a medieval fortress typifying the Romanesque architecture and castles of the 11th through 13th centuries, the upper portion of the castle reflects the stately Gothic forms that were prominent in later centuries. Opening Date: October 1, 1971 Castle Height: 189 feet (tallest structure in Magic Kingdom Park) Construction: Cinderella Castle took approximately 18 months to build and was completed in July, 1971. The castle is made of concrete, steel, cement, plaster, and fiberglass. No bricks were used in the construction. The inner castle is structural steel covered with fiberglass. The foundation is concrete filled with foam for weight conservation Cinderella’s Royal Table: A circular stairwell or a themed elevator transports guests to Cinderella’s Royal Table, the elegant restaurant located on the second level of the castle where guests can meet Cinderella and some of her princess friends. Hosts and Hostesses address younger guests as “princes” or “princesses,” while adult guests are addressed as “lords” or “ladies.” Fun facts: For inspiration, Walt Disney Imagineering researchers turned to the famous palaces of Charles Perrault’s France, still showplaces of Europe. Their design took the form of a romanticized composite of such courts as Fontainebleau, Versailles, and a dozen famed chateaux of the Loire Valley.

  • Case 15 Euro Disney: from Dream to Nightmare
    CTAC15 4/17/07 14:03 Page 253 case 15 Euro Disney: From Dream to Nightmare At the press conference announcing Euro Disneyland SCA’s financial results for the year ended September 30, 1994, CEO Philippe Bourguignon summed up the year in succinct terms: “The best thing about 1994 is that it’s over.” In fact, the results for the year were better than many of Euro Disneyland’s long-suffering shareholders had predicted. Although revenues were down 15% – the result of falling visitor numbers caused by widespread expectations that the park would be closed down – costs had been cut by 12%, resulting in a similar operating profit to that of the previous year. The bottom line still showed a sub- stantial loss (net after-tax loss was FF1.8bn); however, this was a big improvement on the previous year (FF5.33bn loss). Tables 15.1 and 15.2 show details of the financial performance. Regarding the future, Bourguignon was decidedly upbeat. Following the FF13bn restructuring agreed with creditor banks in June, Euro Disney was now on a much firmer financial footing. As a result of the restructuring, Euro Disney- land SCA was left with equity of about FF5.5bn and total borrowings of FF15.9bn – down by a quarter from the previous year. With the threat of closure lifted, Euro Disney was now in a much better position to attract visitors and corporate partners. Efforts to boost attendance figures included a new advertising campaign, a new FF600m attraction (Space Mountain), which was due to open in June 1996, and changing the park’s name from Euro Disneyland to Disneyland Paris.
