The Original Park Map for EuroDisney / Disneyland Paris. There Was Much More Planned Than What Was Built!

Here is one of the original park maps showing what Imagineering had planned for EuroDisney aka EuroDisneyland aka Disneyland Paris. For a park that has remained relatively stagnant for decades- which may be a good thing given Disney's lousy track record with newer projects that seemed half-baked- the original park's plans were rich with ideas and variety. Just look at what was fleshed out besides what was originally built! You might be amazed. I won't give any secrets away, but you can enlarge this map to see it for yourself.

Walt Disney Studios Paris was an instant bust and a drain on the resort's finances. It took years and lots of cash to re-emerge as Disney Adventure World. Maybe, just maybe, some of these ideas for the world's most beautiful castle park will come to fruition now.
