Le 12 avril 1992, Euro Disney ouvre ses portes après quatre années de travaux et cinq ans après la signature de la Convention de 1987 qui lie l'Etat français à la Walt Disney Company. Le projet de développement urbain du secteur IV bientôt appelé Val-d'Europe est un projet ancien, qui date en réalité de la fin des années 1970. Car le projet Euro Disney, c'est certes la construction du premier parc à thèmes Disney en Europe mais c'est également une gigantesque opération immobilière qui va pour toujours changer la ville nouvelle de Marne-la-Vallée. En 1994, Euro Disney prend le nom de Disneyland Paris.

"Walt Disney is renowned as a cartoonist, filmmaker, showman, and entertainment icon. But he was also a farsighted futurist, a transportation buff with practical roots in the past-- and visionary sights set on the future. In imagining Disneyland, Walt saw it not only as a destination for diversion and entertainment, but also as a means of presenting practical demonstrations of new ideas and new technology with real-world applications. In "The Disney monorail: imagineering a highway in the sky", a reader will discover the parallel stories of the development of a new form of transportation and the evolution of Walt's prophetic creative mind, which together resulted in the first daily operating monorail in the Western Hemisphere. Since June 1959, this mid-century modern marvel has captured the hearts and imaginations of theme park and Disney fans everywhere; it has inspired, as Walt hoped, the creation of working monorails in practical transit applications in varied locations all around the world. "The Disney monorail" is a lavish visual celebration of one of Disney's most impactful and beloved creations. Through a lively and succinct narrative and a stunning collection of unique historical photographs and rare concept and development art-- much of it never before published-- readers will be transported into a future where yesterday's dreams are tomorrow's realities!"-- Publisher's description

From the day it opened in July 1955, in an event given live TV coverage, Disneyland has been a key symbol of contemporary American culture. It has been both celebrated and attacked as the ultimate embodiment of consumer society, a harbinger of shopping-mall culture, a symbol of American hegemony in entertainment, the epitome of fantasy, simulation, pastiche, and the blurring of distinctions between reality and mass-media imagery. Yet for all the power of Disneyland as metaphor, almost no one has discussed the making of this unique place, with its far-flung colonies in Florida, Japan, and France. Written to accompany an exhibition at the Canadian Centre for Architecture in Montreal, Designing Disney's Theme Parks: The Architecture of Reassurance is the first book to look beyond the multiple myths of Disneyland.Uniting a roster of authors chosen from wide-ranging disciplines, this study is the first to examine the influence of Disneyland on both our built environment and our architectural imagination. Tracing the relationship of the Disney parks to their historical forbears, it charts Disneyland's evolution from one man's personal dream to a multinational enterprise, a process in which the Disney "magic" has moved ever closer to the real world. Editor Karal Ann Marling, Professor of Art History and American Studies at the University of Minnesota, draws upon her pioneering work in the Disney archives to reconstruct and analyze the intentions and strategies behind the parks. She is joined by Marty Sklar, Vice Chairman and Principal Creative Executive of Walt Disney Imagineering, historian Neil Harris, art historian Erika Doss, geographer Yi-Fu Tuan, critic Greil Marcus, and architect Frank Gehry to provide a unique perspective on one of the great post-war American icons.
