Euro Disney I found two mission statements for this company one is “to make people happy” and the other one is “we create happiness by providing the finest in entertainment to people of all ages, everywhere” (Strauss, h. n.d.). Each and every employee from maid to the president knows the mission statement. All employees are motivated to create happiness for their guest, and they do everyday.

One of the biggest reasons was that the company assumes that everybody in Europe has money and they came up with really high prices on the tickets, restaurants and hotels.

Disneyland Paris (formerly Euro Disney) While Tokyo Disneyland is considered a great success, the Walt Disney Company’s next international theme park venture, Euro Disney, is quite the opposite. In the 1980’s with the great success of Tokyo Disneyland, TWDC entertained the idea of building another international theme park.

The Fall and Rise of Euro Disney Introduction: Euro Disney is well known as one of the greatest failures in corporate history. Indeed, its initial lack of success was so great that, in an effort to distance themselves from the tainted name, Disney now identifies the site as Disneyland Paris. The discussion here lends some insight into a few of the reasons for Euro Disney's disastrous early performance.
