This has been baffling me, is the resort still DLRP or DLP?
I don't know either, i call it DLP- disneyland paris, the website it disneyland paris. I don't really think it matters if people know what your are refering to. :)
It changed from "Disneyland Paris" to "Disneyland Resort Paris" when the Studios opened in 2002... and then it changed back to "Disneyland Paris" in 2008.

Thanks DGRavenswood! Your like a living encyclopaedia!
The whole place has been called Euro Disney Resort, Euro Disney Resort Paris, Disneyland Paris, Disneyland Resort Paris and now back to Disneyland Paris :roll:
My real interest in Disneyland Paris started in 2002 when it was called Disneyland Resort Paris, so I still always refer to it as DLrP :)
It's officially Disneyland Paris, DLP, Disney decided to drop the word Resort. It's been called Euro Disney (Euro Disneyland Park ), Disneyland Paris, Disneyland Resort Paris and now back to Disneyland Paris again. Epcot Boy just beat me to it.
So why is it still DLRP Today and DLRP Magic? Are they wrong?
They just haven't updated.
I guess the problem is that you can't update domain names, you have to buy new ones (and hope to sell the old ones or pay double)...
Oh ok! Thanks guys! My Dad and I have been arguing about this...I Won!
I believe most people use DLRP to refer to the whole resort area, whilst DLP is used for Disneyland Park.
Probably DLP standing for Disneyland Park
Sometimes on other forms and stuff - if I use DLP people think I mean Disneyland Park in California (even though that's obviously, DLC) but I just say DLRP to break it up.
Personally, I don't care what you use, but call it Euro-Disney and I get a hump.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who does not like to hear it called Euro Disney! Your comment made me chuckle. ;D To be fair though, I find it's usually people who have never been there or have no interest in it that refer to it that way. However, my fiance HAS been there and still calls it that to wind me up. He points out that the 'parent' company is Euro Disney SCA.
Like many things it's all relative and personal preference. I personally have always preferred DLP and say Disneyland Paris as it is a Disneyland that is (sort of) in Paris :). I think DLP rolls of the tongue better and DLRP sounds a little cold and formal. =) ºoº
For what its worth that is my two cents, pence or Euro cents ;D Or actual worth that would be $.02c, 1.25p, and 1.4c Euro.
When I first started visiting Disneyland Paris in 2003 it was DLRP but I am used to saying DLP now. It is confusing for most guests who are not big fans and don't follow the park news daily. It has had so many names.
It used to be DLRP ie Disneyland Resort Paris now it's changed to DLP - they've dropped the Resort.

I've been visiting since 1992 & often still refer to it as Eurodisney I'm afraid. just like Starbursts are Opal Fruits & Snickers are Marathons ;)
there are still references to Eurodisney around the park on posters & things anyway.

Yes, this is what I do.
DLRP = Disneyland Resort Paris
DLP = Disneyland Park
WDS = Walt Disney Studios
I think it was much better when the whole resort was called DLRP, since DLP can be Disneyland Paris, Disneyland Park and Disneyland Park in California.
Just a fun fact, in Sweden most people still call it Euro Disney since we havn't had much (as far as I know) ads and commercials since the mid-90s when pretty much all Disney VHS had a commercial from Euro Disney Paris.
But it was fun to see the new Disneyland Paris commercial at Cartoon Network last week. All in Swedish :)
When you see various ITV programmes giving away prizes still sometimes refer to Eurodisney you realise what confusion all this name changing causes!
