I remember someone at work looking at my photo's earlier in the year (who's been to WDW but not DLRP) and was putting DLRP down saying it doesn't look very big!
cool :lol: thanks for those

Disneyland Park at DLRP is the biggest Magic Kingdom of 'm all.
QuoteDisneyland Park at DLRP is the biggest Magic Kingdom of 'm all.

The resort as a whole is larger, but the
Magic Kingdom or the actual Disneyland Park as it is referred to in Paris, is larger than eny of its counterparts in the world.
There is a topic somewhere on this board that has Google Earth shots comparing the area of them all, and you can clearly see that the Paris version is the largest one.
That said. I once more want to say that when it comes to architecture and planning, the Paris version is probably the nicest of them all - no doubt about it; just look at the maps and compare buildings such as space mountain...
Anyway - back on topic :)
"- Disneyland® Resort Paris is the biggest "garden" in Europe with 1.5 million bushes, 460,000 flowers and 20,000 trees planted each year!"
Thats a great thing! There can't be enough green in the world ;)

That's correct. The biggest is DLP, follow by Tokyo Disneyland, Magic Kingdom, Disneyland and finally HK Disneyland which is the smallest of them all.

Quote from: "Nicholas-c"really you've met the CEO ? :o
Lol... I got a photo with him 2 years ago, but I was just referring to the fact that since he's CEO all these great things are happening.
Anyway, some fun facts from
Cars Race Rally:
» This is first Disney park attraction based on the Disney•Pixar film, Cars.
» Guests will first see Luigi & Guido in front of the attraction. This is the first time these characters have been created in three-dimensions in a Disney Park.
» The Piston Cup will be on display in the middle of the rotunda, as guests enter. It is 25" high and 20" wide and gold plated.
» Guest will be immersed in Radiator Springs, created with dimensional movie sets that replicate the store fronts, shops, and neon signs of the little town off Route 66. They will see Flo's V-8 Cafe, Luigi's Casa Della Tires, and Ramone's House of Body Art.
» There are 12 ride vehicles (some red, some blue and some aqua), whose design is inspired by the automobiles in Cars. The vehicles represent a new character created specifically for this attraction with the help of the Disney•Pixar – Cars design team.
» It took one year to design, sculpt and produce the Cars Race Rally ride vehicles.
» The setting of the attraction is Radiator Springs, just after the end of the film, Cars.
» A visitor's center, sponsored by the Radiator Springs Chamber of Commerce has been set up to welcome travelers to Lightning McQueen's Racing Headquarters and to show off the businesses and leading citizens of the town.
» In English, Mater, the tow truck, says his name is "Mater, like ta-mater without the "ta". In French, since his joke would not translate, he says his name is "Martin. Like Aston Martin without the Aston.
» The music played during the Cars Quatre Roues Rallye is from two songs by Randy Newman featured in the film Cars – "Best Backward Driver" and "Doc Racing." The songs were newly orchestrated for the ride by Jonathan Sacks.
» Clips from over 15 songs associated with cars, traveling or road adventures are played in the queue area for the attraction, including three that were featured in the film Cars – "Real Gone" sung by Sheryl Crow, "Life Is A Highway" performed by Rascal Flatts, and "Route 66" sung by Chuck Berry.
» Cars won the 2007 Golden Globe Award for Best Animated Film and was nominated for Best Animated Feature Film for the 2007 Academy Awards®. Randy Newman's song "Our Town" was nominated for an Oscar® for Original Song and won the 2007 Grammy® Award for Best Song.

Actually there have been a few build by the Imagineers. I remember reading a story about a curator who wanted to borrow one of the antique machines for an exhibition because it was rare to find one in good condition, but it turned out to be a well made copy by Imagineering.

It is the biggest area wise, with an attraction count of 40. Disneyland in California, although the 2nd smallest after HKDL, has the most attractions with a count of - 52.
Quote from: "davewasbaloo"It is the biggest area wise, with an attraction count of 40. Disneyland in California, although the 2nd smallest after HKDL, has the most attractions with a count of - 52.
SO FAR :)
Obviously, Paris still has a lot of expansion opportunity ;)
