The Disneyland Park sign is missing today, some people speculating a name change for the park to the Magic Kingdom or the resort's name being changed, which I guess is possible, I imagine the name Disneyland Paris has gained somewhat of a bad name attached to it, before the 25th rehab plans were announced I remember a lot of petitions and some mainstream media articles, perhaps they want to rebrand to represent a new dawn for the resort now that the Walt Disney Company owns the vast majortity and has more or less taken over at this point.

It could be possible. Three more days and we'll know for sure.

Interesting idea. Maybe Royaume Magique? Hmmm.. and if they do change it to «Le Magic Kingdom», what will the resort be called? Surely that'd remain as Disneyland (Resort) Paris?

And...(cynisicim ahoy!) even if they do change it, people will still call it 'EuroDisney' ! 

[mrpiggywinkles52]

I feel like it'd be Magic Kingdom in English or something like that, I feel like that is more marketable, maybe it'd be Walt Disney World Paris? Walt Disney resort Paris? Disneyland Europe? No idea lol.

I think I've got it. The introduction of Star Wars characters around the park. The suit of armour in PM will become a Storm Trooper, The barrel where they are suggesting Jack Sparrow will pop up will really be R2D2, Dumbo will be replaced with X-wing fighters and the scene where Pan and Hook are fighting (Peter Pans Flight) will become Obiwan and Vader.

Sounds plausible

any news on what time to expect the announcement?

[stormflm595]

I'm wondering if it's an expansion of Studios? Could be why they haven't really touched it for the 25th as they know it'll be their next big project? No idea if it's possible with funds but now its under the Walt Disney Company maybe they could make it happen. Could also explain hotel price hikes and charging for breakfast to make more money for it all.

Either that or maybe the announcement of a new park in the resort? Sure I read somewhere ages ago that Epcot has always been planned for DLP. The resort has guest capacity for it I suppose with the 7 on site hotels and the off site hotels in the area.

Or perhaps I'm just being too optimistic

This was announced last week, so I don't think it'll be that. They also released a follow-up press release about the Paralympic team visiting the park.
