Can someone tell me the location, dates and years for the openings (to the public) to each of the Disney Resorts, a sort of time-line will do.

I know Disneyland Resort Paris opened to the public on (12th April 1992), then (Euro Disney) in Marne-Le-Valle, Paris, France......but what about the rest as in:

Disneyland California, Walt Disney World, Disneyland Resort Tokyo, Disneyland Resort Hong Kong and the Epcot Centre.....? Have I missed any? Anyone....

3. Disney's River Country, Florida. (June 20, 1976)

...which is now part of a hotel since it's no more attractive enough to be called "water park" due to the later opened "Typhoon Lagoon" and "Blizzard Beach".... AFAIK

11. Disney's California Adventure, California. (February 8, 2001)

I was there ! I was there ! I was there !

AFAIK it's just rotting ... take a look at Google Earth - you can spot it there and it looks like everything but part of a hotel

Maybe it's true, maybe not.
BUT:
Do you really think you would see that on google earth ?  :lol:
I didn't say, it's not there anymore....  :wink:

I just know this from a guy who recently drove by old River Country ... by boat. And you can really see that using Google Earth It does not belong to anything these days ... unfortunately

Looks like a lot more than I originally thought   :shock:

From Wikipedia

River Country was a water park located at Walt Disney World Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Florida. It opened on June 20, 1976 and last operated in November 2001. On January 20, 2005, The Walt Disney Company announced that River Country would remain closed permanently. It is said to have been the world's first fully themed water park.

(...)

A long-standing rumor claims River Country will be made into an exclusive water park for guests staying at Fort Wilderness, similar to to Stormalong Bay at the Yacht and Beach Club Resorts, but this rumor has yet to come to fruition.
