In the 2019 documentary series The Imagineering Story, Bruce Vaughn, Chief Creative Executive (2007–2016) of Walt Disney Imagineering, described his reaction when he visited the park when it first opened: Walt Disney Studios Park opened on 16 March 2002. Construction would officially begin a year later in 2000. The park was announced on 29 September 1999. After the resort began to make a profit, these plans were revived on a much smaller scale. Initial plans for a second theme park, named Disney-MGM Studios Europe or Disney-MGM Studios Paris, were scheduled to open in 1995, though these plans were canceled around mid-1992 due to the resort's financial issues at the time. May this special place stir our own memories of the past, and our dreams of the future. Here we celebrate the art and the artistry of storytellers from Europe and around the world who create magic. Walt Disney Studios is dedicated to our timeless fascination and affection for cinema and television. To all who enter this studio of dreams…welcome. The park is represented by the Earffel Tower, a water tower similar to one that was installed at the Walt Disney Studios lot in Burbank, California. In 2019, the park hosted approximately 5.2 million guests. Upon opening, it was dedicated to show business, movie themes, production, and behind-the-scenes, but in the 2010s, in a similar manner to its sister park, Disney’s Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World in Florida, it began to distance itself from the original studio backlot theming and entered a new direction of attraction development inspired by iconic Disney stories. It is owned and operated by The Walt Disney Company through its Parks, Experiences and Products division. Walt Disney Studios Park ( French: Parc Walt Disney Studios) is the second of two theme parks built at Disneyland Paris in Marne-la-Vallée, France, which opened on 16 March 2002.
