From the Paper
"Standardization and transference of the American culture worked beautifully in Japan, turning it into a highly profitable venture, which continues to grow, leading to the opening of a second resort, Tokyo DisneySea. Indeed, Disney?s success in Japan is evidenced by the fact that it is the only resort to contribute higher earnings (royalties) to The Walt Disney Company in the fiscal year 2003 (Disney 2003 Annual Report, p. 59). Euro Disney is, however, an altogether different story, and not a very happy one at that. Established in 1992, the venture was plagued with problems right from the outset, beginning with Disney?s lack of understanding of European and French culture, which led to several errors in product and service design:..."

From the Paper
"The company changed CEOs before the Paris effort, replacing conservative Ron Miller with a more aggressive Michael Eisner who wanted the benefits of ownership (Lopez, 2002). It obtained forty-nine percent ownership of Euro Disney. But this time around, attendance and operating income in France was disappointing explains Lopez. Cultural challenges, as well as a European recession in the early 1990s, resulted in less than expected success of the park and its related hotels and facilities. However, Disney restructured Euro Disney and the facility became a success. By the late 1990s, DisneyLand Paris was the largest theme park in Western Europe."

" In July 1955, a new amusement park opened 30 miles south of Los Angeles, California. Named for its owner, the park ushered in a new era of family entertainment and revitalized the amusement park industry. Walt Disney referred to Disneyland not as an amusement park, but as a "theme" park. Like its carnival-derived predecessors, visitors to Disneyland bought tickets for the various rides
(called "attractions" at the park). The parks that Disney operates (in Florida, Tokyo and France, in addition to California) are anything but simple, and each carries a high level of value for visitors. This research examines the Florida parks, the characteristics which render them unique, and plans for the future at these parks.
Initially, Disney was unable to obtain financing for his first amusement park. He put up his own money, gained from a.."

"Disney competes in a wide range of markets, but Mike Schneider says that for this business segment at least, profitability was affected by the World Trade Center attacks. Schneider says that attendance declined at most of North America's largest theme and amusement parks because of fears of air travel after September 11 combined with the effects of a slowing economy. In North America, overall attendance at the 50 most popular theme parks declined slightly to 173 million visitors in 2001, which was down from last year's 175 million visitors. In fact, the 10 largest parks in North America, seven of which are located in Orlando, lost more than 7 million visitors from the previous year."

From the Paper
"Throughout his career, Walt continually had to meet financial and strategic objectives, and despite setbacks, he always managed to meet them, even if it meant going over budget, for which he was famous. In "Snow White," he felt Snow White looked too pale, and so thousands of frames were repainted with pink cheeks. In "Pinocchio," he felt something was missing, so Jiminy Cricket was added after the film's completion, at extensive cost. However, these details helped make the films the hits they were, and added to Disney's coffers in the end."

From the Paper
"Walter Elias Disney was a genius of the 20th century for a number of compelling reasons. Disney's name is still synonymous with magic kingdoms, excellent and novel animation, and a child's joy. He has been recognized as a genius for years, for a variety of reasons. His official biography at the Disney Web site states, "David Low, the late British political cartoonist, called Disney 'the most significant figure in graphic arts since Leonardo'" (Editors, 2003). Walt Disney's name lives on in the minds of children of all ages everywhere, and his theme parks still draw millions of people every year. His company's films still gross billions every year, and the attention to detail in the animated films all reach back to Disney's genius and attention to detail. Disney was not a perfect man, but his life influenced millions of people, and his genius is not debatable, it is simply the story of a man who believed in what he did, and made a tremendous success with his abilities."
