6 photos from Euro Disneyland’s opening in 1992

It’s time to hit the archives, not ours, but Getty Images, and take a look at the opening on Euro Disney.

When the park opened on April 12, 1992, it contained Disneyland Park. The Walt Disney Studios Park later opened in 2002 and the complex now has seven Disney-themed hotels, partner hotels, apartments, two convention centers, golf courses and the Disney Village.

Here are half dozen photos from the park opening:
