Welcome to the The Alternate Disney Parks Timeline Reality: What if Euro Disney never failed in this blog I will create a timeline where Euro Disney has a successful opening from the start avoiding the major cancellations and budget cuts of projects that lasted for the years and decades that followed Euro Disney's major failure but in the Alternate timeline I am creating Euro Disney not only succeeds it changes the history of Disney Parks and the themed entertainment industry as well because Disney would be growing and investing for the rest of the 20th century and while into the 21st century remaining a serious competitor to their competition including Universal Parks and Resorts and Seaworld Parks. The Timeline will begin in 1984 when Michael Eisner and Frank Wells come to the company because the 80's are an important part of this Alternate Disney Parks Timeline since it is the basis to the creation of Euro Disney in the first place and set the company on a path very different from the reality of the regular timeline we all know today because in this timeline Michael and Frank achieve their grand plans that would have changed Disney and the Parks in amazing ways that we can only dream about since our reality turned out so different this Alternate timeline will be about Disney Parks and how their competitors would have been affected if Euro Disney never failed from the 1980's to the modern day this blog will be a What if Timeline that us fans would have loved to see happen and I hope this blog makes you all happy.

====The 1980's: The Arrival of Michael and Frank====

===Timeline Start===
1984:
In 1984 the Walt Disney Company still in the Post-Walt and Roy Disney era under the leadership of Ron miller in the early 80's the company which is in the darkest time of it's history where the very survival of the company is at because a corporate raider named Saul Steinberg attempted to buy the company in a hostile takeover and sell it in parts to the highest bidder in a fate similar to what MGM went through around the same time but Disney was able to avoid this fate by successfully keeping Saul away in the wake of the attempted hostile takeover of the company Roy E Disney and other shareholders came together and launched a Save Disney campaign to remove CEO Ron miller and replace him with a new one to help save the company. Later in 1984 Roy and the Shareholder's efforts prove successful for the first time in the history of the company outsiders we're brought in by Roy E Disney to run the company those outsiders would change the company forever and those outsiders we're Michael Eisner former president of Paramount pictures and Frank G Wells the president of Warner Brothers and in September 1984 Michael and Frank officially become CEO and President of the companies bringing new leadership to save the company and forever change it's future immediately they begin to turn things around with their leadership style that is similar to Walt and Roy's leadership beginning the second half of the 1980's with the leaders they need to lead the company to a bright future.

Truth be told.. it never truly “failed”. The issue was they relied far too much on hotel bookings rather than park attendance, ridership, and food & beverage & merch sales. Eisner’s focus was in the wrong place and he was surrounding himself around the wrong people rather than the folks who actually knew what they were doing in the themed entertainment realm.

I hope Disney and Amblin have a partnership deal to let Roger Rabbit's Hollywood opening in 1994 at Disney-MGM Studios with Maroon Studios and Toontown. Also Universal's Cartoon World is still happening instead Islands of Adventure, and it will opened in 1998/1999 with attractions and shows based on DC Comics, Jay Ward, Dr. Seuss, Looney Tunes, Hanna-Barbera, Peanuts, Tiny Toon Adventures, Animaniacs, Nickelodeon, and Marvel.

With the Successful opening and record breaking attendance and profits of Euro Disneyland Resort plans immediately begin to expand the sixth Disney park in the world and increase room capacity to meet the unprecedented demand those plans also include a second gate Disney MGM Studios Europe and a Waterpark but the resort was designed with space for more than just those 2 parks but also a 3rd theme park for later in the future as part of the land purchase deal with the French Government that requires a new park to be opened at year 10 and year 25 meaning more Disney Parks will join the family of Parks around the world the success of the resort will be shared with all the sister parks and resorts of Euro Disneyland Resort for years to come including new parks that will rise up around the world growing the Disney Parks Empire.

Later in 1992 Magic Kingdom and Tokyo Disneyland open Splash Mountain on October 1st 1992 those are the second and third versions of the hugely popular Log flume attraction from Disneyland but with differences wider flumes, 8 person 2 seat Log boats and additional drops within the indoor portion with each further differences in Tokyo like a indoor queue and loading/unloading areas plus the ability to adjust the water splash in order to accommodate the cold winter weather and hot humid Summers that has Japan which the Florida Version does not have those additional features because the weather is more balanced and warmer year round. Also at Walt Disney World Spectromagic a new nighttime parade debuts at Magic Kingdom and at Disney MGM Studios Voyage of the Little Mermaid show and the AFI Gallery debuts but work also begins on a massive expansion that will significantly increase attraction and guest capacity of the popular young Disney Park at Walt Disney World. Also in 1992 Disney announces more hotels for Disney World and reveal plans for Tomorrowland 2055 for both coasts along with Sunset Blvd, Crimestoppers, The Twlight Zone Tower of Terror, Roger Rabbits Hollywood and Toontown on both coasts and they also announce Discovery Mountain, Ariel's undersea Journey, Storybook boats/Casey Jr and Indina Jones Forribbean Temple for the next 2-4 years. With the Success of Euro Disneyland Resort the Disney Decade can truly begin and with Michael and Frank's leadership their is limitless potential for the Parks and the Company as a whole forever changing the industry.

No Islands of Adventure is still happening but they will have DC because Disney buys Marvel out of bankruptcy and Warner Brothers decides to pull the license with Six Flags to use DC and Looney tunes in their parks because WB declares Six flags does not fit the brand which bankrupts Six Flags all the parks get sold to different owners mostly theme park and entertainment companies. Amblin on the another hand develops a good relationship with Disney it will never leads to the creation of Dreamworks SKG in 1995 and Steven Speliberg has a presence at Disney and Universal parks.

I'm wonder what 1994 will be look like today?

Also Eisner has his idea as Mickey and Minnie are finally getting married, so here is the plan for them in 1990s:

The concept was to not only have Mickey and Minnie get married, but to make a year long event out of it. The idea was that Mickey and Minnie would get engaged on Valentine’s Day, get a ring in April at Tiffany & Co (surely a sponsorship opportunity), and finally get married in June during the height of the Disney vacationing season and during a televised special. Lastly the two would honeymoon in Paris, not too far off from the relatively new EuroDisney. It was packed with all of the tie-ins and synergy that Eisner was known for. However ultimately the idea of Mickey and Minnie getting married, and all the implications and complications that came with it, were just too radical for many at the company, and the idea was shot down.

You're forgotting Baby Herman's Runaway Baby Buggy Ride (dark ride) and Toontown Transit (simulator) as Toon Coaster (roller coaster based on Roller Coaster Rabbit short) as Maroon Studios area too. Also when Hollywoodland opened at Disneyland in 1999, please have The Great Movie Ride, Baby Herman's Runaway Baby Buggy Ride, Toontown Transit, Superstar Television, The Twlight Zone Tower of Terror and Dick Tracy's Crimestoppers opened with it. Also is Disney-MGM Studios Europe is gonna have Roger Rabbit attractions too?
