Between the parks was going to be a massive fountain topped with the sorcerer hat. Instead large planters were created buffering the area and providing visual relief. More about #EuroDisneyland on YouTube.com/jimhshull

3 hotels front the lake at #DisneylandParis. Stayed at each with Hotel New York the favorite. A short walk to the parks started each day.

The headquarters of Monsters Inc should replace the spiked dome. One design rule is the eye goes to the center and establishes the object in the center is the most important one. The HQ is important not the dome.

The Mickey fountain was part of the greening up of the Hollywood Backlot. It lasted a short time because the after hours parties needed the space. Pity but profit speaks before beauty sometimes.

Designed for Disney Studios Paris and duplicated at #DCA the Mickey fountain lasted but a short time. The after hours parties required its removal. More about the evolution of DCA on YouTube.com/jimhshull

The classic image for #ProjectFlorida is Walt and the Governor but this is the shot that’s equally important. #Epcot art and the men responsible for building Walt’s dream.

Disneyland fun maps are classic, so when I designed #MickeyToonTown Go Coaster I drew my very own fun map. Black sharpie pen for line work and color markers (and a bit of pastel chalk) for the rest. Five hours to create this 35 year old art. More on YouTube.com/jimhshull

New images suggest an immersive musical attraction when #DisneylandParis opens #LionKing. Good staging, unforgettable songs, classic characters. All good stuff. Expect it to open in 2028-29. More on YouTube.com/jimhshull

Today’s #Floridaearthquake was unexpected and disturbing for people living in Florida. Safety is the first concern and possible damage is accessed.

The Civil Works package for the Manchester Disneyland Cast Member parking lot transformation is impressive. Drains, electric & more! Expect the project to continue until 2030. More on YouTube.com/jimhshull

The building in the center of the Manchester Disneyland Cast Member parking lot wasn’t Disney property until recently. Now used by DLR and a useful addition to a company that needs office space. Likely the building remains.

View of the Disneyland Cast Member parking lot area that will soon close. Always exciting to see construction begin especially for a project vitally important for Disneyland’s future. More on YouTube.com/jimhshull

The theater next to #RocknRollerCoaster had a CARS show and a villains show. Betting that with #Villains-land the theater will have a Muppets show. How about #MuppetVision? More on DisneyJourney.com/jimhshull

The Grand Floridian featured a massive atrium which was repeated in other #DisneyHotels.

The Red Queen castle opened with a slide. Walk up the tower for the great views and slide down. The slide was closed for reasons. Open or closed slides were a thing at Disney until they were not.

Euro Disneyland or #Disneyland Paris the resort is a money pit but no one can say it isn’t beautiful. Why DLP exists and after three decades loses money for the #DisneyCompany on YouTube.com/jimhshull

Disney has still not recouped $4.2bn of its investment in Disneyland Paris after more than 30 years, even though the resort is now its best-performing international outpost, according to an analysis of recent filings. Germany reunification played a role.

I’ve experienced ride breakdowns but never was I told ‘you’re on your own’. #Disney lawyers need to give cast members I good talking too. This experience is risky and unsafe that results in complaints and claims.
