    Why the fuck do they call Eurodisney, Disneyland Paris and is it difficult to find something not in France??? That isn't rite.
    Disneyland is an American product. Everything should be in Englisch so it is understandable for everybody. And not only for the french.

    Just a note: EuroDisney is no longer called EuroDisney, but DisneyLand Paris. I think they should have kept EuroDisney... it's in Europe after all... but who cares that much, really?

    Ok. How many people understand French and how many people speak English.
    I hope you Americans understand that Europe isn't only France.
    Eurodisney is disney for Europe and not only for the French.
    Six Flags in the Netherlands is in English. Warner Brothers movie world in Germany is in English. Why is everything in French in Disneyland Paris. It is just that chauvinistic thing of the france again.

    they started by putting funfairs' instuctions in their own native dialects
    and step by step our GLORIUS language went out of fashion!!!

    Man, my best mate ( an Irishman) is just back from Disneyland. We call it Disneyland for short because I dont think you can mix it up with the one in the U.S. because Europeans don't normally travel to the U.S. for weekend breaks.

    He had no problem ordering food taking rides. He only knows the most basic French. Your language is your culture. I should know. I'm Irish and I speak English. If I go to Amsterdam and visit ( I won't) MacDonalds, or go to the cinema and see a Hollywood film, do you think I should demand to be spoken to in English? Do you think I should demand the film to be in English....After all they are American products.

    If the parc is in France, it only makes sense for them to speak français. And the 'chauvinist thing' is called cocorico.

    Been to Disneyland Paris 10 times now and never had a problem. To my shame, i cannot speak French but that has never been a barrier while at Disneyland. I cannot recall ever speaking to a member of staff who could not understand what i was saying and they always answered in English and this was in the Disney hotels as well as the parks.

    The French are known for sticking with their language more than a lot of other countries. They are even behind, in regards to english in schools and how many kids can speak it. But that makes sense if you think about it. You do realize that there is a vast kingdom of territories spread out in the world owned by the French... small islands/areas in Africa, S. America, islands near Canada/USA, ect that speak French? It is still a common language, one of the top 10, if not top 5 in the world. And top 4, without a doubt in Europe with German and Spanish and English. Sadly, the Dutch language is dying (My friend, from the Netherlands words NOT MINE).

    The french language is great, I am glad my gfs country doesn't cater to me!! French people rock, they are not rude/chauvinistic. In my 7 weeks I have spent there thus far, I have met, maybe, 3-5 douche bags total. Less than one per week. With all the people I have met and traveling within the country I have done, that is NOT BAD at all!!

    I say, keep the park in French, let the lazy americans learn a bit of French for cripes sake, instead of visiting the country and park without a single freakin clue of how to speak it, outside of Bonjour. Though I realize how tough it may be for someone from the Netherlands who may, for example, speak Dutch, German and Spanish...as an example, since there are so many languages in Europe to learn and its kind of a crap shoot in choosing which one to learn. Being able to speak even four languages still makes travel to any given country pretty tough. That was more directed at Americans and to a lesser extent, the UK who tend to be uni lingual.
