Dated 9th April 1992, Volume 22 Issue 15 of Walt Disney World’s long-running cast newspaper, Eyes & Ears, dedicates itself to the impending “gala opening” of a certain younger sibling across the Atlantic. This large, A3-sized newsletter features a colour cover of fireworks over Le Château de la Belle au Bois Dormant, whilst the greyscale pages inside feature previews and notices about the brand new resort. Page 3 features a special report about American Cast Members who moved over to Paris to form part of the Grand Opening Crew, along with a breathless preview of the events due to unfold in the 11th April TV special. Shown in the US on the CBS network, the North American edition of The Grand Opening of Euro Disney was presented by Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith, pictured alongside CEO of The Walt Disney Company, Michael Eisner, in the publicity picture. Amongst the more local Floridian notices over the page, Cast Members at Walt Disney World were invited to purchase a rare lithograph of the four Disney castles, exclusively available to cast in California, Florida, Tokyo and Paris. |
