The document discusses the history and expansion of Disney theme parks around the world. It began with Disneyland in California in 1955 and expanded to include parks in Florida, Japan, France, California Adventure, and Hong Kong. EuroDisney (now Disneyland Paris) struggled initially due to cultural differences between American and French audiences. Hong Kong Disneyland also struggled in its first year due to a lack of cultural understanding, small size, and lack of excitement. Both parks later improved their performance by addressing cultural issues and expanding offerings. The document analyzes the role of culture and ethnocentrism in the parks' struggles and assesses opportunities and risks for future international expansion.
