But if you consider that it\'s a \"parc\" and want to put an adjective, it will be masculine

(Le parc) Euro Disney est beau

It seems that Thierry2 is right. It\'s official name seems to be
\"le Parc Disneyland®\". But I\'m sure people keep on calling it Eurodisney or Euro Disney. Anyway it doesn\'t change anything for the gender.

Disneyland Paris


Explanation:
Corrigez-moi si je me trompe, mais je pense que le parc à thème porte le nom de Disneyland Paris. Il s'appellait au départ Euro Disney, mais le nom a été changé pour des raisons de marketing.

Pour répondre à la question, cela devrait être masculin: \"Disneyland Paris est beau\". Tu as raison Claudia, il y a de quoi se perdre.

Pas d'article devant "Disneyland Paris"...


Explanation:
Quand on dit "le" parc alors évidement c'est masculin.
Disnyland Paris est nom propre sans article devant contrairement à "la" France.
