The area is primarily given over to Disneyland Park, as per the contract between the government and The Walt Disney Company. One of the terms was that the Euro Disney Resort (now Disneyland Paris) immediately got 19.40 km2 (7.49 sq mi) of land to build Festival Disney (now named Disney Village).
The Walt Disney Company is the only company within France that has had such a large say in the development of an urban area of this scale. The government was represented by an EPA (governmental development company). Disney has also contributed to the development of the new townMarne-la-Vallée.
The building work started in 1987, after Jacques Chirac (then French prime minister) and Disney signed the contract. Val d'Europe was to be opened with the Euro Disney Resort in 1992.
As of 2005, Val d'Europe had a population of 19,700 people, increasing to 37,008 by 2019. 19.43 km2 (7.50 sq mi) out of 30.00 km2 (11.58 sq mi) is set aside for development by Disney. The Walt Disney Company has spent €5 billion, compared to €500 million from the French government.
The architectural style takes inspiration from the "neo-traditional" style of Baron Haussmann, who supervised the construction of many buildings in Paris in the 19th century. The town plan, by the firm of a Driehaus Prize winner, Cooper, Robertson & Partners of New York City, was designed based upon traditional French town planning principles consistent with the New Urbanism, a design philosophy which is frequently used in the United States and used with the intent to plan new cities based upon known working principles studied by architects. Disney had previously created a New Urbanist city in Florida, known as Celebration, also designed by Cooper, Robertson & Partners. Val d'Europe and Celebration can be seen as descendants of Walt Disney's original 1960s plans for a city of the future, the Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow (EPCOT).
In 2000, a large shopping centre also named Val d'Europe opened. It features 190 shops, 30 restaurants, a large Auchan hypermarket and a Sea Life aquarium.
