History

The very first employees of the Euro Disney were housed in Disney's Davy Crockett Ranch (then known as Camp Davy Crockett). The Ranch was operational by September 1991, before the other hotels. Crockett's Tavern was the first restaurant to open on 2 February 1992 at the Ranch.

Disney Davy Crockett Ranch officially opened with the Euro Disney Resort in April 1992.

On 26 July 2020, Disney rebranded all their onsite hotels by dropping the possessive apostrophe. This meant the name was changed from Disney's Davy Crockett Ranch to Disney Davy Crockett Ranch. [2]

On 12 April 2024, Disneyland Paris announced that Disney Davy Crockett Ranch would be refurbished, introducing a new theme around Junior Woodchuck characters. [3]

On the 16th August 2022, Disney Davy Crockett Ranch received a brand new logo. [4]

Activities

There are many activities residents can participate in.

Important event

Storm Lothar (December 26, 1999)

The Davy Crockett Ranch suffered significant damage during Storm Lothar, leading to an extended hotel closure. According to testimonies, residents of the hotel were surprised in the middle of the morning by the violence of the wind and had to flee their accommodation in their pajamas to take refuge in the store (Alamo Trading Post) and at the reception at the entrance to the hotel. The Cast Members distributed warm clothes and socks to them. By midday, the 2,550 residents were relocated to other hotels at Disneyland Paris (Euro Disney Resort at the time), including the New York Hotel (now Disney Hotel New York – The Art of Marvel) and the Disney Newport Bay Club Hotel. [5]

The storm also damaged the Disney Sequoia Lodge hotel. [6]
