...EXECUTIVES AT EURO DISNEYLAND, IT WAS what they had long wished upon a star to see. The throngs at the $4.4 billion theme park over last week's Pentecostal holiday were so thick that ticket windows were shut for four hours to regulate the flow. All 12,000 parking spots were filled; at one point, sightseers waited two hours to shuffle through the main gate, then an hour more for each attraction...

...surprises, quirks, genuine diversity. Disney parks won't serve wine or beer, and operatives shut the gates tight by 9 on weekdays. In Seville the fair stays open until 4 a.m., night after bibulous night. Children may not have as much fun at Expo '92 as they will at Euro Disney, but in Seville the hubbub is heartening and authentic, full of life as well as production values...
