• 1 Does Mickey Mouse have a beard?
• 2 No.
• 3 Does this mean that French men seeking work with the Disney organization must shave off their moustaches too?
• 4 It depends.
• 5 A labor inspector took the Disney organization to court this week,contending（new words） that the company's dress and appearance code—which bans moustaches, beards, excess weight, short skirts and fancy stockings—offends individual liberty and violates French labor law.
• 11 If Euro Disneyland succeeds—theme parks already in France have so far failed—a second and even a third park is likely to be built by the end of the century. Finawenku.baidu.comcial experts say that Euro Disneyland, the first phase of which is costing an estimated $3.6 billion, is essential to Disney's overall fortunes, which have been hit by competition and declining attendance in the United States.

It made an extraordinary series of tax and financial concessions to attract the theme park here rather than let it go to sunny Spain.
• 10 The theme park itself will be only part of a giant complex of housing, office, and resort developments stretching far into the next century, including movie and television production facilities. As part of its deal with the Disney organization, the government is laying and paying for new highways, an extension of Paris' regional express railway and even a direct connection to the high speed TGV railway to the Channel Tunnel. The TGV station is being built in front of the main entrance of Euro Disneyland, and is scheduled to come into service in 1994.
• 6 The case is an illustration of some of the delicate cultural issues the company faces as it gets ready to open its theme park 20 miles (32 kilometers) east of Paris in five months' time.
• 2 No.
