Laureen: My favorite box on the set is “Shopping”. I have always loved shopping at Disneyland Paris. Before I became a Cast Member, I would spend my time in the stores looking for and buying the latest product. Marylène: I joined the Art Merchandise team at Disneyland Paris in 2017. I am in charge, along with the other artists, of drawing our favorite characters so that our guests can find them in our stores. Laureen: My first thought: “WOW! My second thought: “WOW! Quite a challenge!”. I was happy and honored – and a little anxious – to be involved in such a large project. Most importantly, I was really looking forward to getting started.

Sandy: Yes, I love the feel of the 4 Lands on the game board immensely, but the 2 squares that particularly resonate with me are Indiana Jonesâ„¢ and the Temple of Peril and Star Warsâ„¢ Hyperspace Mountain. As a little girl, I used to watch the advertisement with this sentence “The greatest attraction in the galaxy is at Disneyland Paris” . These were my first thrill rides and I’m proud of them!Laureen: From the time I joined the team until the official announcement of the commercialization of Monopoly, it was a year and a half. My most important milestone was the number of evenings and weekends spent playing six different versions of Monopoly with my family. It helped me master the mechanics of the game and inspire me at the same time. Another step, just as important, is the communication of the specifications to the supplier with the first corrections. These different steps were done under the guidance and advice of the Walt Disney Imagineering team and our management. And finally, the ultimate step is the arrival of the first sample which concretizes the end of the project just before its official announcement and its arrival in stores afterwards. For the 30th Anniversary, Disneyland Paris’ Product Merchandise teams collaborated with the teams in charge of the famous Monopoly board game to offer a version entirely themed to the colors and locations of our destination. Meet Laureen (assistant product manager), Sandy (graphic designer) and Marylene (designer) who are all part of the teams that worked on the development of this project. Sandy: The design of the game took several months, as there were several key steps involved. Between the thinking around the game, the cards and their contents, the illustrations and the realization of the documents and the supplier follow-up. It’s a real team effort, you have no idea how many details are present in this game! Travel around the board as your favourite Disney Villain: Cruella, Jafar, Scar, Evil Queen, Maleficent, or Hook. Each character has special ability depicted on their Power card

Marylene: I joined the Art Merchandise team at Disneyland Paris in 2017. I am in charge, along with the other artists, of drawing our favorite characters so that our guests can find them in our stores.Marylene: I was very excited to refresh this historical game by adding storytelling through our attractions and other iconic locations. I have been a fan of our Park since 1992 and have always paid attention to its many details. So, what a great opportunity it was for me to draw icons of our destination that don’t often get the chance to be represented: Dapper Dan’s Hair Cuts, Frontierland Theater or the Arcades for example.

Any particular anecdotes? Sandy: I arrived at Disneyland Paris in April 2012 in the Food team.
