Euro Disney said yesterday its sales soared 16.6 per cent in the three months to December to 1.3 billion francs from 1.1 billion in the same period in 1996. The news sent Euro Disney's share price soaring on the Paris stock market, stock rising 9.2 per cent in the first half hour of trading to 8.30 francs from Ffr7.6 at Tuesday's close. The increase in sales in the final part of the year was chiefly the result of an increased number of visitors to the Paris theme park.
