The allegations arose after Disney Parks fans discovered that several areas near “it’s a small world” featured drawn versions of social distancing stickers on the ground that Disneyland Paris Resort removed years ago, but were still present on Google Maps’ satellite images.Credit: Dr Janos Korom, FlickrNow, Disney Parks fans are mourning the loss of a lesser-known Easter egg on the Disneyland Paris Resort digital theme park map.Star Wars Character RemovedCredit: DisneyEuropean Disney Parks fans immediately noticed that the new 2-D drawing of Big Thunder Mountain Railroad had removed a hidden Star Wars character from the Disneyland Paris Resort app. Previously, a Stormtrooper was hidden at the base of the mountain, going for a ride on the Frontierland roller coaster.
