Did you know?
Hidden beneath Disneyland Paris is a vast network of tunnels and corridors known as 'Utilitors' which allow employees to haul equipment unnoticed and characters to move discreetly throughout the park.
Many of the tenants you see on the upstairs windows on Main Street, USA are real people. Most of these tenants are based off people who contributed to the development of the park.
Paul Chapman, the stained glass expert who worked on the restoration of Notre Dame, also worked on the stained glass windows for Princess Aurora’s Castle in his 80s.
It blends classic Disney enchantment with French charm. Explore the Sleeping Beauty Castle, inspired by European fairy tales; stroll through the cobblestone streets in Fantasyland (in Disneyland Park); or step into a quaint French boutique to pick a souvenir.
Disneyland Paris is home to two parks, Disneyland Park and Walt Disney Studios Park, and a bustling entertainment complex, Disney Village.
The first of the two parks, it opened on April 12, 1992. Dedicated to all things Disney–characters and fairytales, it is divided into five themed lands, each a magical world that inspires the imagination.
The rides and characters here are based on classic Disney tales, just as you remember them.

A decade later, on March 16, 2002, the second park opened up, one dedicated to the cinematic world of Disney, Pixar, and the Avengers. This park is divided into five studio lots, each enjoyable and colorful.
The rides and characters here are based on movie themes and behind-the-scenes actions.
Book Walt Disney Studios Park tickets
A shopping, dining, and entertainment complex, it sits right by the entrance to the two parks. Browse shops, grab a meal at a themed restaurant, catch a movie, or rise above the park in the largest helium-filled tethered balloon, up to a height of 100 meters.
It gets better–entry to Disney Village doesn’t require tickets and it opens earlier and closes later than the parks.
Discover Disney Village
Get ready to meet and greet the stars of Disney magic! From classic characters like Mickey and Minnie to new favorites like Elsa and Woody, character encounters bring beloved stories to life. Snap photos, share hugs, and collect autographs—each interaction makes you feel like you’ve stepped right into a movie scene.
Disneyland Paris stands out with its European flavor, stunning architecture, and unique attractions, including the beautiful Sleeping Beauty Castle. Though smaller than Disneyland in California or Disney World in Florida, it offers a unique mix of Disney and French culture, perfect for a European getaway.
It spans roughly 4,800 acres, encompassing two main parks—Disneyland Park and Walt Disney Studios Park—alongside Disney Village. Together, the parks offer around 50 attractions, parades, and entertainment options, giving you plenty to explore over a couple of days.
Both parks have their charm - Disneyland Park brings classic Disney magic with iconic rides, while Walt Disney Studios Park dives into film and animation with thrilling attractions. For Disney classics, Disneyland Park is perfect; for movie and Marvel fans, Walt Disney Studios Park is a must. Visiting both offers the ultimate Disney experience.
Yes, you can! While it’s ambitious, a 2-Disney Parks ticket allows access to both parks on the same day. Start early to make the most of your day, prioritize your must-see attractions, and consider purchasing Disney Premier Access to skip queues on popular rides. However, spending two days lets you fully enjoy each park’s unique attractions if time allows.
Comfort is key. Wear comfortable walking shoes and weather-appropriate clothes, and bring a rain jacket, especially in the unpredictable Parisian weather.
Yes, don’t miss the Dragon animatronic under Sleeping Beauty’s Castle (Fantasyland), the beautiful Les Mystères du Nautilus (Discoveryland), and the details in Alice’s Curious Labyrinth (Fantasyland). These often-overlooked attractions offer unique experiences within the parks.
