From time to time, we all could do with a bit of magic and wonder in our lives and this is exactly what Disneyland® Paris offers from the minute you enter through its grand gates. Disney with its world of imagination offers beautifully woven stories that evoke emotion and vibrant characters that we can relate to and all of this is translated into Disneyland® Paris’s fairytale setting, its attractions, shows, restaurants and more.
Divided into two parks, Disneyland® Paris includes Disneyland® Park as well as the Walt Disney Studios® Park. While Disneyland® Park has five magical lands rife with fantasy, adventure, fun and excitement spread out from the focal point of the sparkling Sleeping Beauty Castle, Walt Disney Studios® Park has five areas where they give you a peek into exclusive behind the scenes action of its successful Hollywood movies under Disney, Pixar and Marvel. Meet your favourite characters in both parks, feel like a star in attractions that put you right in the middle of epic adventures and just spend a whole day surrounded by all your favourite things as a kid. Whether you’re a grown-up or a kid, a thrill-seeker or an avid daydreamer, at the end of the day you will take home some magic with you.
Here are some of the best shows and attractions from the two parks so you know what to beeline towards as soon as you reach Disneyland® Paris.
