Disneyland Park is the first park at Disneyland® Paris, opened on April 12, 1992, and the one with the castle. Five lands follow one another: Main Street, U.S.A.®, Frontierland®, Adventureland®, Fantasyland® and Discoveryland.

The big rides bring you in. The details most visitors walk straight past are what bring you back.

The castle, and the dragon sleeping beneath it

Sleeping Beauty Castle is open to guests. Upstairs, La Galerie de la Belle au Bois Dormant tells the princess's story in stained glass. Beneath the castle, La Tanière du Dragon is home to a dragon that sleeps, breathes and eventually wakes.

Many visitors photograph the castle and walk past both without seeing them. Take ten minutes to step inside.

Frontierland and Adventureland

Frontierland tells the story of the gold rush. Big Thunder Mountain, the runaway mine train, races around an island in the Rivers of the Far West, and Phantom Manor invites you into the haunted house that looms over Thunder Mesa.

Adventureland belongs to explorers: Pirates of the Caribbean, Indiana Jones™ et le Temple du Péril, La Cabane des Robinson and Le Passage Enchanté d'Aladdin. Adventure Isle, two islands linked by bridges, keeps children busy with caves and walkways.

Fantasyland, the realm of little ones

Fantasyland brings the Disney Classics to life: Blanche-Neige et les Sept Nains®, Les Voyages de Pinocchio, Peter Pan's Flight, "it's a small world", Le Carrousel de Lancelot, Dumbo the Flying Elephant, Casey Jr. – le Petit Train du Cirque, Le Pays des Contes de Fées and Alice's Curious Labyrinth.

This is where a family with young children spends most of the day, and where Mickey welcomes his visitors.

Discoveryland

Discoveryland looks to the stars. It is home to Star Wars™ Hyperspace Mountain, Star Tours: The Adventures Continue, Buzz Lightyear Laser Blast, Orbitron®, Autopia® and Les Mystères du Nautilus.

Shows and character encounters

At night, Disney Tales of Magic transforms the castle with special effects and fireworks, through stories such as Cinderella, Pinocchio, Encanto and Lilo & Stitch. By day, the Disney Stars on Parade parade rolls down Main Street.

At Frontierland Theater, The Lion King: Rhythms of the Pride Lands brings the great moments of The Lion King back to life. A seat can be reserved in the official app for an extra charge, subject to availability, like the other paid options set out on the tickets and Disney Premier Access page. For character encounters, Mickey awaits you in Fantasyland, and the princesses at the Princess Pavilion.

Main Street, U.S.A. and its covered arcades

Two covered arcades run behind the shops along Main Street, the Liberty Arcade and the Discovery Arcade. They let you cross the park out of the rain and away from the crowds. In November, when Disney Enchanted Christmas dresses Main Street, they are worth their weight in gold.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, and it is one of the things that sets Paris apart. Upstairs, La Galerie de la Belle au Bois Dormant tells the Sleeping Beauty story in stained glass, and beneath the castle La Tanière du Dragon holds an animated dragon that sleeps and wakes. Both are included with park admission and need no reservation, so they are easy to fit between rides.
The idea is the same, a runaway mine train through a Wild West landscape. In Paris the mountain stands on an island surrounded by the Rivers of the Far West, right in the middle of Frontierland, so it anchors the whole area and can be seen from almost everywhere in that part of the park, by day or at night.
Fantasyland is built for them: Le Carrousel de Lancelot, Dumbo the Flying Elephant, Casey Jr. – le Petit Train du Cirque, Le Pays des Contes de Fées, Les Voyages de Pinocchio and "it's a small world". Adventure Isle keeps small children busy for a long time. Some scenes in Blanche-Neige et les Sept Nains can frighten very sensitive children.
Phantom Manor is darker and more story-driven than the Haunted Mansion in the American parks, but it is not terrifying. You ride seated through the story at a steady pace. Children who are very uneasy in the dark may want to skip it; most others come out asking to go again, which says a lot about how well balanced it is.
One full day covers the major rides across the five lands. Two days let you go back to the rides your family enjoyed, watch the parade and the nighttime show without rushing, and meet the characters. With young children, an afternoon break at the hotel makes the second half of the day far more pleasant for everyone.
The Liberty Arcade and the Discovery Arcade let you walk the length of Main Street under cover, many attractions are indoors, from Pirates of the Caribbean to Phantom Manor, and the castle can be visited. Rain also tends to thin the crowds, so a grey day in Paris can turn out to be one of the more relaxed days of your trip.
