Disneyland Park Paris, France

Disneyland Park is the main and most famous amusement park of Disneyland Paris, opened in 1992 and modeled after the original Disneyland in California, USA. It is large enough that a full day is recommended to explore it.

Park Layout

After entering, visitors first arrive at Main Street USA, an early 20th-century American town with restaurants, cafes, and Disney shops. Here is also the main station of the Disneyland Railroad, a steam train that circles the park.

At the end of Main Street, the Sleeping Beauty Castle stands at the center, from which four themed areas branch out:

• Frontierland – Wild West attractions, lakes, and forts
• Discoveryland – Futuristic and sci-fi themed, including Star Wars rides
• Fantasyland – Fairy-tale world for children with carousels, boats, and labyrinths
• Adventureland – Adventure and exotic worlds like Africa, pirates, and jungle

Themed areas are immersive worlds with houses, landscapes, rivers, and fortresses, making walking around enjoyable even without visiting attractions.
