Disneyland Paris attractions

Disneyland Park has a variety of good thrill rides, though the majority of attractions remain relatively calm. The Magic Kingdom is divided into four “lands” spreading out from Main Street USA. Main Street USA recaptures the traditions of small-town America at the turn of the 20th century. Fantasyland appeals to the tinies, with It’s a Small World, Sleeping Beauty’s Castle, Peter Pan’s Flight and Dumbo the Flying Elephant among its attractions. Adventureland has the most outlandish sets and one of the best rides - Pirates of the Caribbean. Frontierland, loosely set in the Wild West, features the hair-raising roller coaster Big Thunder Mountain, modelled on a runaway mine train, and the gothic Phantom Manor. In Discoveryland there’s the terrifyingly fast Star Wars Hyperspace Mountain ride. A grand parade of floats representing all your favourite characters sallies down Main Street USA every evening, and there are regular smaller events, special shows and firework displays - these are some of the best Disneyland Paris tourist attractions.

The Walt Disney Studios Park largely focuses on what Disney was and is still renowned for - animation. It stands as one of the top Disneyland Paris attractions. You can try your hand at drawing, be part of the audience in a mocked-up film or TV set, and enjoy special effects and stunt shows. This is where you’ll find the wildly popular Ratatouille ride, where you’re “shrunk” to the size of a rat and be taken on a frantic 3D chase through a kitchen, plus three other thrilling rides. First up is the corkscrew-looping, heavy metal-playing white-knuckler of the Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster starring Aerosmith with an Iron Man and the Avengers theme. Next up is the plummeting elevator of the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror. To top it all of there is the swirling, “undersea” exhilaration of Crush’s Coaster.

Disney’s seven themed, heavily designed Disney Village hotels are a mixed bag, and only worth staying in as part of a multi-day package booked through an agent, or through Disneyland. Around 10km to the southwest, a new venture, Villages Nature Paris, a somewhat incongruous collaboration between Disney and Center Parcs, adds eco-themed waterpark fun to the mix.

You’ve seen them on the big screen (and maybe in the West End), now see them all in real life in Disneyland Paris! Kids will love watching all the performances at Disneyland Paris. A big highlight is the The Lion King Rhythms of the Pride Lands where you can hum along and sing out loud with Simba, Pumbaa and Timon. The show is running until mid-September, so get your dancing shoes on quick! Disneyland Paris sightseeing doesn’t get much better than this!

If you’re looking for Disney merchandise, you’ve come to the right place. Children (and adults) will love spending their money at the gift shops. Think Mickey Mouse mugs, Minnie Mouse headbands and fancy collectible items. Whatever you’re looking for, you will most certainly find it here.
