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.

Location: Adventureland, Disneyland Park
Europe’s first Disney park opened on April 12, 1992, in Marne-la-Vallée, France. Designed by Walt Disney Imagineering, it was envisioned as a blend of American magic and French charm. However, the park's construction, which cost around $4 billion, sparked controversies about American cultural influence and economic feasibility. Originally called Euro Disney Resort, the park faced serious financial challenges in its early years due to high operational costs and lower-than-expected attendance, resulting in debt and a critical financial restructuring.
To rejuvenate interest, the park was rebranded to Disneyland Paris in 1994 and introduced new attractions, enhancing its appeal. Over time, the park gained popularity, evolving through expansions and renovations to cater to an international audience. Today, the theme park is one of Europe’s top attractions, drawing millions of visitors yearly with its unique mix of Disney’s legacy and French cultural influences, solidifying its place in European tourism.
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.
