Review: Disneyland Paris, the Land of Happiness

Review: Disneyland Paris, the Land of Happiness

If you travel all the way to Paris, visiting Disneyland Paris is an absolute must, as it is the only Disneyland in Europe. In addition, it features two theme parks to enjoy, and this Disneyland has unique charms unlike any other.


Disneyland Paris

Disneyland Paris consists of two main parks: Disneyland Park, built in 1992, and Walt Disney Studios Park, built more recently in 2002. Disneyland Park was modeled after the Disneylands in Florida and California.

As for theme park tickets, you can purchase an admission ticket for a single park or a multi-park ticket allowing entry and exit to both parks with unlimited visits according to your convenience. The number of attractions in Disneyland Park and Walt Disney Studios Park is so extensive that you could hardly experience them all in one go.

Beyond the theme parks in Disneyland Park and Walt Disney Studios Park, there is also Disney Village, which feels like a community mall ideal for dining and shopping with a wide selection of restaurants and shops. In addition, there are six themed hotels available.

You can purchase admission tickets by choosing the number of days and the number of parks you wish to visit. This means that if you choose to visit Disneyland Park alone, you will not be able to enter Walt Disney Studios Park, but if you select both parks, you can enjoy access to both.


Disneyland Park

Disneyland Park is relatively larger than Walt Disney Studios Park and is divided into 5 zones as follows:



The first zone is called Main Street, U.S.A., a street leading up to Disney's castle. This zone only features shops without rides, making it ideal for shopping for souvenirs such as hats or clothing. In addition, there are barbershops, clothing boutiques, and various sweet shops, as well as a train station that connects to all 5 zones.



The 2nd zone is called Frontierland, themed after the Wild West or classic cowboy movies, decorated with scenic rock formations.

Must-visit attractions in Frontierland include Big Thunder Mountain Railroad and Phantom Manor. There is also Thunder Mesa Riverboat Landing, a riverboat cruise taking in scenic views around the lake for about 10-15 minutes. In addition, there are target shooting games like Rustler Roundup Shootin' Gallery, and an area perfect for kids called Frontierland Playground featuring climbing structures and small slides.

As for Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, it is a roller coaster that is not overly terrifying. It speeds through dark tunnels and climbs along rocky mountains that serve as the zone's backdrop. Big Thunder Mountain Railroad at Disneyland Paris is the only one in the world that circles around an island in the middle of the lake.


Another exciting attraction is Phantom Manor, a haunted mansion-themed ride that is not too scary. It features ride vehicles that are not roller coasters with gentle sweeping turns, accompanied by stunning lights, sounds, and graphics.



The 3rd zone is called Adventureland, comprising three major areas: Indiana Jones with a lush tropical rainforest feel, a dining and shopping area themed after The Lion King, followed by a cozy Aladdin corner, and Pirates of the Caribbean featuring pirate landscapes and Skull Rock.

The standout attraction in Adventureland is Pirates of the Caribbean.


Pirates of the Caribbean is a water boat ride through dark chambers featuring small drops, storytelling scenes, and figures of Captain Jack Sparrow.



The 4th zone is called Fantasyland, a zone familiar to everyone since childhood, featuring classic Disney charm without thrilling rides.

It features the Sleeping Beauty Castle, medium-sized with exquisite architectural details, surrounded by water. This castle is praised as the most beautiful and unique Disney castle. You can walk up to enjoy the castle views, see stained-glass windows depicting the story of Sleeping Beauty, and a must-see highlight: a dragon lurking underneath in the dungeon.

Must-see highlights in Fantasyland include the castle itself and the giant dragon hidden beneath it, known as The Dragon's Lair, where you can walk through and explore both the castle and the dragon.

Another enchanting attraction is Peter Pan's Flight, a ride where you board a flying ship. It is not scary like a roller coaster, featuring gentle climbs and dips, dark sections, and scenes from Peter Pan, giving you the sensation of flying alongside Peter Pan.


In addition, there are classic carousel-style rides like Lancelot's Carousel, Dumbo the Flying Elephant, and spinning teacups known as Mad Hatter's Tea Cups.

A signature Disney classic is It's a Small World, a gentle boat ride taking you through scenes filled with dolls dressed in traditional national costumes from around the globe.

Lastly, there are walk-through experiences such as navigating the hedge maze in Alice's Curious Labyrinth, along with Meet Mickey Mouse and Princess Pavilion.



The final zone is called Discoveryland, which uses this unique name in Paris while other parks call it Tomorrowland, featuring a retro-futuristic space style.

Must-try attractions include Hyperspace Mountain, Star Tours: The Adventures Continue, and Buzz Lightyear Laser Blast.

There is also an interesting walk-through attraction, Les Mystères du Nautilus, found exclusively in Paris.

Hyperspace Mountain is a fast and thrilling roller coaster set in deep space with neon lighting and dark chambers.

Star Tours: The Adventures Continue is a 3D simulator ride with stunning graphics where the motion simulator moves along with the movie on screen, and nearby is Starport for photo opportunities with Star Wars characters.
Finally, Buzz Lightyear Laser Blast is an interactive ride where you board a cruiser armed with laser blasters.

The second theme park at Disneyland Paris is Walt Disney Studios Park, which is smaller in size but features exceptionally exciting attractions, focusing on movies and Pixar themes. It features 4 compact zones.

Must-try attractions include Ratatouille: The Adventure, The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, and Crush's Coaster.


Upon entering, you will encounter Front Lot featuring Hollywood-style restaurants, shops, and a statue of Disney's founder, Walt Disney.

Walking further to the left leads to the Production Courtyard zone, which features a Stitch show and the following attractions:


The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror is a drop-tower ride themed as a haunted hotel, featuring heart-dropping plunges from up to 60 meters.

Next is the World of Pixar zone, featuring a must-ride attraction: Crush's Coaster, an indoor roller coaster newer than Hyperspace Mountain. It features spinning turtle-shell vehicles that take you on an underwater adventure into the deep sea with characters from Finding Nemo.

Finally, Remy's Ratatouille Adventure lets you embark on an adventure alongside the little rat and the chef from Ratatouille. The ride shrinks you down to the size of a rat scurrying through Paris, featuring 4D effects while riding trackless vehicles through beautifully decorated chambers.
