Disneyland Park

Disneyland Park (Paris) is a theme park at Disneyland Paris, a resort complex just outside of Paris, in the new town of Marne-la-Vallée, France. The first of two parks built at the resort, it opened as Euro Disneyland on 12 April 1992. Operated by the French company Euro Disney S.C.A., the park was designed and built by Walt Disney Imagineering and the park's layout and attractions are similar to Disneyland in Anaheim, California and the Magic Kingdom at the Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida.

Occupying 56.656 ha (140 acres), Disneyland Park is the largest Disney park based on the original in California. In 2011, Disneyland Park saw 10,990,000 visitors, making it the most visited theme park in both France and Europe, and the fifth most visited theme park in the world.

 

The park map lists forty-nine attractions in five themed "lands". Designed like a wheel with the hub on Central Plaza before "Le Château de la Belle au Bois Dormant", pathways spoke out across the 140 acres (57 ha) of Disneyland Park and lead to these five lands. The Disneyland Railroad runs along the perimeter of the park and stops in Main Street, U.S.A., Frontierland, Fantasyland and Discoveryland.

 

Different seasons offer different park opening hours and different entertainment offerings.

 

Disneyland Park hosts a range of daytime and nighttime entertainment throughout the year, although the nighttime entertainment is seasonal.
