Disneyland in Paris - Destination Guide to Paris

Disneyland Paris, a theme park covering an area of almost 2000 bee-lares/5000 acres, a gigantic fairyland of fantasy and adventure with over 50 rides in five magic lands and a variety of shows, parades and other events, was opened in April 1992. Like the whole of the French tourist trade, Disneyland was hit by the economic recession,and the further development that was planned has been postponed.

The seven theme hotels are within a few minutes’ walk of the park. There is a bus service to the Davy Crockett camping site. Other amenities for visitors are swimming pools, bicycle hire, pony rides, tennis courts and a golf course. Facilities for refreshment range from the exclusive Victorian- style Walt’s Restaurant by way of a variety of specialist eateries scattered about the park to the snack wagons selling hot popcorn, hot cogs, bagels and other American-style delicacies.

In Disneyland’s busy Victorian-style Main Street USA visitors can take a ride in a veteran automobile or a horse-tram of turn-of-the-century vintage; in Liberty Court they can be present at the inauguration of the Statue of Liberty in 1886; they can learn about the great inventions of the Industrial Revolution in Discovery Arcade; they can be shaved in the Harmony Barber Shop as in the good old days; and they may be tempted by the nostalgic general stores with their giant lollipops, brightly coloured ices or other delicacies.

The best way of getting a general impression of the wonders of Disneyland is to take a trip on the Disneyland Railroad. The train, drawn by a steam engine, runs by way of the Grand Canyon Diorama to Frontierland and Fantasyland Station before returning via Discoveryland to Main Street
