It opened on **12 April 1992**, the second Disney park outside the US after Tokyo. Today it's Europe's most visited theme park, with **16.1 million** guests in the 2023 financial year. The resort holds two theme parks, seven Disney hotels, a lake, convention centres, a golf course and **Disney Village**, a district of restaurants, shops and entertainment. Marne-la-Vallée – Chessy station sits right between the parks, served by trains from Paris and other European cities. ## What to see - **Sleeping Beauty Castle** — the park's symbol at the end of Main Street. - **Disneyland Park's five lands** — from Fantasyland to Discoveryland. - **Big Thunder Mountain** — a mine-train roller coaster. - **Pirates of the Caribbean** — a boat ride in Adventureland. - **The Avengers Campus** — the world of Marvel superheroes. - **World of Frozen** — the kingdom of Arendelle with its mountain and fjord. ## Disneyland Park The main park opens with a festive **Main Street, U.S.A.**, styled as an early-20th-century American town, leading to the pink **Sleeping Beauty Castle**. Beyond, the park divides into lands. **Fantasyland** has fairy-tale rides for little ones and It's a Small World with dolls from around the globe. **Discoveryland** has the space-themed Star Tours, the Hyperspace Mountain coaster and Buzz Lightyear's Laser Blast. In **Frontierland**, **Big Thunder Mountain** races round an island in the lake as a runaway mine train, and in **Adventureland** you'll find the Pirates of the Caribbean boats, jungles and caves. In the evening a big show of lights, fireworks and projections plays over the castle. > **Planning your day** Arrive for opening: the first hours are the quietest, with popular coasters nearly queue-free. Download the official app for wait times, the map and show times. Weekdays outside school holidays are far calmer than weekends. Dated tickets are cheaper in low season; buy on the official website. For both parks, plan two days. ## Disney Adventure World The second park, opened in **2002** as Walt Disney Studios Park, was renamed **Disney Adventure World** in **2026**. Its big new attraction is **World of Frozen**: a full-scale kingdom of Arendelle with a 36-metre mountain, the Frozen Ever After boat ride and a daytime show on the fjord. Since 2022 the park has had the **Avengers Campus**, a Marvel heroes land with rides where you 'help' Spider-Man and fly with Iron Man. There are Pixar rides too, including a Ratatouille-style race in which guests shrink to the size of a rat in a Paris kitchen. ## Hotels and Disney Village The resort's hotels ring the man-made **Lake Disney**, each themed on a corner of America: New York with a Marvel theme, New England, the northern woods, the Wild West, New Mexico. The pink Victorian-style **Disneyland Hotel** stands right at the main park's entrance. Between the parks and the station is **Disney Village**: restaurants, shops, a cinema and shows open until late. The Val d'Europe shopping centre and outlet village are nearby. Staying on site is handy if you plan two or three days in the parks. ## How to get there 1. RER A from central Paris (Châtelet, Gare de Lyon) to the terminus **Marne-la-Vallée – Chessy**, about 40 minutes. 2.
