Disneyland Paris rides: Premier Access, queues and restrictions

Disneyland Paris has 50 attractions in total, spread across the two parks. You’ll find 37 attractions in Disneyland Park and 13 attractions in Disney Adventure World. I’ve listed every attraction park by park and land by land in my dedicated article, so you can plan your visit without missing a thing.

Disneyland Park clearly has more attractions than Disney Adventure World. I count 37 attractions in Disneyland Park against 13 attractions in Disney Adventure World. That makes sense: the original park opened in 1992 and has grown over more than thirty years, while Disney Adventure World is still in the middle of its transformation. If you’re visiting for a single day and want to fit in as many attractions as possible, I recommend starting with Disneyland Park.

Disneyland Park is split into 5 themed lands. Main Street U.S.A. has 5 experiences, including rides in period vehicles and the covered arcades. Adventureland has 7 attractions, including Pirates of the Caribbean, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Peril, La Cabane des Robinson and Le Passage Enchanté d’Aladdin. Discoveryland lines up 6 futuristic attractions such as Star Wars Hyperspace Mountain, Star Tours and Buzz Lightyear Laser Blast. Fantasyland has the most, with 13 attractions inspired by fairy tales, including Sleeping Beauty Castle and La Tanière du Dragon. Frontierland offers 6 Wild West attractions, including Big Thunder Mountain and Phantom Manor.

Disney Adventure World, which replaces the former Walt Disney Studios Park, is now organised into 6 lands. World Premiere Plaza (2 attractions) is home to Tower of Terror, Les Tapis Volants - Flying Carpets Over Agrabah and the World Premiere hub. Avengers Campus (2 attractions) brings together Avengers Assemble: Flight Force and Spider-Man W.E.B. Adventure. Worlds of Pixar (7 attractions) groups Crush’s Coaster, Ratatouille, RC Racer, Cars Quatre Roues Rallye, Cars ROAD TRIP, Slinky Dog Zigzag Spin and Toy Soldiers Parachute Drop. World of Frozen (only one ride for now), which opened on 29 March 2026, is home to Frozen Ever After. Adventure Way (1 attraction) has Raiponce Tangled Spin.

For a first visit to Disneyland Park, I strongly recommend a handful of essentials. Big Thunder Mountain is the most popular ride in the park, with thrills the whole family can enjoy. Phantom Manor is still something special, with a really well-crafted atmosphere. Pirates of the Caribbean is an immersive boat ride that kids and grown-ups love. Peter Pan’s Flight, although it’s short, is an iconic ride that is always in demand. Star Wars Hyperspace Mountain is the park’s big thrill ride. And don’t forget Sleeping Beauty Castle, which rises to 50 metres and remains the symbol of Disneyland Paris.

At Disney Adventure World, I have my favourite rides. Tower of Terror, at 63 metres, is the tallest ride in the whole of Disneyland Paris and guarantees big thrills. Avengers Assemble: Flight Force is still the fastest ride in the resort. Crush’s Coaster is a cult favourite but has the longest queues. Ratatouille is an immersive ride you shouldn’t miss. Frozen Ever After, in the new World of Frozen land that opened on 29 March 2026, is the big new ride you really must try. Spider-Man W.E.B. Adventure completes the list of highlights at Avengers Campus.

Three rides at Disneyland Paris have inversions. Avengers Assemble: Flight Force, in Avengers Campus, is an indoor launched rollercoaster with inversions, all in the dark. Star Wars Hyperspace Mountain, in Discoveryland, is also an indoor launched rollercoaster with inversions, with a space theme. Indiana Jones and the Temple of Peril has an outdoor loop. If you love big thrills, these are really the three to try first. The minimum height is 1.20 m for the first two and 1.40 m for the last one.

Here are the minimum heights for the thrill rides at Disneyland Paris. In Disneyland Park: Autopia 0.81 m, Star Tours and Big Thunder Mountain 1.02 m, Star Wars Hyperspace Mountain 1.20 m, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Peril 1.40 m. In Disney Adventure World: Toy Soldiers Parachute Drop 0.81 m, The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror 1.02 m, Crush’s Coaster 1.07 m, Avengers Assemble: Flight Force and RC Racer 1.20 m. The other rides have no height restrictions, which makes them ideal for families with young children.

Several rides at Disneyland Paris can frighten young children even without a height restriction. Blanche-Neige et les Sept Nains, in Fantasyland, has dark scenes with the witch that can catch them off guard. Les Voyages de Pinocchio also has some unsettling scenes. La Tanière du Dragon, under Sleeping Beauty Castle, is home to a very impressive animatronic dragon. Phantom Manor, in Frontierland, plays on a ghostly atmosphere and is really intense for toddlers. Pirates of the Caribbean switches between cheerful moments and darker scenes. I’d suggest watching how your child reacts before you get on.

To avoid long queues at Disneyland Paris, I combine several tactics. First, Single Rider is free and really speeds things up on the rides that offer it, including Crush’s Coaster, Flight Force, Ratatouille and Spider-Man, as long as you’re happy not to ride with your group. Next, Disney Premier Access is a paid service that gives you priority access to the headline rides. If you’re staying in a Disney hotel, Extra Magic Time lets you into the park before official opening, and it’s the best time to ride the popular attractions back to back without queuing. Finally, heading to the most popular rides during a parade or a big show empties the queues considerably.

Disneyland Paris publishes the list of ride closures around 2 to 3 months in advance. For major rides, the park tells visitors about planned construction work at least two months before it starts. I recommend checking the official calendar (or my dedicated page) a few weeks before your visit, as dates can change. That way you avoid the nasty surprise of finding out on the day that your favourite ride is being refurbished.

World of Frozen opened to the public on 29 March 2026 at Disney Adventure World, after previews for annual pass holders on 15, 18 and 23-25 March. Across 9,800 m², you can enjoy Frozen Ever After, an immersive water dark ride in the world of Anna and Elsa. The Nordic Crowns Tavern restaurant serves Nordic food. The show A Celebration in Arendelle takes place by the lake with an Audio-Animatronics Olaf. You can meet Anna and Elsa at dedicated spots. The land is towered over by a 36-metre snowy mountain and Elsa’s 13-metre ice palace with over 300 crystals.

Disneyland Paris publishes the list of rides closed for refurbishment on its official website, several weeks in advance. Because the parks are open all year round, the maintenance teams sometimes work on days when the parks are open, which leads to temporary closures. My advice: check this calendar (or the one on my blog) before booking, especially if there’s one particular ride you really care about.

Yes, the queue times shown in the app or on the screens around the park are generally reliable. They’re often the same as, or slightly longer than, the real wait, which helps you plan your day better.

The Lion King land is planned for Disney Adventure World. For now, no opening date has been announced. The land is, however, in development as part of the ongoing transformation of Disney Adventure World, and you can follow the progress of the works in my article dedicated to the land.

That’s a different topic from the park’s big celebrations. Everything is covered in the article dedicated to celebrating your own birthday at the park.

No. There’s no suite or bookable room inside the castle, not even for VIPs. The park’s prestige suite is in another building, the Disneyland Hotel, at the park entrance. The rumour comes from a mix-up with Cinderella Castle at Walt Disney World, in Florida, which really does have a suite.

It was a deliberate choice by the park’s creators. Rather than copy a historic European castle, they wanted to invent a storybook castle. Sleeping Beauty fitted that idea, drawing on Neuschwanstein, Mont Saint-Michel, the Château d’Ussé and the artwork of the 1959 film.

Yes. The dragon lives in La Tanière du Dragon, a cellar under the castle, below the Merlin l’Enchanteur shop. It’s a giant animatronic, and Disneyland Paris is the only Disney park to have put a dragon under its castle. The details are on the dedicated La Tanière du Dragon page.

Yes, a few tall outdoor rides can close temporarily in high winds, for safety reasons. The vast majority of rides, indoors or close to the ground, stay open as normal.

The rat-shaped vehicles move without tracks on the ground, which lets them turn, reverse and glide freely through the sets to mimic a real chase. This technology was tested in secret for months in a warehouse in the US before the opening. The exact technique is explained on the ride’s page.

The minimum height to ride Star Wars Hyperspace Mountain is 1.20 m. It was lowered to this level when the ride switched to its Star Wars version in 2017, with the arrival of new rocket trains. You’ll find all the practical details on the ride’s page.

It’s the story of the Hollywood Tower Hotel, a fictional luxury hotel for film stars in Hollywood. On 31 October 1939, during a storm, lightning strikes the hotel and five people in a lift vanish, swept into another dimension. The hotel has stood abandoned ever since.

The queue and the library are packed with nods to episodes of The Twilight Zone: broken glasses (Time Enough at Last), chalk marks and a little girl’s voice in the boiler room (Little Girl Lost), envelopes addressed to Rod Serling (A World of His Own). The furniture comes from European flea markets and the dust is added by hand.

She’s Sally Shine, a child film star and one of the five people who vanished in 1939. She’s the most recognisable figure in the story: the 2019 Disneyland Paris version puts this little girl at the centre of its three new drop sequences.

W.E.B. stands for Worldwide Engineering Brigade. It’s the workshop that brings together the world’s best young engineers around Tony Stark, and it’s also the name of the building that houses the Spider-Man ride. The word "web" is a deliberate nod to Spider-Man.

The Spider-Man queue, designed as Peter Parker’s workshop, is packed with nods: a Luxo lamp (Pixar’s logo), a "Lucky Dog" pizza box (Hawkeye’s dog), Peter’s bike identical to the one in the films and labels with numbers that refer to real comics. The land also pays tribute to Stan Lee with a plaque dedicated to him. For Hidden Mickeys and secrets across the whole park, see my guides to the Hidden Mickeys and the secrets of Disneyland Paris.

In the 1940s, the archaeologist Indiana Jones sets off to find a lost city in the jungle. Instead he discovers a temple forgotten for a thousand years, dedicated to the god Shiva. His team digs into the hill and lays mine tracks to carry the treasures away, then abandons the site. You board these abandoned mine carts and hurtle through the ruins.

The ride opened on 30 July 1993, in Adventureland. It was a first in the Disney world, becoming the first rollercoaster in a Disney park with an inversion, in other words a loop.

Yes. From 1 April 2000 to 27 November 2004, it ran as "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Peril: Backwards!". The trains were turned round and sent out in reverse, with two extra seats per car. It then went back to its original direction.

The temple is dedicated to Shiva, one of the great gods of Hindu mythology. Two cobra statues, the Naga serpent, guard the staircase because this snake is a symbol of Shiva. It’s also a nod to Indiana Jones’s fear of snakes, well known from the films.

The scenery is full of references to the films: Indy’s fedora and whip on some scaffolding, a crate addressed to Marcus Brody at Barnett College (his fictional university), a Willys Jeep and a period lorry, Esso jerrycans from the original sponsor and a statue of Shiva in front of a tent.

The Rider Switch (formerly Baby Switch) doesn’t depend on age but on your child’s height compared with the ride. As soon as they’re too short for a ride’s minimum height, you can use it: one parent stays with them while the other rides, then you swap without queuing again. The height requirements are listed in my guide to the minimum height for each ride.

Spain had the weather on its side, but France won thanks to its central position in Europe, its excellent transport links (the RER suburban train, the A4 motorway and a future TGV high-speed rail station) and a huge population nearby: around 68 million people within 4 hours’ drive. The French government also offered very attractive financial terms and highlighted the thousands of jobs created for the area.

The opening was celebrated with a big gala evening on 11 April 1992, broadcast worldwide in five languages, with artists such as Cher, Tina Turner, Gloria Estefan and the Gipsy Kings. However, no senior French officials attended the ceremony, and President François Mitterrand was absent.

The park made heavy losses from its first years and came close to bankruptcy: attendance was far below forecasts (around 25,000 visitors a day in May 1992 instead of the 60,000 expected), costs were too high, entry prices were seen as steep and several choices were poorly suited to European visitors. The debt reached around 3 billion dollars by summer 1994. A rescue plan, with Prince Al-Walid buying into the company, saved the resort, followed by the change of name to Disneyland Paris.

Building work started on 3 August 1988 and lasted about four years, until the opening in April 1992. At the time it was billed as one of the biggest building sites in Europe, with several thousand workers from all over the continent. Some parts, such as the Sequoia Lodge hotel, weren’t finished until 1993.

It’s a seasonal event activity, so there’s no guarantee it will return and the details can change. It may come back during Halloween. To find out what’s on this year, check the Halloween programme.

No, Phantom Manor has no minimum age and no minimum height: everyone can ride it. It’s a gentle, dark ride with a mysterious atmosphere, but without anything truly frightening or any big thrills. Very young children who are sensitive to the dark may find it a little scary, so it’s your call.

The ride opened to the public on 10 July 2014. It had been inaugurated a few days earlier, on 21 June 2014, by Bob Iger, then CEO of The Walt Disney Company. Construction had started back in 2012 under an internal working name, Ratatouille: Désastre en Cuisine.

Yes. It’s on the first floor of the castle, reached by the stairs or by the lift at the back of the Merlin l’Enchanteur shop. You’ll see stained-glass windows and a view over Fantasyland. It follows the castle’s indoor opening times.

In the starry room in Discoveryland, by Videopolis. It’s a quiet room with a star-studded ceiling, where you can rest and charge your devices during a break.

There are 6 Disney resorts with theme parks, making 12 parks in total: 2 in California, 4 in Florida, 2 in Tokyo, 2 at Disneyland Paris, 1 in Hong Kong and 1 in Shanghai. A seventh resort is planned in Abu Dhabi.

Disneyland Resort (California): Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure. Walt Disney World (Florida): Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Hollywood Studios, Animal Kingdom. Tokyo Disney Resort: Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea. Disneyland Paris: Disneyland Park and Disney Adventure World. Hong Kong Disneyland: just one park. Shanghai Disney Resort: Shanghai Disneyland.

It’s the name of the 2019 makeover of the Paris version. It added new effects, a remixed soundtrack and three different drop sequences: the broken-down machine, the creatures from the shaft and the fifth dimension. Depending on your ride, the lift plays one or another, all centred on Sally Shine.

Remy, the rat chef, wants to cook you a ratatouille. To follow him, you’re shrunk to the size of a rat, then you flee through the kitchens and walls of Gusteau’s restaurant, chased by Chef Skinner. At the end, Remy and Gusteau wave you off while the rat colony tucks in. It’s the Pixar film carried on, seen through a rat’s eyes.

Yes. For ten years, you wore 3D glasses to watch the projections. During a major refurbishment launched in October 2025, Disney replaced all the projectors, dropped 3D in favour of sharper 2D images and added a new artist’s workshop scene in the queue and new giant sets. The story itself hasn’t changed.

La Place de Rémy is full of nods: rats sleeping in the street lamps at night, Linguini’s bike, Skinner’s Vespa and Colette’s motorbike in the scenery, rats and champagne bottles in the fountains and Remy sailing on Gusteau’s cookbook on the manhole covers. At Bistrot Chez Rémy, the furniture is made of giant kitchen objects.

In the story Disney came up with, Tony Stark took over an old industrial site and turned it into a Campus: an open base where the Avengers discover, train and recruit the next generation of heroes. As a visitor, you play the role of a recruit. The centrepiece of the story is the Worldwide Engineering Brigade (W.E.B.), the workshop of young engineers set up by Stark, which includes Peter Parker.

Flight Force is the makeover of Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster avec Aerosmith, a launched rollercoaster that opened in 2002 with an Aerosmith soundtrack. It closed in 2019, and the ride (a Vekoma coaster) was kept and re-themed around Iron Man, with a new pre-show, new voices and, in 2023, projection effects added inside.

Since 1995, Space Mountain has had three versions under the same dome. De la Terre à la Lune (1995-2005), inspired by Jules Verne’s novel, catapulted you to the Moon with the Baltimore Gun Club. Mission 2 (2005-2017) offered a journey beyond the galaxy. Since 7 May 2017, the ride has been Star Wars Hyperspace Mountain, which throws you into the Battle of Jakku.

It was the original 1995 version, directly inspired by Jules Verne’s novel De la Terre à la Lune. The story carried on from the book: the Baltimore Gun Club offered everyone a trip to the Moon aboard a rocket train fired from a giant cannon, the Columbiad. The ride featured an asteroid knocking you off course and an on-board orchestral soundtrack by Steve Bramson.

It’s one of the most intense rides at Disneyland Paris. It has a launched start, runs in the dark and has three inversions (including a full loop). If fast rollercoasters and going upside down aren’t your thing, it can be daunting. For details on the thrills, see the Star Wars Hyperspace Mountain page.

Because at Disneyland Paris it stands in Discoveryland, a land dedicated to visionaries like Jules Verne. The original version was inspired by his novel De la Terre à la Lune: the Columbiad cannon reproduced in front of the entrance and the Baltimore Gun Club story come straight from it. Even after the theme changes, the decorative cannon has stayed.

Two from the start: Euro Disneyland (today’s Disneyland Park) and a second park, the Disney-MGM Studios Europe. The site had also been designed to take more parks in the long run, with large land reserves.

The project was frozen from mid-1992 because of the resort’s financial difficulties. It was revived much later, in a heavily scaled-down version: Walt Disney Studios opened on 16 March 2002, with only three of the nine originally planned rides up and running on opening day.

Seven hotels with 5,800 rooms in total, each representing a region of the US, from the Disneyland Hotel to the Cheyenne and the Newport Bay by the lake.

The architect Frank Gehry, known for his rusted steel towers under a canopy of lights. Festival Disney was later renamed Disney Village.

The ride opened in 1992, on the park’s opening day, in Adventureland. It’s one of the very first rides at Disneyland Paris and was there from day one, long before the films came out.

Both rides opened on the park’s opening day, 12 April 1992 (the park was then called Euro Disneyland). Big Thunder Mountain has the distinction of being the only one of the world’s four Big Thunder mountains to have opened on its park’s very first day.

The Imagineers reversed the order of the scenes compared with the other parks to make the story more chronological: you start with the attack on the Spanish fort, then the looting, and end with the curse. The two waterfalls mark the turning points. This makes the Paris version the most story-driven Pirates at Disney.

No, it’s the other way round. The first version opened in 1967, while the first film came out in 2003 and was inspired by the ride. In Paris, where it opened in 1992, characters from the films such as Jack Sparrow and Barbossa were only added in 2017.

The ride reopened in July 2017 with two latest-generation Audio-Animatronics figures, Jack Sparrow and Hector Barbossa, a reworked final auction scene (Jack grabs the treasure map), an arsenal explosion that sends the boats into the grotto and a fully remixed soundtrack featuring themes from the films.

The Paris ride has over 100 Audio-Animatronics characters. Their movements range from a simple repeated gesture to imitating an actor’s performance, like the sword-fighting duellists. As for the treasure in the grotto, it’s made up of nearly 50,000 coins glued on by hand.

Since the refurbishment, the official version reveals that the Phantom is Henry Ravenswood, Melanie’s father. Back from the dead, he poisoned his daughter’s suitors one after another to keep her by his side. The mystery over his identity was kept up on purpose for years, from the opening in 1992 until the refurbishment.

Big Thunder Mountain tells the story of a mountain in the American West full of gold and silver, guarded by the Thunderbird, a spirit from Native American folklore. Prospectors strike gold there in 1853, but when dynamite desecrates the rock, the Thunderbird wakes up and unleashes its fury. The earthquake of 1860 destroys the mine and the town. Since then, the locomotives have raced round the mountain on their own, with no driver. The runaway mine train you ride is this curse in action.

Yes. All three attractions belong to the fictional town of Thunder Mesa, a deliberate choice by Tony Baxter’s Imagineers. The mountain’s gold makes Henry Ravenswood’s fortune, and he builds the town and the manor. The desecration of the mountain wakes the Thunderbird, whose fury causes the earthquake of 1860 that kills the Ravenswoods and dooms the town. The Riverboat, for its part, sails round the river and lets you see all these places together.

Among the most striking: the Latin motto "Non Omnis Moriar" carved at the entrance to the manor ("I shall not wholly die", from Horace), Melanie appearing at a window on the facade with a candle in her hand, the manor visible both from the train and from the boat, and the animated scenes of Big Thunder Mountain (the goat, the donkeys, the smoking dynamite). For Hidden Mickeys and secrets from across the park, see the dedicated articles.

Yes, and increasingly so. Since its transformation, the second park has been home to Avengers Campus, Worlds of Pixar, the World of Frozen land and the Adventure Way area. Allow at least half a day, or even a full day depending on your pace and the queue times. To get in, you need a 2-park ticket.

Yes. Your park ticket gets you into the castle at no extra cost. You can go up to La Galerie de la Belle au Bois Dormant upstairs (stained-glass windows and tapestries) and go down to see the dragon in La Tanière du Dragon, in the cellar. Go during the day: both areas close before the park.

You board a rat-shaped vehicle that moves without tracks on the ground, which lets it turn, reverse and glide to mimic a real chase through Gusteau’s kitchens. Since the refurbishment launched in October 2025, the ride has dropped 3D glasses in favour of sharper 2D images, so you no longer need glasses.

The fastest ride at Disneyland Paris is Avengers Assemble: Flight Force, which reaches 92 km/h (57 mph). You’ll find it in Disney Adventure World, in the Avengers Campus land. It’s an indoor launched rollercoaster with inversions, set in the world of the Avengers (minimum height 1.20 m). It beats Star Wars Hyperspace Mountain and RC Racer.

No. It’s the second park at Disneyland Paris, the former Walt Disney Studios Park, which has been transformed and expanded. There are still two parks in total.

Walt Disney Studios Park is now called Disney Adventure World. The new name was launched on 29 March 2026.

Avengers Campus opened on 20 July 2022, in the park then called Walt Disney Studios (now Disney Adventure World). Its two big rides, Spider-Man W.E.B. Adventure and Avengers Assemble: Flight Force, opened on the same day.

The ride opened in December 2007, in the second park (Walt Disney Studios at the time), after several years of delays caused by the resort’s financial difficulties. The same ride had already opened in California in 2004. In Paris, it was given a major overhaul in September 2019.

The tallest ride at Disneyland Paris is The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, at 55 m. You’ll find it in Disney Adventure World. It takes you on a controlled drop, faster than free fall, and dominates the park’s skyline. Worth knowing: Sleeping Beauty Castle rises to around 45 m and is the tallest building in Disneyland Park, but it isn’t a thrill ride.

It depends on the type of work. Routine maintenance lasts anything from a few days to a few weeks. A major refurbishment runs for several months, often four to six months. For long closures, Disney sometimes announces the reopening date late.

The park opened on 12 April 1992, under the name Euro Disney. A big gala evening broadcast worldwide had taken place the day before, on 11 April. It’s the resort’s first park. The second opened in 2002.

A baby has no minimum height: they can go on all the gentle rides. For thrill rides where they’re too short, use the Rider Switch (formerly Baby Switch): one parent rides while the other looks after the baby, then you swap without queuing again. Height requirements then vary from ride to ride (often from 102 cm, 120 cm or 140 cm): the details are in my guide to the minimum height for each ride.

Yes. The Disneyland Park hunts (Adventureland, Frontierland and the seasonal hunts) are free and included in your entry ticket. There’s no need to book.

Yes, and at no extra cost: your park ticket gets you into the castle. You can go up to La Galerie de la Belle au Bois Dormant upstairs (stained-glass windows and tapestries) and go down to see the dragon in La Tanière du Dragon, in the cellar. The castle’s two shops are on the ground floor. Go during the day: both areas close before the park.

Head for the entrance to the Adventure Isle caves, next to Pirates of the Caribbean. Scrolls displayed on site give you the list of objects to find as you explore the caverns. There’s nothing to pick up first: you set off searching straight away.

Ask a Cast Member in Frontierland for the hunt flyer. Spot at least 10 of the 17 nuggets hidden around Thunder Mesa, note them on your flyer, then show it at the till in the Thunder Mesa Mercantile Building shop for your reward.

It’s a Mickey silhouette deliberately hidden in the scenery by Disney’s Imagineers: a large circle for the head, two small circles for the ears. You’ll find them in queues, murals, furniture and even on the ground. Spotting as many Hidden Mickeys as possible is a very popular game, and I share a list in my dedicated article.

These hunts suit the whole family. The youngest look for the objects and stick on the clues with their parents’ help, while older kids read the scrolls and fill in the flyer on their own. It’s an observation activity, with nothing physically demanding.

The two arcades on Main Street U.S.A.: Liberty Arcade on the left and Discovery Arcade on the right. They let you walk the whole length of the street under cover, and avoid the crowds during the parade or at closing time.

The dragon is in La Tanière du Dragon, in the basement of Sleeping Beauty Castle. It’s the largest animatronic in the park (27 metres). Go during the day: the lair closes before the park does.

It changed a lot between 2023 and 2026. For details of its current shops and restaurants, see my Disney Village guide.

Not to be missed: Frozen Ever After in the new World of Frozen, the two Avengers Campus rides (Avengers Assemble: Flight Force and Spider-Man W.E.B. Adventure) and, for Pixar, Ratatouille and Crush’s Coaster. For big thrills, the Tower of Terror is still a safe bet. Save time for the shows Mickey and the Magician and TOGETHER too, and for Disney Cascade of Lights after dark. Plan ahead for the World of Frozen queue, which has been very popular since it opened.

No. Disney Adventure World is one of the two parks at Disneyland Paris. A 2-park ticket gets you in, just as it did for the former Walt Disney Studios Park.

Avengers Campus, Worlds of Pixar, World Premiere, Adventure Way and World of Frozen are open. The Lion King land is still to come.

On the vast majority of rides, no, you can ride without any problem: seats and safety bars are designed for a wide range of body shapes. The restraints are tighter on a few rollercoasters, especially Crush’s Coaster. There’s no test seat at the ride entrances. If in doubt, ask a Cast Member at boarding, who will discreetly check with you.

Disney doesn’t publish an official number, so the total remains a secret. For my part, I spot and photograph the ones I come across on my visits: you’ll find my personal list in this article.

Yes, the park should celebrate its 35th birthday in spring 2027. So far, no anniversary parade or night-time show has been officially announced. This page will be updated as soon as Disney shares news.
