At a glance
Light Speed Photography is the photo shop for Star Wars Hyperspace Mountain (formerly Space Mountain), at the ride’s exit in Discoveryland. This is where you collect the photos taken automatically during the launch.
The outside is inspired by a vintage photo booth, with a retro sign and strings of light bulbs, in keeping with the retro-futuristic style of Discoveryland.
You can order your photos as 15x20 or 20x25 frames, keyrings, magnets and personalised mugs. Photo and frame bundles are available, as well as single photos. Disney PhotoPass+ lets you add these memories to your trip’s digital package.
The shop also sells Space Mountain collectables, including frames released for the ride’s anniversaries, and has a drinks and snacks counter (popcorn, sweets, crisps).

Your questions about this shop
01 Where can you shop for Disney merchandise at Disneyland Paris?
You have four main options: the shops in Disneyland Park (mainly on Main Street U.S.A. and in each land), the shops in Disney Adventure World, the shops in Disney Village (no park ticket needed) and your hotel shop if you’re staying at an official Disney Hotel. I go through the main shops in my dedicated article.
02 Can you shop without carrying your bags all day?
Yes. The Shopping Service lets you have your purchases sent to a collection point, to pick up later in the shop, or as you leave the park in another shop, or even in the shop at your Disney Hotel. The service is free in most shops (above a minimum spend). Just ask the sales assistant when you pay.
03 What are the shops’ opening hours?
The shops in the parks roughly follow the parks’ opening hours, often opening a little earlier on Main Street U.S.A. and closing a little later after the night-time show. The Disney Village shops have their own opening hours, usually later into the evening. The exact times are in the Disneyland Paris app.
04 Can you order Disneyland Paris merchandise online?
There’s no official Disneyland Paris online shop. To buy from home, you can go to the Disney Store website (formerly shopDisney), which sells official Disney merchandise and sometimes a few Disneyland Paris-specific products. At the resort, you buy directly in the shops.
