At a glance
Starport Photographs is reached from the exit of the Starport, the meeting spot for characters from the Star Wars world, in Discoveryland.
The space is given over to the photos taken during your audience with Darth Vader, the character you’ll meet most often, or with other figures from the saga scheduled depending on the day (Kylo Ren, Chewbacca or Stormtroopers).
You view and buy your photo as a print or a digital copy. Disney PhotoPass+ lets you add it to the package that brings together all the photos of your trip.
The outside sign shows "STARPORT" in illuminated letters above a futuristic frontage, in the same galactic style as the Star Tours area.
Rare photos from your audience with Darth Vader. This photo shop deals only with the photos taken during the audience with Darth Vader, the Sith Lord, or with other Star Wars characters scheduled depending on the day (Kylo Ren, Chewbacca or Stormtroopers). You can order the photos as prints, as digital copies or added to PhotoPass+ to keep all the Star Wars memories of your trip.

History
The shop sits on a site with plenty of history: it replaces the former Star Traders, which closed in 2016 and moved into the main building of Star Tours: The Adventures Continue after major renovation work.

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.
