At a glance
Studio Photo is one of the first shops you come across at Disney Adventure World: it is on the right of the entrance, facing the fountain on Place des Frères Lumière.
The decor pays tribute to the early days of cinema, a nod to the park’s former name, Walt Disney Studios, and to the brothers who gave Place des Frères Lumière its name, French film pioneers: two vintage cameras are displayed in the window, and film set props sit alongside archive photos on the walls. From outside, look for the illuminated clock tower frontage and green doors.
The shop offers the Disney PhotoPass+ service (view and buy the photos taken by the official photographers, as prints or digital copies) and the autograph book, essential for collecting the Disney characters’ signatures.
The range also includes Mickey ears and hands, soft toys, toys, sweets, pin trading, T-shirts and jackets, stationery and pens. Being close to the park’s Baby Care Centre explains the emergency selection for little ones: nappies, wipes, cutlery, baby food jars, fruit juices, dummies and sun cream.
Vintage film cameras in the window. This entrance shop displays two vintage cameras in its window, with film set props on the walls alongside archive photos, a tribute to the park’s former name, Walt Disney Studios. Its clock tower frontage makes it easy to spot from Place des Frères Lumière, home to the square’s large fountain.

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.
