At a glance
Constellations sits at the entrance to Discoveryland, next door to the Buzz Lightyear Laser Blast ride, and carries its story right into the shop.
Since 2006, the store has been themed around the space adventures of Buzz Lightyear and Toy Story. The heart of the sales floor is a plush display crowned by a statue of Buzz Lightyear in a heroic pose, facing the main entrance so you can spot it from outside.
Outside, a sculpted mural celebrates Discoveryland and its standout attractions. At the far end of that mural, a display case from 1992 is still there: this leftover from the Jules Verne era shows inventions of the past, a reminder of the shop’s first retro-futuristic theme, back when Le Visionarium was next door.
The selection includes plush toys, Buzz Lightyear and Jessie costumes, Toy Story, Marvel, and Pixar toys, accessories, pin trading, mugs, bowls and glasses, hats, lollipops and candy, plus cold drinks.
A Buzz Lightyear statue in the middle of the shop. The centerpiece is a plush display topped by a statue of Buzz Lightyear striking a heroic pose, which you can see from outside. The shop has had a Pixar theme since 2006. Before that, it followed the Jules Verne retro-futuristic style of Le Visionarium, the attraction that stood in the neighboring area back then.

When the park opened in 1992, the shop shared Discoveryland’s retro-futuristic theme, in step with the former attraction Le Visionarium, a tribute to visionaries like Jules Verne. Since 2006, it has been themed around Buzz Lightyear and Toy Story.

Your questions about this shop
01 Where can you buy Disney merchandise at Disneyland Paris?
There are four main places to shop: Disneyland Park (Main Street U.S.A. above all, plus every land), Disney Adventure World, Disney Village (open to everyone, no park ticket required), and, if you book an official Disney hotel, the shop inside your hotel. My dedicated article walks you through the main shops.
02 Is there a way to shop without lugging bags around all day?
Yes. The Shopping Service lets you have your purchases sent to a pickup point, so you can collect them later at the same shop, at another shop on your way out of the park, or even at your Disney hotel’s shop. The service is free in most shops (with a minimum purchase). Just ask the cast member at checkout.
03 What are the shop hours?
Shops inside the parks roughly follow park hours, often opening a little earlier on Main Street U.S.A. and closing a little later after the nighttime show. Disney Village shops have their own hours, usually running later into the evening. You’ll find the exact hours in the Disneyland Paris app.
04 Can you buy Disneyland Paris merchandise online?
There’s no official Disneyland Paris online store. To shop from home, you can use the Disney Store website (formerly shopDisney), which sells official Disney merchandise and sometimes a few items specific to Disneyland Paris. At the resort itself, you buy everything directly in the shops.
