At a glance
La Confiserie des Trois Fées is Fantasyland’s candy store, tucked into the courtyard of Sleeping Beauty Castle. Along with Boardwalk Candy Palace, it’s one of only two candy stores in Disneyland Park. Its theme comes from Disney’s classic Sleeping Beauty (1959), based on the fairy tale by Charles Perrault.
The building looks like a pink stone cottage set against the castle’s galleries: exposed beams, an orange-tiled roof, and a small turret. The pink flowers in the windows refer to the nickname "Rose" that the three fairies gave Princess Aurora while hiding her in the woods. On the facade, intertwined leaves frame the store’s name and painted portraits of Flora, Fauna and Merryweather.
Inside, gnarled tree trunks set the rhythm of the main room. The stained glass windows let in colored light and show candy, sugary treats, and flowers. Copper pots and pans, rolling pins, and woven baskets recall the scene of the birthday cake Fauna bakes in the movie. Behind the counter, the brick fireplace hides the best detail of all: the three fairies appear there in miniature, fluttering thanks to a pane of glass between guests and the wall. It’s the same optical trick, known as "Pepper’s ghost," used in the ballroom scene of Phantom Manor.
You’ll find candy, chocolate, cotton candy, popcorn, cakes, Disney food items, kitchen utensils, aprons, dish towels, tableware, and Munchlings figures.
The three fairies flutter above the counter. Behind the register, a brick fireplace holds an illusion where Flora, Fauna and Merryweather appear in their tiny form and flutter around, thanks to a pane of glass set between guests and the wall. The colorful stained glass shows candy and flowers, and the copper pots recall the birthday cake Fauna bakes for Aurora in the movie.
What you’ll find
History
The candy store opened on April 12, 1992, along with the park. Its first sponsor was the candy brand Smarties, under the agreement between Euro Disney and Nestlé France. That partnership ended in 2007 and was replaced on April 12, 2007, for the resort’s 15th anniversary, by a deal with Kinder, which has since ended too.

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.
