At a glance
You reach Starport Photographs from the exit of the Starport, the meet and greet spot for Star Wars characters in Discoveryland.
The shop is devoted to the pictures taken during the audience with Darth Vader, the character you’re most likely to meet, or with other figures from the saga scheduled on certain days (Kylo Ren, Chewbacca, or Stormtroopers).
Guests view and buy their photo as a print or a digital file. With Disney PhotoPass+, you can add it to the package that collects every photo from your trip.
The sign outside spells out "STARPORT" in glowing letters above a futuristic facade, matching the space look of the Star Tours area.
Rare photos from your audience with Darth Vader. This photo shop deals only in the pictures taken during the audience with Darth Vader, the Sith Lord, or with other Star Wars characters scheduled on certain days (Kylo Ren, Chewbacca, or Stormtroopers). You can order your photos as prints or digital files, or add them to PhotoPass+ to keep all your Star Wars memories from the trip together.

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.
