At a glance
Leaving The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, you exit straight into Tower Hotel Gifts, in the World Premiere Plaza land. Here the tale of the Hollywood Tower Hotel goes on: an imaginary 1930s Hollywood hotel that lightning struck and left stuck in time.
Inside, the decor borrows the codes of that era’s Art Deco style: dark wood display cases, dim lighting, vintage suitcases, and archive photographs. A large stylized painting of the hotel covers one wall, and one of the paintings hides a Hidden Mickey (a Mickey silhouette tucked into the decor). Film props and period photos tie it back to the former Walt Disney Studios park.
The merchandise covers clothing, accessories, Disney ears, plush toys, toys, decor, and pins, along with Hollywood Tower Hotel exclusives: door hangers, bells, and room number plates featuring the hotel’s branding. A line devoted to Jack Skellington and The Nightmare Before Christmas rounds out the selection. This is also where you pick up the souvenir photo taken during your drop into the fourth dimension, as a print, a digital file, or through Disney PhotoPass+.
A lobby straight out of a deserted (and fictional) hotel. Sitting at the exit of The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, this souvenir shop opened in 2007 and keeps the Hollywood Tower Hotel story going: a made-up 1930s hotel struck by lightning and frozen in time. Dark wood display cases, dim lighting, vintage suitcases, and archive photographs fill the space in pure Hollywood Art Deco style.

Who it’s made for
Pros and cons
The highlights
- You can grab your ride photos on the spot
- Art Deco interiors that bring back the mood of the 1930s
- Items you can only get with the Hollywood Tower Hotel name, like door hangers and room number plates
- You walk in straight from the ride exit
The downsides
- Small sales floor
- Gets crowded each time a ride vehicle unloads
- You walk through it after the ride, with no separate entrance clearly signposted
My verdict
The perfect ride exit. After the drop, you land in the hotel lobby, and instead of breaking the spell, the shop keeps the story going: Art Deco, old suitcases, period photos…
The Hollywood Tower Hotel exclusives (room number plates, bells, door hangers) make it a real souvenir stop, not just a place you have to pass through.
Julie’s tip
Best time to go
Right after your drop on The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror: the shop is the ride exit, and your drop photo is waiting there.

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.
