Disneyland Paris, or “Euro Disneyland” as it’s sometimes called, opened in 1990 and is the largest of the Disney parks outside of the US, covering 140 acres. Additionally, it’s the only Disney besides Disney World Orlando that has incorporated a secondary park to its original design - adding Walt Disney Studios, which is comparable to Orlando’s Disney MGM Studios. Another thing you won’t want to miss is the Val d’Europe shopping center, situated just one stop past the theme parks on the Disney rail line.

As one of the changes to Disneyland Paris, the “Tomorrowland” of Disney World Orlando has been transformed into “Discoveryland,” which is a Jules Vernes version of the future. Here guests can find another version of Space Mountain (Space Mountain 2), which uses 1.5G’s to propel riders 43 mph through corkscrew inversions and loops. Yes, this is the only one of the Disney parks to include such dynamic features on a coaster. Star Tours, Autopia, Buzz Lightyear’s Laser Blast, Honey I Shrunk the Audience and a 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea ride are included in Discoveryland as well.

In 2002, Disneyland Paris opened a secondary Disney park with a movie theme called Walt Disney Studios. The newest land is the “Toon Studio,” where guests can go behind-the-scenes of Disney animators, participate in a drawing course taught by Mickey and Donald and check out the film set of Finding Nemo via Crush’s coaster. One of the most popular rides is the “CineMagique,” which is similar to the The Great Movie Ride at Disneyworld.
