About a half hour train ride outside of Paris is Disneyland Paris. Although the architecture and style of the parks make them easily identifiable to any Disney fan, the parks themselves are slightly different than their American counterparts. Frequent visitors to Walt Disney World, in particular, in the United States will begin to recognize the unmistakable architecture of the Disney resorts scattered about the French countryside when the train is still about ten minutes from the parks. The Metro Station for Disneyland Paris is literally right outside the entrance. Once disembarking from the train, one needs only follow the signs, which are in several languages, to the ticket center.
Disneyland Paris is actually two parks and a somewhat scaled down version of Downtown Disney at Walt Disney World Resort in Florida. As one would expect, Disney Studios is very similar to and offers many of the same attractions as its American counterpart. Disneyland Paris is the Parisian version of The Magic Kingdom/The original Disneyland Park.
The primary difference tourists who have visited the American versions will notice is in size and scale. By contrast, the Parisian parks are rather scaled down and are less intense. Still, schedule permitting, most fans of the American Disney parks will find a visit to Disneyland Paris amusing and worthwhile. In particular, the Parisian version of The Pirates of the Caribbean sticks out as the one attraction that is superior to that of its American counterparts. Also of note is the Haunted Mansion. Besides having a bit more of a mature and serious tone than either of the American Haunted Mansions, Disney fans will notice the Parisian Haunted Mansion has a wild west ghost town in the place of the infamous graveyards found in the American versions--a scene that would probably amuse any American.
Expect to pay about $50 American for a one day, one park admission to Disneyland Paris or about $65 American for a one day, two park ticket. Multi-day passes are also available in various combinations for between $110-$150 American. Hours of Operation vary but the parks usually open about 8:00 a.m. and closing times fluctuate between 6:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m., depending on the time of year. Of note, it's possible to see both parks in one day, stamina permitting. Each park takes approximately a half day to see.
AnswerMany of the attractions are similar, but with a European flair. Visitors report that the Pirates of the Carribean, in particular, is more fun than the stateside attractions.
If you're expecting the usual Disney service and attention to detail at the California and Florida parks, you will be disappointed. The Paris parks are not maintained as well, i.e: trash in the water features, the water itself sometimes green with algae, some serious painting and repairs are in order. Many gift shops but they all sell the same stuff! I wouldn't bother with these parks, with Paris and so many other authentic attractions nearby. The train from Paris drops you in a small town 5 miles away and you have to wait up to 30 minutes for another train to continue the trip! The prices (Sept. 2009) are much higher than previously quoted, $70 for one day typical, and most meals inside the park are at a minimum $20.yes there is also 4 other parks
Anaheim Disneyland was the first made and with the most rides
Orlando Magic kingdom was second
Tokyo Disneyland was the third
Paris Disneyland was the fourth
and
Hong Kong Disneyland the latest and newest park though it's the smallest and has less rides than all the other parks
Yes there is. It is just outside Paris and the easiest way to get there from the centre of Paris is by train. EuroDisney has it's own train station and park tickets can be brought at any train station. There is also a park ticket/rail ticket combination which will discount your travel costs.
All the Disney parks have somewhat different attractions and atmosphere, and none is definitively the best or worst. Walt Disney World in Florida is by far the biggest and has warmer sunnier weather year-round though.
I think, though, you would be hard pressed to find anyone who seriously thinks the Paris park is better than any of the others, unless it's purely a matter of nationalism or "It's cheaper/easier for me to get there than to the others." In fact, the prevailing opinion is likely to be the exact opposite.
Not really. Disney World is located in Florida and Disneyland is in Anaheim, California. Disneyland was opened to the public back in 1955 and Disney World was opened in 1971. Disney World is like 4-5 times bigger than Disneyland, but they each have a few rides that the other one doesn't and the layouts of all the rides they both have are different
Yes! Of course it does. Otherwise there wouldn't be a place called "Disneyland Paris!".
no Disney world is in Florida and Disney land is in Paris
The fact they have different names would immediately indicate they are different places. Disneyland's in California [the original one] & Disney World's in Florida.
Yes, it is.
You cannot, Euro Disney no longer exists. Disneyland Paris replaced it. It is actually the same physically but under new management (the Disney resorts abroad are not managed by Disney Corp.)
no they only work at Disneyland you have to buy ones for Disney world 2 go there
Epcot is owned by the Disney Corporation. Whoever is the CEO of Disney, is the CEO of Epcot. At the present time, the CEO of Disney is Bob Eiger.
Love in an elevator. Great song, great ride.
well i haven't been to Disneyland but what i know from Disney world that Disney world is probably better but you should at least give Disney land a chance because most of Disney theme parks and resort are rooted in Disney land so do more on line studying and see what you come up with
Yes

There is a Disney land in Paris, France called: EuroDisney or Disney Land Paris, which is pretty much the same as all other Disney Land resorts. It's basically a themepark that has loads of different rides and attractions, based on disney TV shows and films. There are also plenty of products to choose from and take home with you!

More.

isn't it the same thing? On Disney channel they say its Disney World though.
Yes. Disney's California Adventure is just across the way from Disneyland. There is a plaza between the two, but standing in line for one you can clearly see the other. However, a ticket for Disneyland won't get you into Disney's California Adventure on the same day without a ParkHopper option.

New Orleans Square, same with Disneyland
No, the Paris Metro does not extend as far as the Disneyland resort, but... - there is a shuttle bus from both Paris airports throughout the day to Disneyland, €16 for adults, €13 for children. The timetable and operating hours are available on the Disneyland Paris website. - alternatively, you could catch the RER train link to Paris, and then switch for the RER line A train direct to the resort (Marne-la-Vallée - Chessy). In Paris these RER lines run on the same way than the metro system, but faster with fewer stations.
