Chapter 1: General Tips
Disneyland Paris is big.
There are a lot of things there, so they needed space to put them in!
So far, I’m not telling you anything you didn’t already know. But I’ve found that it is one thing to know that these are big places, and quite another thing to realize just how much walking you are going to do to get anywhere. So much walking. And standing. And then more walking.
There are some choices you can make to limit the amount of walking in a day, such as staying in one of the Parks or even in one of the areas (such as Fantasyland), which can be especially helpful if you have any mobility challenges. The downside to this is that your chosen location may be uncommonly busy while you are there.
I’m going to put pictures of two important locations in the Parks here, seeing as we’ve already talked about them quite a bit: City Hall and Studio Services.
City Hall
Pictured: An actual picture of City Hall.
That picture above? That’s City Hall. Well, at least a map of where it is.
City Hall is located in the Disney Park, not long after you enter through the main gates. After you enter through the gates where you need to show your ticket, there will be a courtyard in front of you. This is nice, but not where City Hall is. City Hall is in the NEXT courtyard, once you go through one of a series of archways that separates the entrance courtyard you are in from the City Hall one. Then, City Hall is located to your left. There may be a line to wait in before you can speak to someone inside, but there will be Cast Members located outside that you can ask questions.
Studio Services
Studio Services is located in the Studios Park, in the courtyard that you enter into from the ticket gates. Studio Services will be located on your right-hand side, and there will be Cast Members located outside that you can ask questions.
