History of Walt Disney Studios Park
Following the commercial success of Disneyland Park, Disneyland Resort Paris decided to open a second gate next to the first one in 2002. But as the park shrank in size and ambition, it ultimately didn't attract as many visitors as Disney hoped it would. That's led to several expansions, including 2010's new Toy Story Playland kiddie land.

When is the best time to visit?
During the week, considering lines are pretty short. On weekends the Studios are packed, especially the newest rides.

How do I get tickets to Walt Disney Studios Park?
Buy your tickets in advance, online.

What's new at Walt Disney Studios Park?
Toy Story Playland opens in Summer 2010, with three new rides, designed for younger children. There are rumors of Toy Story Midway Mania coming to this land, though no formal announcement yet.

Plan your day at Walt Disney Studios Park
Get the showtimes at the entrance or at the information board in the center of the park.

Arrange your day around CINEMAGIQUE, ANIMAGIQUE and MOTEURS ACTION STUNT SHOW. 15min prior to showtimes you enter without waiting. Everyday!

Do CRUSH'S COASTER or CARS at park opening or late afternoon.
ROCK'N'ROLLER COASTER and TOWER OF TERROR have Fastpass. Use it if you have more than 20min Standby Queue.
