Disneyland Paris opened its second gate, Walt Disney Studios Park, on March 16, 2002. It remains Disney's least-visited theme park worldwide, though it ranks as the third-most visited park in Europe, trailing its older sibling as well as Europa-Park.
Disney Parks is the middle of a major reconstruction project for Walt Disney Studios Park which brought a Marvel-themed Avengers Campus in 2022 and soon will add a World of Frozen land. When that opens in 2026, the park will be renamed Disney Adventure World.

Other restaurants include PYM Kitchen and Stark Factory in Avengers Campus.
Disneyland Paris is located 20 miles east of Paris and served by the Marne-la-Vallée/Chessy train station. You can access the resort via RER from Paris or a quick, direct TGV ride from the Charles De Gaulle Airport.
Despite being Disney's least-attended park, Walt Disney Studios Park might have the worst average wait times of any Disney park. (Or, maybe that explains why this park is last in the Disney chain.) Crush's Coaster, where even an available single-rider queue provides little wait-time relief, is especially tough - if you do not have Extra Magic Time early park access via staying at an on-site hotel, do not bother with that roller coaster until the wait times start to go down late in the day. If you must ride Crush's Coaster earlier, buying Premier Access is a must, unless you want to blow more than an hour or two in line.
Buy your tickets in advance, and consider the Premier Access upgrade if your time in the park is limited. Premier Access includes:
If you have neither Extra Magic Time now Premier Access, but you have been on Ratatouille at Walt Disney World and Spider-Man at Disney California Adventure, skip those here as they are the same as in the U.S. parks. If you are a California Adventure fan, start with Tower of Terror here for the nostalgia.
If you do have Extra Magic Time, move quickly to do Crush's Coaster first, followed by RC Racer and the Toy Soldiers Parachute Drop, or Ratatouille if those rides do not interest you. As soon as the park opens to regular guests, head over to Spider-Man.
The shows might be the highlights in this park. Prioritize seeing Mickey and the Magician, then the Pixar show. Or just head over to Disneyland Paris and wait until 2026 to see this park once Disney has it fixed.
