Disneyland Resort Paris is an amusement park located in Marne-la-Vallée, about 30 km east of Paris. This famous park is made up of two Disney theme parks: Disneyland Park (normally called EuroDisney or Disneyland Paris) and Walt Disney Studios.

The amusement park is the largest of Disney’s parks, and is the most visited theme park in Europe. The park is divided into five thematic areas: Main Street USA, which is the part of the park inspired by the hometown of Walt Disney, Marceline, Missouri, and therefore represents a typical American city at the turn of the ‘800 and’ 900. Fantasyland, a section of the park inspired by a typical Swiss mountain village, and home to many attractions dedicated to Disney’s first feature films, such as Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and Peter Pan. Adventureland which hosts attractions dedicated to the jungle, the pirate stories, to Arabia of the film Aladdin. Discoveryland dedicated to science fiction and Frontierland dedicated to the old west.
