Paris' Walt Disney Studios Park - Part 1
Page 2 of 5

The Walt Disney Studios Store flanks the courtyard to the left as guests enter the park. This is the park’s Emporium and features a mix of WDSP, Disneyland park and Resort merchandise. I intend to cover the merchandise in the fifth installment of my tour of the park. The main entrance features a beautiful iron framed logo enhanced by several stained glass panels. The store windows already feature Mike and Sulley from Monsters, Inc. that does not debut in France until March 20. Inside, the store is simple but elegant, featuring stunning portraits of the Brothers Disney, the first Disney Brothers Studio buildings and several shots of the entire animation crews in front of the building. The photos are huge and the images chosen are beautiful and a joy to revisit, especially for animation buffs who will enjoy seeing pictures of the Nine Old Men as youngsters at the Studios!

On the right of the courtyard are two smaller buildings, the first housing the Guest Relations team and the second being the Kodak store for the park. The Studio Photo store’s entrance is housed in a clocktower set at 45 degrees to the rest of the building.
