Disney Studio 1, Theme park entrance building in Walt Disney Studios Park, France
Disney Studio 1 is a theme park entrance building in Walt Disney Studios Park that spans a covered Hollywood-style street with 14 different storefronts displaying architectural elements from California's entertainment industry between 1920 and 1940. This passageway connects entry areas and leads visitors into further zones of the park, with restaurants and shops positioned along both sides.
The building opened its doors on March 16, 2002, as the main entrance structure of Walt Disney Studios Park, the second theme park at Disneyland Paris. Its architecture draws from styles of California's most successful entertainment period and created a time capsule of the early 20th century.
The place honors Hollywood's golden age through recreated storefronts like Schwab's Pharmacy and the Brown Derby Restaurant that visitors encounter firsthand. These replicas make the energy and style of the American entertainment industry from the 1920s through 1940s tangible as you walk through.
This location serves as the main passageway to other park areas and is always easy to reach on foot from entry zones. It is wise to walk through in early morning or late afternoon to avoid crowds and explore shops and restaurants at a more relaxed pace.
One facade is designed as an enlarged vintage Argus camera and mirrors the original 1938 Los Angeles photography shop. This surprising detail merges architecture with object art and creates an unforgettable photo spot for visitors.
