“The park that opened in 1992 at the end of the RER A. Twenty miles east of central Paris, past Vincennes and the eastern suburbs, the towers of Le Château de la Belle au Bois Dormant come into view through the windows.

Disneyland Park, on ceramic.

Each tile is finished by hand in our Knoxville studio. Artwork is slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, and rests beneath a thin glossy finish. The colour lives in the surface, not on top of it.

The place, in three passes.

A little of what's known, in case you fall down the rabbit hole — or want to go see it yourself.
— the place

Disneyland Park is the original of the two theme parks at Disneyland Paris, in Chessy, Seine-et-Marne, about 32 kilometres east of central Paris. It opened on 12 April 1992 as Euro Disney Resort. The park is reached in roughly forty minutes on the RER A from Châtelet–Les Halles to the Marne-la-Vallée–Chessy station, which sits at the park gates. Five themed lands radiate from a central hub anchored by Le Château de la Belle au Bois Dormant, the tallest of any Disneyland castle.

— the visit

The park runs year-round, with opening hours that lengthen in summer and around the Christmas season. Tickets are dated and tiered by demand; the Disneyland Paris app holds the live wait times and the Premier Access lanes. The RER A runs from central Paris every few minutes; TGV and Eurostar services stop at Marne-la-Vallée–Chessy, which is a short walk from the entrance. The pink castle is the orientation point: most visitors meet there if they get separated, under the dragon in the cellar below.

— the year

The park keeps a calendar. Spring brings the long French school holidays and the first warm evenings of the parade. Summer holds the late-light shows over the castle until close to eleven. Autumn dresses Main Street, U.S.A. in orange and black for the Halloween season, usually from early October through early November. Christmas runs from mid-November to early January, with snow on Main Street twice an hour and the tree lit beside City Hall. The 30th anniversary, in 2022, set the current visual identity of the night show.

— common questions

What people ask.

A few questions we get about Disneyland Park — and about bringing the piece home.
— about the place

Disneyland Park opened on 12 April 1992, originally as Euro Disney Resort. It was the first Disney park built in Europe and remains the older of the two parks at Disneyland Paris in Marne-la-Vallée.

The RER A line runs from Châtelet–Les Halles to Marne-la-Vallée–Chessy in about forty minutes. The station sits at the park gates. TGV and Eurostar trains also stop there.

Le Château de la Belle au Bois Dormant — Sleeping Beauty Castle. It is the tallest of any Disneyland castle and the only one with a live dragon, La Tanière du Dragon, in the cellar beneath.

French and English are both used on signs, menus, and in attractions. Cast members across the resort are trained to switch between the two, and many speak a third European language as well.

Five lands radiate from a central hub: Main Street, U.S.A.; Frontierland; Adventureland; Fantasyland; and Discoveryland. The castle anchors Fantasyland and serves as the park's visual centre.

September and early October hold short waits before the Halloween season starts. Late January and early February run cold but quiet. Avoid French school holidays and the week between Christmas and New Year for the longest lines.

— about the piece in your home

It often is, especially for visitors who went as children and have taken their own children since. The pink castle is the memory most carry home. A Small or Medium with a handwritten note from the studio carries well.

The colour palette — rose, gold, deep blue — sits inside Romantic, Maximalist, and traditional French interiors. It also lifts a child's room or a family playroom without reading juvenile to the rest of the house.

Yes. The stained-glass treatment of the castle reads as ornament rather than merchandise, which is what whimsical-maximalist rooms ask of their wall art. It holds a wall beside botanical prints or vintage opera posters.

Above a sofa, a single Large reads at the right scale; above a wider console or in a stairwell, a 4-tile Mural carries the eye. A 9-tile Mural is for full feature walls and double-height rooms.

Yes. Order the Dura Satin or Matte finish for any wall that sees steam or splash. Both are scratch-resistant and clean with a damp microfibre cloth.

A soft microfibre cloth and plain water. Avoid abrasive sponges and ammonia-based cleaners; the colour lives in the ceramic surface, so the tile cleans like fine porcelain.

Yes. Reid Wender curates and the studio paints every piece in our stained-glass and alcohol-ink visual language. We do not licence the artwork in or out.
