On our last full day in Paris, we headed back out to the Disneyland resort to visit the Walt Disney Studios Park. While we got there before the 10 am opening, we were disappointed to find the park was opened an hour early for resort guests.
Our plan to grab fastpasses for the new Ratatouille ride then ride the Crush Coaster didn't work as well as we hoped, as there was already over an hour wait for Crush and a significant line for Ratatouille fast passes. After riding those two, we were hoping to watch a few of the shows unique to the park and then eat at the new Ratatouille restaurant but we decided instead to head back to the Disneyland park for lunch and to do some of the attractions there that close at dusk.
We did walk around the whole park and watch the Stitch Live show before heading out. The Paris Studio park has an interesting "Main Street". It is a large studio building with a "Hollywood Blvd" inside. One side of the street is shops, and the other is a food court.
From there you enter a plaza resembling old Hollywood. The Tower of Terror is on the left and the Animation Building is on the right. Past Tower of Terror is the Backlot area, which has a couple shows, Rock n Rollercoaster, and a Tram Tour. Past the Animation Building is Crush Coaster, the Magic Carpet Ride, and Ratatouille. There’s also a Toy Story land with several flat rides.
We ate at the Pizza Planet in Discoveryland, which wasn't very nicely themed and didn't have great food, but was all you could eat f or a not too unreasonable price. After eating we checked out the Christmas parade, then went to Fantasyland and did the storybook canal boats and the Alice maze, which had a good view from atop its castle. Besides a carousel, tea cups, Dumbo, and Small World, Fantasyland has Peter Pan, Pinocchio, and Snow White dark rides, a circus train, and a dragon under the castle.
After Fantasyland we rode the train around the park. That night, we did some of the main attractions again, then watched the castle projection/fireworks show.
