EVENING ENTERTAINMENT

Disneyland® Paris offers event organisers a range of themed evenings and gala dinners which can be held in Disneyland® Park or Walt Disney Studios® Park, in Disney® Village or in the Disney® Hotels. After the Theme Parks are closed to the public they can be fully or partly hired for private events, for 4 groups of 50 or more – giving guests unlimited access to selected attractions, restaurants and entertainments. Because two Theme Parks are very different – Disneyland® Park has five themed “lands”, while Walt Disney Studios® Park takes a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at the world of cinema, animation and TV – the range of possibilities for themed evenings is unlimited.

Examples of themed evenings

The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror*

On this unforgettable evening a rather eerie lift attendant welcomes your guests and leads them to the elevator of an abandoned historic luxury hotel … then, from the heights of the 13th floor, they are plunged into the void and total darkness at breakneck speed. To recover from these thrilling sensations, guests gather afterwards for dinner, set in a typically 30s ambience and accompanied by “supernatural” entertainers. Are you brave enough to take the plunge?

Walt Disney Studios® Park/ 150 to 1,400 guests

* Inspired by The Twilight Zone®, a brand owned by CBS, Inc.

The Stars of Cinema

Your guests experience life behind the scenes of the Big Screen in this evening dedicated to cinema. Greeted by a pack of paparazzi, they walk down the red carpet and enter the extraordinary world of CinéMagique, a unique experience which literally transports them inside the world of film. The evening continues at the heart of a film set conjuring up the Golden Age of Hollywood. It’s a star-studded setting ideal for a gala dinner – just like being at the Oscars®. Now it’s their turn to be in the limelight!

Walt Disney Studios® Park/ 150 to 1,070 guests

Examples of team-building activities

Treasure Hunt

Equipped with a trail guide and journeying across the whole of the Theme Park, exploring all its hidden corners, delegates will have to solve three intriguing puzzles.
