Every visitor to Disneyland Park can count on an overwhelming entrance. Once through the ticket check, you walk straight onto Main Street U.S.A. This shopping street is home to various shops and restaurants, each with its own theme.

Behind this street runs the Discovery Arcade, an atmospheric covered passage. Ideal for a lovely photo, even when the weather isn't playing along.

Pirates of the Caribbean

In this themed area you're immersed in a world of pirates and adventure. There are plenty of photo opportunities around the attraction. Visit Captain Hook's ship, for example, or take a photo at Captain Jack’s – Restaurant des Pirates, where you quite literally dine at the edge of the attraction. A place where you'll feel like a real pirate for a while!
