Disney Village
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Disney Village is a shopping, dining and entertainment complex in Disneyland Resort Paris, Marne-la-Vallée, France. Originally named Festival Disney, it opened April 12, 1992 with what was then called the Euro Disney Resort and originally covered an area of approximately 18,000 m².
Based on Walt Disney World's Downtown Disney district, it was designed by architect Frank Gehry with towers of oxidised silver and bronze-coloured stainless steel under a canopy of lights.[1] It is adjacent to the two theme parks of Disneyland Resort Paris and its Lake Disney hotel area.

- PanoraMagique Balloon
- Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show. Buffalo Bill's original show has been re-enacted twice nightly in a purpose-built arena since 1992. Although 1990s technology has enabled more dynamic production elements than the 1890s, the show retains a high degree of authenticity, including real Native American Indians, Rodeo Cowboys, bison, longhorn cattle, and quarter horses imported from North America. Most of the more famous elements of the original show also remain, including the Pony Express, Indian Attack, and Stagecoach Robbery. A Dinner Show, entry includes a themed menu including chili and BBQ ribs. A cowboy hat is also included. The show is approaching world-record attendance with over 10,000 shows performed in front of nearly 10 million guests.

A number of the Gehry-designed metallic pillar structures which lined the area's main thoroughfare were removed in 2005 along with the light canopy suspended amongst them. In December 2004, a multi-story parking structure opened, followed by the opening of an IMAX cinema as part of the Gaumont multiplex cinema.
