The Art of Disneyland Paris

by Jérémie Noyer

At Disneyland Paris, art makes magic, and magic is an art!

From adventures in the theme parks to the experience of a Disney hotel, the designs have been created not only by architects or engineers, but also by artists - painters, illustrators, storyboarders, graphic designers, decorators, and model makers.

Discover how Europe’s leading tourist destination was created and has evolved in The Art of Disneyland Paris, a collection of more than 300 photos, concepts and preparatory drawings made by Imagineers over its 30-year history. From the initial sketches to future major expansion projects, this unique book is both a souvenir album and the portfolio of a group of passionate artists.

À Disneyland Paris, la magie est un art, et l’art au service de la magie.

Des parcs à thème aux hôtels Disney en passant par les spectacles, le concepteurs de toutes ces expériences ne sont pas seulement des architectes ou des ingénieurs, mais également des artistes - peintres, illustrateurs, storyboarders, graphistes, décorateurs, ou encore maquettistes.

Avec The Art of Disneyland Paris, plongez au cœur de la création et d l’évolution de la première destination touristique d’Europe à travers plus de 300 photos, concepts et dessins préparatoires réalisés par les Imagineers au cours de ses 30 ans d’histoire. Des premières ébauches aux grands projets d’expansion à venir, découvrez un livre d’art pas comme les autres, à la fois album souvenir et portfolio d’artistes passionnés

I am so happy to finally have a book about disneyland paris! And i was so glad it included not only the attractions and main lands but also the parades and costumes

[David Cowpar]

Such an amazing and detailed look into the Art of Disneyland Paris. From parks and lands and attractions to Disney Village and the hotels and even down as far as costumes and floats for the parades and storyboards for stage shows. This is an amazing book, full of wonderful behind the scenes photos and facts that bring some of the wonderful team of hidden Imagineers and cast members into the spotlight for the first time. A must have for Disney Parks fans.

i read it while brushing my teeth every day :)

and it was amazing to get to know more about the park, although i would love to see more progress pictures from the actual making and not just designs

either way it was great 🐭🪄🇫🇷

Loved this book. The behind the scenes pictures, the original sketches and some explanation about the decisions that were made. The only downside was it is a too short of a read. Made me very excited about the future expansions of the park.

A BTS in the designing and creating of Disneyland Paris. Cannot wait to see what is in store next, looking at Disneyland 2040

J'ai bien aimé ! Beaucoup d'images d'archives et de concept art ! Même si j'aurai adoré avoir plus de détail sur la création, plutôt que de simples concept art commentés.

A pretty collection of landscape concept art, but the rides get short thrift, low-hanging fruit like attraction posters are glossed over, and the captions all too often sound like a tourism brochure - and unbearably so once you get to the hotels section.

This books goes behind the magic of the park itself. It gives you info on everything from the different parts of the park, to the hotels, parades and more. Having visited the park and the hotels on more than one occasion I found this interesting and informative to read.

In addition the the text, it’s also a lot of pictures of original sketches that was used in making of the park, it’s fun to see it from start to finish.
