Disney’s Hotel New York®, Disney’s Newport Bay Club®, Disneyland® Hotel and Disney’s Sequoia Lodge® are particularly well-suited to the needs of corporate guests, offering a range of made-to-measure services including separate registration for convention delegates, a business centre, concierge, a welcome desk, etc.

These hotels also offer a wide range of sporting activities, allowing delegates to combine work and leisure: tennis courts, a 27-hole golf course, ice skating (in winter only), outdoor/indoor swimming pools, fitness centres, and a spa in Disneyland® Hotel.

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 13^th 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

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.
