Front Lot is a formerly themed land or studio lot at Walt Disney Studios Park in Disneyland Paris, based on the glamorous administration areas of Hollywood movie studios from the "golden age" of movies in the 1930s. It serves as the main entrance area of the park, similar to Main Street USA, with park services and several boutiques. Earffel Tower, the park's icon, is located in this area.
Its focal point, Disney Studio 1, is based on the first soundstage ever owned by Walt Disney himself, at the original Disney Bros. Studios on Hyperion Avenue, Burbank, California. The central square is named Place des Frères Lumière, featuring a bronze-effect fountain - the Fantasia Fountain - at its heart.[1]
On April 12, 2025, following the announcement, it was reported that World Premiere and World Premiere Plaza will open on May 15, 2025, since Front Lot area was permanently closed on April 24, 2024 to make way for a new land, World Premiere as a new entrance area.[2]
