Adventureland Bazaar


Adventureland Bazaar is the main entrance to Adventureland in Disneyland Paris, themed to the One Thousand and One Arabian Nights.

Concept

When designing Adventureland for Disneyland Paris, Imagineers intended to keep the original idea of blending exotic environments from Africa, Asia and the Caribbean. Yet, since the One Thousand and One Arabian Nights are part of the European vision of exotism, they decided to add a middle-eastern pavilion at the entrance of the land. Named Adventureland Bazaar, this small recreation of an oriental city also acts as a shopping and eating place.

Adventureland Bazaar

In 1992, at the opening of the land, the building featured a covered maze-like street network and many shops:
In 1993, one year after the release of the Disney movie Aladdin, a walkthrough attraction opened in the Bazaar, named Le Passage Enchanté d'Aladdin.

Agrabah Café

In 1999, most of the building was turned into Agrabah Café, with the exception of Les Trésors de Schéhérazade and La Girafe Curieuse. All shops and streets were merged to make one whole restaurant, although the details of the place are left unchanged. As such, this place now offers a table service for guests. The restaurant specializes in a wide range of mediterranean meals.

Details of the Bazaar

The Bazaar features many references to tales from Arabian Nights:
Originally, the building featured a proper oriental soundtrack. Since the Disney film Aladdin was released in 1992, this soundtrack was soon replaced with the movie's one. However, the original soundtrack was brought back shortly after the park's 15th anniversary.
