Since opening in 1992, the anchor attraction of Disney Village at Disneyland Resort Paris has been Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show, a dining and entertainment spectacular inspired by the real exposition William F. "Buffalo Bill" Cody toured through Europe from 1889-1906.

As we conclude our visit to Discoveryland, let's go back to the visionary who started it all, Jules Verne. Among his greatest works is "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea," which inspired one of the greatest Disney adventure films, along with several Disney Parks attractions. In fact, an early Tomorrowland attraction at Disneyland was a walk-through exhibit of sets and props from the making of the 1954 movie.

Not all the futuristic elements of Discoveryland come from the science fiction of the past. In the case of Buzz Lightyear Laser Blast (the name is different in Paris, allowing for easier translations), the inspiration is fairly contemporary.

Discoveryland at Disneyland Paris draws inspiration from the futuristic predictions of several visionaries of the past, but none more so than Frenchman Jules Verne. Standing majestically at the center of the land is Space Mountain, based on Verne's 1865 novel, "From the Earth to the Moon."

Walt's is themed in a classic Victorian Main Street USA style with references to Walt’s life. Check out this Disneyland Paris restaurant!
