Disney Studio 1 is the largest building and attraction located in the Walt Disney Studios Park in Disneyland Paris.[1] Guests entering the park must walk through the building to have access to the remainder of the park. The interior is a reconstruction of a street in Hollywood.

The right side of the building features eight facades based on various Hollywood buildings, both real and fictional, from the 1920s to 1940s: Schwab's Pharmacy, Celebrity Five and Dime, The Darkroom/Cover Story, The Brown Derby, Club Swankedero, The Gunga Den, The Hep Cat Club, and The Liki Tiki. Behind these facades lies the Restaurant en Coulisse, a fast-food restaurant.[2]

The left side features six facades of fictional retail buildings, including: The Darkroom/Shutterbugs, Glamour Girl Cosmetics, The Alexandria Theater, Hollywood and Vine Five & Dime, The Gossip Column, and Last Chance Gas. The Legends of Hollywood boutique-store can be found behind them.[2]

On July 5, 2003, the Shutterbugs building facade was turned into an actual working photo studio.[3]

On April 12, 2024, Disneyland Paris announced that Disney Studio 1 would be renamed to World Premiere, once reopened after an extensive refurbishment in April 2025. [4]
