Avengers Campus at Disneyland Paris

If you're a fan of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, you will definitely enjoy making your way around this area of Walt Disney Studios Park, and even if you're not, this is a great addition to your day at Disneyland Paris.

ATTRACTIONS

There are two attractions in Avengers Campus, both of which are available with Disney Premier Access (which is Disneyland Paris' fast pass) and both have single rider lines, although this may not always be available.

First up, we have Spider-Man W.E.B. Adventure, a fun family adventure with no height requirement, where you will meet Peter Parker who has had a bit of an... incident with his Spider-Bots and needs your help to round them up! This is a lot of fun, especially for Spidey fans, because you actually get to *thwip* webs!! But I will say it is quite tiring on the arms for those of us not used to webslinging!! My arms were aching after! SO much fun though! You have your own score and then you also have a team score.

And secondly, there is Avengers Assemble: Flight Force. You will team up with Iron Man and Captain Marvel on this roller coaster to save the world from an intergalactic threat! This ride goes upside down and twists and turns and is a great for thrill seekers. It has PhotoPass available too. The height requirement for this ride is 1.20m.

CHARACTER ENCOUNTERS

Unlike in other areas of Disneyland Paris, the character encounters here are, with few exceptions, quite different. You can line up to say hello to Ant Man or the Wasp at the meet & greet area near the entrance to the Quantum Realm (careful!). Other than that you are more likely to run into Thor and Loki just wandering through the campus having a brotherly "discussion" or you can have a dance off with Star Lord and Gamora from the Guardians of the Galaxy.

Spidey, Black Panther and Black Widow might be engaged in a rooftop battle, before Spider-Man comes out to show off some more of his aerobatics and pose for pics for you. The Dora Milaje (the female Wakandan Warriors) come out and show a warrior battle dance and you can get involved too! There are regular ride-bys on top of the Avengers Deployment Vehicle with one Avenger or another and many of them will come out and patrol in front of the Quinjet for you to grab photos and say hello.

For an actual up close and personal meet and greet with any of them, head to the Disneyland Paris app as soon as you enter the park and grab a slot. You will be placed into a queue. When it's your turn, you head to the Hero Training Centre to meet your character. You can choose from either Spider-Man or the Captain Marvel/other avenger. You will get a good 5 minutes with your hero as they teach you some moves, and then take some pictures for you. A cast member is on hand if you want some photos on your mobile and the other ones will be available on PhotoPass.

I didn't choose an encounter on my passholder day, but I did go back with my best friend on another day, and we had an encounter with Captain America which was great! He taught us some exercises to keep a hero in tip top shape and some fighting poses!!

Other characters appear occasionally too! Some that have been spotted include Hulk, Wakanda Forever's Black Panther and Groot!

DINING

There are three main eateries in Avengers Campus, one sit down that I highly recommend booking, and one quick service, plus a couple of food trucks too. PYM Kitchen, is a buffet restaurant with whimsical giant and tiny foods that of course have been affected by PYM particles!! Your drinks come in science beakers and the condiments are in test tubes! It's a really well themed restaurant, right down to the art on the walls, and well worth a visit. I've included a picture of the giant burger - I watched them cook this giant patty and it took them two chefs to flip it on the grill, plus 16 slices of cheese!!

PYM Kitchen needs a reservation and this can be made in the Disneyland Paris app. Next up is Stark Factory, which is the main quick service dining. It is Italian style so it serves pizzas, pastas and salads, as well as select desserts. As you enter you will be greeted by a life-size Hulkbuster and if you walk to the right as you have your food you can sit at Peggy Carter's office with lots of Agent Carter memorabilia.

If you fancy a traditional New York style sandwich like a Reuben, head to the Super Diner. This is not a huge venue, and the menu is not immense, but you can grab a sandwich here. Disneyland Paris Dining plans are accepted at all three of these venues.

For some cold Asian noodles the WEB food truck has you covered. You can get these plain, with chicken or smoked Tofu. And finally there's the FAN-tastic Food Truck which is worth a visit just to have a look at all the cool stickers that are slapped all over the truck! Here you can get yourself a hotdog. The Incredible Hot-Dog is absolutely delicious!!!

SHOPPING

If you want to grab a souvenir from Avengers Campus, from a pin, to a t-shirt to your very own Spider-Bot, there is a little booth near the main entrance of Avengers Campus, or make your way to Mission Equipment to find everything you need! This is the only shop here and W.E.B. Adventure kicks out into this shop too so it can get crowded.

Overall, Avengers Campus won't take you all day to get around, but I definitely recommend heading there first thing if you are spending your day in Walt Disney Studios. It's worth taking advantage of the early hours of park opening to get the shorter queues.

Do your arm strengthening exercises ready for web slinging and, if you are someone who loves a bit of Disneybounding, the characters here will love that!

And as an extra MARVEL-lous tip, if you're not already staying there, I highly recommend heading the Hotel New York - The Art of Marvel for a meal, a drink in the Skyline bar or just to have a look around. With the amount of art they have there, it's actually classed as a gallery so there is fantastic art to see on every floor!

Enjoy your visit to Disneyland Paris Avengers' Campus!
