Paris police have arrived at Disneyland Paris and the site has been evacuated, after the nearby Marne la Vallée-Chessy train station was cordoned off.
Armed officers with 'assault rifles' were reported by witnesses to be investigating after a 'suspect package' was found, the Mirror said.
France is currently in a state of emergency following deadly attacks by jihadist militants in Paris, in November last year.
Subsequent attacks in Nice and Normandy have also led to a major terror crackdown.
Tom Wiseman, who was in the park at the time of the alert, said the evacuation had been sparked by a 'potential terror threat'.

One visitor said his bus was redirected by soldiers while leaving the attraction. He wrote on Twitter: "I just left Disneyland Paris on a very crowded bus after being redirected by soldiers (w/assault rifles) away from the bus station."
Another Twitter user said the railway station had been cordoned off. They said: "It seems to be the train station. All taped off and police everywhere. Stay safe. We are in village."
Disneyland Paris attracts thousands of British tourists every year.
Earlier this year French police arrested a man carrying two guns at an entrance to a hotel at Disneyland Paris in January. The 28-year-old was carrying a copy of the Koran and a box of ammunition.
Two weeks ago traffic was interrupted at the station over a suspicious package.
