Disneyland Paris

Disneyland Paris

Disneyland Paris is an entertainment resort with two amusement parks: Disneyland and Walt Disney Studios. It also includes several hotels and restaurants.

Opened in Paris on April 12, 1992 under the name EuroDisney, it was renamed Disneyland Paris in 1995 due to strategic changes.

It currently receives more than 15 million visitors annually and is one of Paris's main tourist attractions, often being the main reason for travelling to the city.

Theme Parks

How to Get to Disneyland Paris

If you don’t want to rent a car, here are some of the best ways to get to Disneyland Paris.

  • Day Trip to Disneyland Paris: The ideal option to avoid complications, the day trip to Disneyland from Paris includes return transportation to the parks from Paris as well as entrance fees.
  • RER: The red RER A line (Marne-la-Vallée - Chessy) connects central Paris with Disneyland (Marne la Vallée), line A (red). The park is located in fare zone 5, and the journey takes 35-40 minutes.
  • TGV: If you want to get to Disneyland Paris from Charles de Gaulle Airport, it will only take you 10 minutes by high-speed train.
  • Magical Shuttle Bus: If you want to get to the parks and their hotels directly from Paris or any of the airports, this company has direct coaches.
  • Taxi or transfer services: This is the most convenient option, but also the most expensive. When you book a transfer service, the driver will wait for you in the airport arrivals hall or at your hotel. If you would like to book a transfer, you can do so via the website at this link.

Where to Stay at Disneyland Paris

For families who want to spend several days exploring the parks, we recommend staying at one of the seven Disneyland Paris hotels (some are closer to the parks than others). There are also hotels run by other companies within walking distance of the park.

Visit One or Both Theme Parks?

There are tickets valid for one or for both parks. If this is your first visit and you only want to visit one park, it should be Disneyland.

If it's a day with little traffic, you do not have children and you want to take advantage of the time, it is possible to visit both parks in one day and visit almost all the attractions. In this case, you should plan carefully.

Disneyland Paris Fastpass

If you want to visit the parks without having to queue to go on the rides (formerly Fast Pass), there are currently two different options:

  • Premier Access ONE: With the park's official app, you have the option to pay to skip the queues for the attraction of your choice. Prices vary depending on the queue at the time (from 5 (US$ 5.78) per person).
    Priority access can only be used once on the chosen attraction, but it can sometimes be useful to avoid spending more than two hours waiting in line for attractions such as Crush's Coaster.
  • Premier Access Ultimate: If you don't have budget constraints and want to visit both parks in one day and ride all the attractions, you can purchase a VIP pass that will allow you to skip the queues once on each of the included attractions (not all of them).
    When deciding whether it's worth purchasing skip-the-line access, it's important to consider whether you will be visiting during peak season and how many days you plan to spend at the parks.

Free Trick to Avoid Queues at Disneyland Paris

The Single Rider system offers a free "trick" that will save you hours of queuing if you don't mind riding the attractions alone.

To use it, simply join the Single Rider queue and you'll be placed in any available space with other groups to make use of all the seats in the carriages.

Depending on the ride, you can save over an hour of waiting time, as is often the case with Crush's Coaster or Toy Soldiers Parachute Drop.
