Disneyland Paris Guide

Disneyland Paris has 2 theme parks and a golf course. I love both parks very much that I’ve visited it many times! Here’s my Disneyland Paris Guide!

Before you go: 

Ticket

Always book your tickets in advance! It’s the best deal you can get! It’s also better to take a ticket for 2 parks instead of 2 tickets separately. 

Ticket Fact: The BeNeLux (Belgium, Netherlands, and Luxembourg) can sometimes benefit from reductions. We went to Disneyland already 3 times due to a Disney Campaign at Carrefour: collect stickers while shopping and when you have a full sticker book, you can get a free ticket.   

Price Tickets: €60-€80

Free: 0-3 years old

Transportation? 

You can go by car or by train! We always come by car to have some freedom and flexibility to come and go whenever we like to. If you’re sleeping at a nearby hotel, you can park your car there and take a bus to the park. 

Parking: €20

Hotel

We used to go to Disneyland Paris for 1 day, meaning car ride in the morning and evening. Quite exhausting! Nowadays we book a hotel to stay at least 1 or 2 nights. We avoid traffic like that and we’re starting the day less tired. Nowadays we’re also going 2 days to Disneyland to give each park a day to be discovered!. 

Hotel Fact: My family and I used to go to the Ibis budget hotel in Marne-la-Vallée. It’s a basic hotel but what more do you need? (but I would still very like to go to a Disney Hotel one day!)

Hotel Fact: I’ve never slept in a Disney hotel but it’s a big wish of mine! It also gives you some advantages: you can enter the park earlier, free parking, ticket for both parks included, and some Disney Magic! 

Walt Disney Studios Park

Walt Disney Studios is closing earlier than the Magic Kingdom, start with this park first if you want to do both parks in 1 day. 

Must do attractions? Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, Crush’s Coaster, RC Racer, Ratatouille: The Adventure, Studio Tram Tour & Toy Soldiers Parachute Drop. 

Sad Fact: My favorite Rock ‘n Roller Coaster is gone now

Fun Fact: You can use the single riders method in Ratatouille! Way faster than the usual waiting line. 

Disneyland Park

Disneyland Park is the must do when going to Disneyland! My advice? Start by doing the big attractions first because the queues grow bigger during the day. 

Must do attractions? Star Wars Hyperspace Mountain, StarsTours: The Adventures Continue, Pirates of the Caribbean, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Peril, Buzz Lightyear Laser Blast, & Big Thunder Mountain.

Fun Fact: Use the “Fast Pass” system. Not all attractions provide this method but most of them do. You scan your ticket and you get a fast pass ticket for a specific hour. But beware! You can only own 1 at a time so you have to plan it carefully.

For the Disney fans: Sleeping Beauty Castle, Phantom Manor, Peter Pan’s Flight, Mad Hatter’s Tea Cups, Les Voyages de Pinocchio, Le Pays des Contes de Fées, Dumbo the Flying Elephant, Blanche Neige et les Sept Nains, & It’s a Small World. 

Don’t forget to see the Disney Parade in this park! Find a nice spot and wait till you see your favorite princess or prince! 

To end your day, you can’t miss the evening show: Disney Fireworks!
