Tickets

The prices of entrance tickets to Disneyland Paris vary significantly during the year.

For the 2023-2024 season, they vary from €52 for 1 day and 1 park visited (child) to €368 for 4 days and 2 parks visited (adult).

The price of the tickets is defined according to:

  • Age (free for children under three; child rates apply from 3 to 11 years old; adult 12 years and over)
  • Date of the visit
  • Number of days of visit
  • Accessible parks: Disneyland and/or Walt Disney Studio
  • Pricing period

⚠️ Be careful though, to watch shows you need an additional ticket.

💡 My advice: Prepare your stay in advance. Before booking your tickets, check the pricing periods to get them at the lowest price.

Airbnbs

There are plenty of Airbnb accommodation options.

The price range is quite wide and starts at €50.

You have the choice between a hostel, a private room in an accommodation, or an entire accommodation close to the park (on foot or by bus).

Here are some options to explore:

 

Food

Disney snack castle

 

Breakfast

For breakfast, I advise you to opt for a bakery (if breakfast is not included in your accommodation).

Pastries (€1-3) and coffee (€2) will be cheaper and just as nutritious as a breakfast in a hotel at €10 or more.

 

Lunch/Dinner

Disneyland Paris Park offers a variety of lunch and dinner options.

I’ve put together a list of places with their prices so you know in advance what to expect.

Transportation

 

Car

If you come by car from Paris, you will drive about 40km (between 40 minutes and 1 hour and 30 minutes depending on traffic). Count about  €6 of gas round-trip.

That said, parking costs €30 for the day.

 

Train

For the train, you can take the RER A to its Marne-La-Vallée terminus which will cost you €7.60 for around 40 minutes.

 

My advice

  • Book your tickets and accommodation in advance to make it cheaper.
  • Buy your breakfast in a boulangerie.
  • If you are going to Disneyland with a particular attraction in mind, check to see if it will be available before booking your tickets.
  • Avoid high season; prefer mid-January to early March, or late August to late September.
  • Weekday visits are cheaper than weekends.
  • Enjoy “free” park activities. For example, even if you are not staying at Disney Animal Kingdom’s Lodge, you can still visit their zoos.
