Fans Canceling Disneyland Trips Due To Recent Changes, Claim Theme Park Is “Dead”

Guests are calling out Disneyland for its disappointing state.

Few theme parks are as popular or iconic as the original Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California. First opening in 1955, the Disneyland Resort has slowly evolved into one of the world’s best theme parks, featuring dozens of rides and attractions, world-class dining, and, of course, its famous family-friendly atmosphere. The Disney theme parks are also highly commended for their employees, who are called cast members.

Cast members provide excellent service to guests visiting and can be seen working inside attractions, restaurants, live shows, and gift shops, among dozens of other positions. However, the “bread and butter” of the Disney theme parks are attractions, and Disneyland has plenty of them.

The Disneyland Resort is divided into two separate theme parks: Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure. Each destination features a plethora of magical and unforgettable experiences, ranging from daring thrill rides to relaxing fun for the whole family. The original Disneyland Park is the most popular theme park for guests to visit, with dozens of world-famous attractions being found here.

However, Disneyland has never felt so divided and fractured as it does right now, with several popular offerings now closed.

Disneyland is home to dozens of iconic rides, attractions, and experiences, some of which have entertained guests for nearly 70 years. From classic dark rides like Haunted Mansion and Alice in Wonderland to thrilling roller coasters like Space Mountain, Matterhorn Bobsleds, and The Incredicoaster, there’s something at Disneyland for guests of all ages and interests to enjoy.

The beloved California theme park resort is undergoing one of its most transformative periods, with a new ride set to open later this year called Tiana’s Bayou Adventure. This new log flume experience replaces Disney’s notorious Splash Mountain and sees guests embark on a brand new story inspired by The Princess and the Frog  (2009).

Tiana’s Bayou Adventure was first announced in 2020 , with both Disneyland and Walt Disney World’s versions of Splash Mountain closing permanently in 2023. Magic Kingdom’s version will open first, with a summertime opening being hinted at by Disney. Disneyland’s version still does not have an opening timeframe, but progress is being made quickly on this new experience.

The decision to finally close Splash Mountain came after decades of backlash and controversy surrounding the ride, all stemming from its original source material. Splash Mountain took heavy inspiration from Disney’s long-forgotten Song of the South film, a live-action/animation hybrid released in 1946. Upon release, the film was immediately met with large amounts of controversy, so much so that protests regarding the release of the film started breaking out.

Song of the South  has been heavily criticized for its portrayal of African Americans. The film sparked outrage across the country and across multiple organizations, with the NAACP making official statements regarding Disney’s Song of the South.  This controversy continued for years, with Disney attempting to ignore it all. However, as time went on, it became clear Disney was hoping to escape the negative perception of the film, with the company halting sales of the film in stores.  Song of the South  is also unavailable to stream on Disney’s Disney+ streaming service, meaning the film was effectively wiped from society.

However, this put Splash Mountain in a very tricky spot, with the ride taking characters, music, and scenery straight from the film. For decades, Splash Mountain operated untouched and, despite its source material, became one of the most popular and beloved rides in all of Disney’s history. This all came to an end in 2023, with Tiana’s Bayou Adventure set to open later this year.

While exciting, the decision to close Splash Mountain was not popular with everybody, with some of the more vocal and passionate fans going to great lengths to stop Disney from closing the ride. A petition started up at one point in the hopes of “saving” Splash Mountain , and despite it having no effect on Disney’s decision, it managed to receive close to 100,000 signatures, indicating a large number of fans were not happy with the decision.

As a result of the construction of this new ride, Disneyland also lost Critter Country, a popular western-themed land found at the original Disneyland Park. This iconic land closed temporarily on May 1 , with a reopening date not being given. Rides like The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh and Davy Crockett’s Explorer Canoes are located in Critter Country, as will Tiana’s Bayou Adventure when it opens later this year.

These experiences are closed temporarily until work on Tiana’s Bayou Adventure finishes later this year, meaning Disneyland’s iconic Winnie the Pooh dark ride is now unavailable to guests. The troubles continue, with Disneyland also currently missing the iconic Haunted Mansion, which closed earlier this year. Over time, this spooky dark ride became the unofficial face of Disney theme parks, with several versions of the attraction being located worldwide. Disney’s Haunted Mansion transcends theme parks, quite literally, with not one but two feature-length live-action films based on this dark ride .

Unfortunately, Disneyland’s Haunted Mansion closed in January, meaning guests have not been able to ride for several months. The ride typically closes at the start of the year to return the ride to normal following its annual “Haunted Mansion Holiday” overlay. However, this closure is unlike anything ever seen at Disneyland before, with the Haunted Mansion closing for an extended amount of time as Disney constructs a brand-new outdoor queue area,

This project was announced last year , with Disneyland revealing some very exciting details about the new “Haunted Mansion grounds” expansion. Much like what happened several years ago with Magic Kingdom’s version, Disneyland’s Haunted Mansion is set to receive dozens of new interactive queue elements and brand-new scenery for guests to enjoy while waiting in line.

While exciting, this means that Disneyland is missing one of its most cherished rides. This has prompted guests to comment on the current state of Disneyland, with some deeming the theme park “dead.”

Current Attraction Closures at Disneyland

A post on the Disneyland subreddit gained significant traction over the weekend. Guests discussed the state of Disneyland Park now that Critter Country and Haunted Mansion are closed. “With all of Critter Country now closed, the west side of Disneyland is the most dead I’ve ever seen it,” states the guest.

As a result of recent closures, a total of three rides are now closed.

• The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh
• Haunted Mansion
• Tiana’s Bayou Adventure

Pooh Corner and the Pooh and Tigger meet and greets are also closed during this time, effectively leaving a significant portion of Disneyland Park empty.

“This is why I’m not going this summer. All my favorite rides are closed,” another guest responded. This sentiment is common, with multiple guests claiming they have put their Disneyland vacations on hold due to the recent closures at the resort. “I have no plans to visit the park until this is all reopened,” responded a different guest .

“It was pretty shocking to see it all torn up from the train yesterday. I kind of wish they’d screened it off. :(” said another guest .

Despite Tiana’s Bayou Adventure opening this summer at the Magic Kingdom, there is currently no timeframe for the new ride at Disneyland. This means guests don’t know when to expect to ride this new attraction, and it also means there’s no opening timeframe given for Critter Country, leaving experiences like The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh in limbo.

Things don’t get any better at Haunted Mansion, which is also officially closed. Rumors claim the ride will return for this year’s Halloween season, but only time will tell.

“Pretty bummed since I’m going in a few weeks,” said another guest .” They really should have planned the Haunted Mansion project after Tiana’s has opened.”

The new Haunted Mansion upgrade is very exciting, breathing new life into an absolutely iconic attraction. Work is being done both on the outside and inside, with recent permits indicating a few changes will also be visible throughout certain parts of the attraction.

In other news, the Disneyland Resort recently confirmed that some major upgrades are on the way for Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln. The Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California, features a wide range of experiences that could be considered historical, with Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln being a prime example.

This attraction closed to guests on April 16, earlier in the year, and is set to receive some very exciting upgrades. According to a new permit , Disneyland will soon be upgrading Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln. The new permit includes work to replace a platform, the construction of a new turntable, and upgrading various audio and visual systems. The permit’s budget is $5 million, a considerable chunk of change for such an iconic experience. The new license also lists new mechanical, electrical, and plumbing work.

While the Disneyland Resort is undergoing a rough path, these closures are necessary to make way for new and exciting additions, upgrades, and expansions. A new land based on the Avatar franchise is also in the works, providing West Coast guests with an exciting new take on the Avatar franchise.

Disney dipped its toes into the world of Pandora at Disney’s Animal Kingdom back in 2017, creating a jaw-dropping plan filled with stunning theming and impeccable attention to detail. This land, Pandora—The World of Avatar, has proven to be so popular and successful that Disney announced it was building a second version at Disneyland.

While no concrete information has been revealed, this has been one of the most exciting developments in the Disney community in recent memory, with CEO Bob Iger personally announcing the plans earlier this year.

2024 Disneyland Paris Planning Guide

Our Disneyland Paris vacation planning guide for 2024 covers info & tips for visiting the theme parks in France, plus hotel reviews, restaurant recommendations, ride ratings, and theme park itineraries. It’s current info and advice, with regular revisions based on what’s new & next at DLP and Walt Disney Studios Park. ( Updated December 27, 2023 .)

Disneyland Paris will enter a time of transition in 2024. The 30th Anniversary is over and planned expansion for the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics, World of Frozen: The Kingdom of Arendelle, has been delayed until 20225. In the meantime, Christmas is being celebrated until January 7, 2024.

The very next day, Disneyland Paris will gradually begin introducing a series of exciting experiences that will add color to cloudy winter days: Disney Symphony of Colours. This seasonal event includes a new nighttime drone sequence, a new daytime show, and brand-new decorations!

To be sure, Disney Symphony of Colours looks like a nice little off-season offering. In particular, the Disney Electrical Sky Parade–a nighttime drone parade in the sky–looks fantastic! This new nighttime show will combine synchronised drones, video projections, lights and fountains across Sleeping Beauty Castle.

However, this seasonal event won’t be nearly on par with the Disneyland Paris 30th Anniversary. Nor should it be–that was a milestone celebration, and this is a wintertime event. Beyond Disney Symphony of Colours, it’s unknown what Disneyland Paris will do in 2024. Halloween and Christmas celebrations are a given, but those won’t begin until September.

In between, there’s the Paris 2024 Summer Olympics. That will be a  huge  deal for the city, and as the biggest tourist destination in Europe, the games are likely to draw huge crowds to Disneyland Paris. It’s our expectation that the parks will do something to celebrate–and help absorb the crowds–we just don’t know what.

As mentioned above, the new Frozen land in Walt Disney Studios Park (WDSP) was supposed to be done in time for the Olympics. Instead, it looks like WDSP will be a vertiable construction zone, with the front of the park torn up and construction ongoing on the lake, new areas and attractions.

The good news is that Disneyland Paris continues to make progress in expanding and adding new things. The park has brought back “Disney Stars on Parade” and “Disney Illuminations,” and has been rolling out more new entertainment, including “Together: A Pixar Musical Adventure” and more.

The only modification still in place (for now) is that an online reservation system is in use to manage attendance. Guests who purchase dated tickets to Disneyland Paris or Walt Disney Studios Park do not need to register and reserve a date. Likewise, guests with hotel + ticket packages that include park admittance will receive admission for the duration of their stay and do not need to use the new online reservation system.

There’s also been an overhaul of the Annual Pass program, which essentially amounts to a nearly 50% price increase coupled with a reduction of benefits. Suffice to say, diehard fans have been upset, with a petition gaining traction along with threats to protest. But that probably isn’t relevant to the overwhelming majority of people reading this Disneyland Paris planning guide.

Whether you are considering a day at Disneyland Paris–the most popular tourist destination in Europe–as part of a non-Disney trip to France, or are a huge Disney fan planning an international trip for Disneyland Paris, this guide has you covered. We will detail everything from hotels to dining, and answer the important question of when is a good time to visit Disneyland Paris?

First, a bit of a primer about Disneyland Paris. Located in Marne-la-Vallée, which is actually a suburb of Paris, Disneyland Paris is about 45 minutes from the city center by train–and significantly closer to Charles de Gaulle Airport. The entire resort consists of 7 official Disney-themed hotels, several partner hotels, the Disney Village entertainment and shopping district, and the two parks: Parc Disneyland and the Walt Disney Studios Park.

The resort as a whole of Disneyland Paris is larger than Disneyland Resort and smaller than Walt Disney World. While we’d never recommend visiting France and only seeing Disneyland Paris, it is a bona fide vacation destination in itself if you wanted to make it one. Moreover, Parc Disneyland is an absolutely amazing theme park, much like the original Disneyland, albeit with far fewer rides. It does have a treasure trove of beautiful details, seasonal entertainment, and much more.

In fact, in our Best & Worst Disney Theme Parks in the World post, Parc Disneyland ranks #4, ahead of popular parks like Disney California Adventure and Epcot. It mostly scores so high because of its beauty. Before I get ahead of myself gushing over Disneyland Paris’ beauty, let’s cover the question of when you should visit Disneyland Paris…

When to Visit Disneyland Paris?

If you have your choice of dates and seasons for visiting Disneyland Paris, our strong recommendation would be to visit Disneyland Paris during spring, fall, or winter, particularly during shoulder seasons outside of France’s peak tourist seasons. In particular, we love Christmas at Disneyland Paris (see this Info & Tips post) , which is a great time to visit so long as you avoid Christmas week through New Year’s Eve.

We typically recommend avoiding the months of June through August, both because of crowds and recent heat waves that have swept over Europe the last couple summers. The only downside to not visiting during the summer is missing the Lion King Jungle Festival, which draws rave reviews. However, nothing is worth the poor weather and crowds.

Speaking of which, we find the weather to be best in Paris in April and May, and late September through November. These are the most temperate times of the year, and even though it can snow in the winter, it’s usually not too cold in mid-November. (Mid-to late December might be pushing your luck, though.)

Christmas is an excellent time to visit Disneyland Paris and Walt Disney Studios Park for a flurry of additional seasonal entertainment, and for the beautiful decorations all around the park. Plus, you cannot beat the feel of the City of Paris during the holiday months.

If you’re thinking more long-term, there’s also the question of whether to visit in 2024 or to wait. Disneyland Paris has huge long-term plans that as part of a $2.5 billion revitalization to the Walt Disney Studios Park (see concept art above) .

This redevelopment of Walt Disney Studios Park will roll out in phases leading up to the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics through 2025 or 2026. The first component was Avengers Campus, which is now open. The Kingdom of Arendelle is up next after that, and is likely to open in Summer 2025.

Another land should be coming after World of Frozen/Arendelle. It’s unclear whether that’s still the plan, though. Previously, a version of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge was slated to be built as part of the Walt Disney Studios Park expansion, but it seems like that plan was abandoned after Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge underperformed in the United States.

For everything else on the horizon at Disneyland Paris and Walt Disney Studios Park, consult our Guide to What’s New & Next in 2024 at Disneyland Paris . That covers all of the projects slated for the parks and hotels, when you can expect new attractions to debut, resort closures, and refurbishments.

Now that we know nothing is opening in time for the Paris 2024 Summer Olympics, we’d recommend visiting Disneyland Paris in the first half of 2024 in order to beat the Olympics crowds. Typically, the host cities of Olympics see bumps in tourism thanks to the marketing value of the games.

It’s not as if Paris needs Olympics coverage to put it on the map, but we’d still expect elevated visitor numbers to France in the second half of 2024 and 2025. Disneyland Paris will likely benefit from that, and see higher crowds as a result.

Of course, there’s a lot to France beyond Disneyland Paris and you should also plan your travel dates around when it’s best to visit other spots on your itinerary. The city of Paris is our second-favorite city in the world, and we highly recommend spending at least several days there.

As for traveling to the rest of France and within Europe, we highly recommend it! We offer extensive travel tips in our Ultimate Guide to Paris, France over on TravelCaffeine.com , our non-Disney travel blog. That’s a good place to start planning the other days of your vacation.

We’ve visited multiple locations in Europe, including Normandy, the Loire Valley, and Côte d’Azur regions of France. Outside of France, we’ve traveled to Norway, Denmark, Switzerland, Austria, Italy, Germany, and the United Kingdom.

While we love Disney–and Disneyland Paris–many of these other real-world locations have been the highlights of our trips. Europe is full of amazing places that leave an indelible mark on a person. There’s so much beyond the parks at Disneyland Paris, and truly something for everyone. From history to modern culture to shady red light districts (because we’re so sure Disney fans are into that sort of thing! 😉 ), there’s truly something for everyone.

If this has you tempted to travel to Europe to see Disneyland Paris and other lasting cultural experiences, or if you were already planning a visit and want more info and tips, let’s start planning! (All links open in new tabs, so feel free to click away and head down the rabbit hole!)

How Many Days?

Based upon the foregoing, when planning a trip to Disneyland Paris, you should not just plan a quick trip to see Disneyland Resort Paris, but should also plan on visiting at least Paris and another European city or two. On our first trip, we flew into Charles De Gaulle Airport in Paris, then spent equal amounts of time in Disneyland Paris and Paris, before taking the Eurostar to London and then flying out of London’s Heathrow airport.

When it comes to Europe as a whole, you should visit for as many days as you can. The reality of things is that vacation time is finite, and travel is costly, so most people probably are looking at maybe a week or so on the vacation. My strong advice would be to try and stretch the trip to at least 10 days even if that requires saving money and vacation time a bit longer.

How much time you’ll want to spend on each leg of your trip is largely a personal question. If you aren’t a Disney fan and are just going for the sake of your kids or because it’s on your list of highlights near Paris, my recommendation would probably be to just go for 1 day, spending it entirely at Parc Disneyland, experiencing some of the best attractions, and enjoying the ambiance.

If you are a Disney fan, I’d recommend 3 days at Disneyland Paris. There’s a lot to explore in Parc Disneyland, and the park is incredibly detailed, so planning on allocating 2 or 2.5 days for that park is advisable. On our trips to France, we’ve done as few days as 2 and as many as 5. Two felt like too few, and 5 was too many.

Most people can accomplish the Walt Disney Studios park in half a day or a day. There is an assortment of enjoyable attractions there, but the park is mostly ugly. I wouldn’t downright encourage anyone to skip this park, but it’s not going to be the highlight of anyone’s trip. It’s getting better, and should be a park worthy of the “Disney” name by 2024.

The best part of Walt Disney Studios Park is the La Place de Rémy mini-land, which is like a “Streets of Paris” area based upon Ratatouille. If your interest is piqued in this area, check out my Ratatouille: L’Aventure Totalement Toquée de Rémy Review and Bistrot Chez Rémy Review . Avengers Campus is also a nice addition, although the industrial style is more of the same at WDSP. Ultimately, if you only have one day to experience Disneyland Paris, skip the Studios and just do the Disneyland park.

In addition to time for exploring Parc Disneyland and the Walt Disney Studios Park, you will want to set aside a bit of time to explore the hotels and Disney Village, too. The hotels are pretty cool, whereas Disney Village is a mostly dated, sad take on Downtown Disney. The highlights of Disney Village are Earl of Sandwich and Five Guys, which are great late night meals after the parks close.

Depending upon your level of interest and stamina, seeing these areas can probably be accomplished after the parks close, depending upon what time the parks close. During my visits, even on busier days, the latest the parks closed was 10 pm; many nights the parks closed as early as 7 pm.

Most Parisians eat late dinners, so hotel restaurants are frequently open until 11 pm or 12 am (with the bars and lounges open even later), giving us ample time to enjoy the hotels after our days at the park were complete. During the summer months, the parks may be open until 11 pm or midnight, so you may have to find another time to visit the hotels and Disney Village.

Vacation Packages

Once you’ve determined how many days to visit Disneyland Paris, you need to decide whether a vacation package is for you. These work a lot like vacation packages at other Disney Parks in that they can contain a hotel, park tickets, and meal plan, or just a hotel stay.

Many of the best discounts for Disneyland Paris bundle these components together. In fact, to save money on a hotel, you almost always have to purchase park tickets from Disneyland Paris (unless you have an Annual Pass). Sometimes, the discount will be for a percentage off the room, sometimes it will include free a Half Board or Full Board Meal Package (more on this below), sometimes it’ll include free park tickets, and sometimes it will include free nights.

For example, Disneyland Paris promotions often include 30% off a room plus free Half Board dining and buy 2 nights get 2 nights free at a hotel. (Both promos include park tickets.) Alternatively, there are hotel discounts available for Annual Passholders of up to 40% off. All of these discounts are pretty representative of what’s generally offered.

What further complicates matters is that different versions of the Disneyland Paris website (e.g. the United Kingdom version, Belgium, Germany, etc.) offer different prices for the same promotion. I recently priced out a December trip, and it was ~$120 more expensive on the U.S. site than the U.K. site. Since you can book via any of these sites, regardless of where you live, it’s best to comparison shop among the different versions of the site, and book where it’s cheapest.

This can all be pretty challenging if you’re a newbie, particularly given the language barriers and default currencies on the various Disneyland Paris sites. However, it’s worth it because you’ll save the most money this way. Aside from the comparison shopping to get the best price, planning a Disneyland Paris vacation is easy as compared to a Walt Disney World vacation.

Getting There

I’m going to make the assumption that anyone reading this is flying to Europe from overseas, not a European driving to Disneyland Paris for a day trip (if you’re driving and looking for advice…try Google Maps, I guess?). From Charles De Gaulle Airport in Paris there are three main options: TGV, RER, or VEA shuttle.

The TGV is the best of these options, and it drops you off right outside Disneyland Paris’ gates. The process is very simple; head to Terminal 2 and purchase a ticket for the TGV at a kiosk in the airport with a destination of “Marne La Vallee Ches.”

This train takes 10 minutes to get from CDG to Disneyland Paris (it’s literally the first stop). The caveats here are that this train is substantially more expensive (one-way ticket prices vary, but are typically $15-30) and there can be over an hour gap between trains. Moreover, we do not recommend buying a ticket for this in advance due to flight delays, customs, etc.

The Magical Shuttle is the second-best option, but it stops at a number of hotels (think Disney’s Magical Express). However, it’s convenient and pretty easy. Prices for this vary, but it’s generally the most expensive option. You can book tickets here .

The RER is the final option. This can be time consuming, as you have to go from CDG airport to central Paris and switch lines to head back to Marne-la-Vallee. Both CDG and MLV are outside Paris, so doing this essentially means you have to backtrack. It’d be like taking a flight from Chicago to Detroit with a layover in St. Louis. However, if you’re buying a RER pass or your hotel is on the RER line, this may be your best option. It’s relatively straightforward, it just takes about an hour to accomplish.

If you’re coming from somewhere other than CDG airport, consider the Eurostar train, which also drops you off right outside Disneyland Paris’ gates. We traveled the Eurostar (aka the “Chunnel”) and it was an excellent experience. This is a great way to get to Disneyland Paris if you’re primarily visiting another major city in Europe. What’s especially nice is that a Eurostar station is right in MLV. My assumption is that this was built as part of Disney’s agreement to bring a park to Paris…because there’s no other reason why little ‘ole Marne-la-Vallee would have a Eurostar station.

All of this seems complicated and intimidating at first (at least it did to us), but it’s really simple once you understand the basics.

Where to Stay

Disneyland Paris has seven official resorts, with a variety of nearby “off-site” hotels. We have a Disneyland Paris Hotel Comparison post that compares and contrasts the hotels, offering our recommendations on where to stay. We’ll cover some of the same ground below, but if you’re debating which hotel to book, that’s really the post to read.

We’ve stayed in the recently renovated Sequoia Lodge ( click here to read our Sequoia Lodge Review ) and Hotel New York ( click here to read our Hotel New York Review ). We’ve also stayed at Newport Bay Club ( click here to read our Newport Bay Club Review ) and several off-site hotels.

Other hotels include Disneyland Hotel (the flagship Victorian-themed hotel), Hotel Cheyenne (themed to be the ‘streets’ of a Western town), and Hotel Santa Fe (designed with a cold, Southwestern pueblo style). If you were schooled by Count von Count, you probably noticed that I only mention six of the seven resorts. The last, Davy Crockett Ranch, is a campground located a bit further away that I did not visit.

Assuming you don’t have a car for your visit to France, you’ll have a few ways to get to and from Disneyland Paris: your feet, taxi, RER train, or shuttle. The 6 on-site hotels can each by accessed by walking (or shuttle). Disneyland Hotel is about a one minute walk from the turnstiles, Hotel New York is ~10 minute walk, Sequoia Lodge is ~12 minute walk, Newport Bay Club is ~15 minute walk, with Hotels Cheyenne and Santa Fe a tad above the 15 minute mark.

In terms of pricing, Hotel Cheyenne and Santa Fe are on the low end of the scale, with ascending prices for Sequoia Lodge, Newport Bay Club, Hotel New York, and finally, Disneyland Hotel. Nightly rates range from ~$100/night for Hotel Santa Fe to over $1,000/night for Disneyland Hotel. Average rates for each hotels are all over the place depending upon what kind of discount you can score.

These price fluctuations can make booking a Disneyland Paris hotel a bit frustrating. Generally speaking, we far prefer staying on-site rather than off-site. However, we are not paying over $400/night for Newport Bay Club or Sequoia Lodge. Conversely, ~$150/night makes those resorts a no-brainer (we’d even be willing to pay around $200/night).

Hotel New York has reopened after a multi-year closure for a top to bottom redo during which time it was converted to “Disney’s Hotel New York — The Art of Marvel.”

This new-look resort celebrates 80 years of Marvel storytelling in a typical New York setting, with a contemporary Art Deco style. Disney’s Hotel New York — The Art of Marvel is inspired by a New York art gallery, paying tribute to the city that is home to many iconic Marvel characters and the artists who created them.

The next resort to receive a multi-year reimagining is the flagship Disneyland Hotel. This iconic property overlooking Parc Disneyland is currently closed for an ambitious transformation at Disneyland Paris, reopening in Winter 2024 with a royal theme inspired by Disney princesses.

In addition to the room reimagining, the layout of the hotel’s public spaces and equipment in the rooms will also be enhanced. Guests will benefit from a larger pool area, an expanded spa, and updated restaurants & lounges. The totality of which is aimed at earning Disneyland Hotel a five-star rating.

This complete refurbishment is the next step in an ambitious renovation plan for all Disneyland Paris hotels spanning years and more than 5,700 rooms. The ambitious transformation plan demonstrates Disneyland Paris’s ongoing commitment to continually invest in the guest experience and improving the resort. See Reimagined Disneyland Hotel in Paris Opening Date, Concept Art, Room & Restaurant Details  for more info!

Off-Site Lodging

We’ve stayed at several off-site hotels in Val d’Europe, which is the first stop from Disneyland Resort Paris on the RER A line. Combining the time it takes to walk from Disneyland Paris to the RER station (3 minutes), the time it took on the train (5-15 minutes, depending upon the train schedule), and the time it took to walk from the station in Val d’Europe to our hotel (3 minutes), you have about a 25 minute commute, at worst. Several of these hotels are also within walking distance of Disneyland Paris (25-35 minute walks, depending upon the hotel).

The whole town of Val d’Europe is relatively new, having been master-planned in conjunction with Disney. It has a Celebration/suburbia vibe to it, but with traditional French stylization. While it doesn’t have the same historical allure of the quaint villages in France, it has its own modern charm and is not too cookie cutter. All of this is to say that the hotels of Val d’Europe are probably solid options if you don’t want to pay the insane prices of Disneyland Paris hotels.

Generally, these hotels in Val d’Europe can be booked for $75-150/night, which makes them (typically) cheaper than Disneyland Paris on-site hotels. You can also walk from some of the hotels to Disneyland Paris (Hipark Serris is the hotel closest to the parks, for what it’s worth), which is much more convenient than taking the RER, we think.

Another option, particularly if you’re spending time elsewhere in France, is Airbnb…

We have a post that discusses our Tips for Using Airbnb in case you’re unfamiliar with the service. We’ve used it several times in Europe, including a couple of times in Paris. It’s an inexpensive alternative to a hotel, and nice because it also allows you to live like a local, whether that means doing some laundry halfway through your trip or just going to the market to get fresh produce (and cheese…AND WINE!) to prepare you own meals.

Other than that, the biggest upside is price. You can find sometimes find deals on hotels in Val d’Europe, but deals on nice accommodations are less common in Paris (proper) or other cities. The value proposition of renting your own apartment or flat is significantly greater than booking a hotel.

We’ve had some really great Airbnb experiences all around the world, and wouldn’t hesitate to use it again near Disneyland Paris, or anywhere in Europe, for that matter.

Off-Site v. On-Site?

For us, the Disney on-site hotel experience isn’t just about the room. All things considered, the Disney hotels we’ve stayed in at Disneyland Paris are nicer overall than the off-site hotels. Aside from price, the one upside to the Val d’Europe hotels is getting more spacious suites and multi-room villas.

Beyond being immersed in the Disney bubble, there are some perks to staying on-site at Disneyland Paris. The big ones are being within walking distance of the parks, Extra Magic Hours, taking advantage of the Full or Half Board Meal Plans, and exclusive character meets.

By far, the biggest of these is the Extra Magic Hour perk. Guests staying in the Disney-owned hotels are able to enter the parks 2 hours before the general public to experience select attractions every morning. The first hour of Extra Magic Hours is generally pretty dead–it’s easy to get totally empty photos of Main Street, and you can experience attractions like Peter Pan’s Flight with minimal waits.

If you do decide to stay on-site, my unscientific recommendations for hotels would be: Hotel Cheyenne (value), Sequoia Lodge (moderate), or Disneyland Hotel (deluxe). Hotel Cheyenne had a fun feel to it and no pretenses of being artfully designed, likely making it a hotel kids would enjoy. Sequoia Lodge has theming is reminiscent of a National Park lodge, except with Frank Lloyd Wright inspiration oddly found throughout the architecture.

If you’re thinking about booking a Disneyland Paris vacation package, you should know about the various Meal Plans the on-site hotels offer. These are sometimes bundled into packages for “free” or available as an add-on.

This is somewhat like the Disney Dining Plan at Walt Disney World, except it uses pre-paid physical vouchers. Disneyland Paris offers Full and Half Board Meal Plans: the Half Board plan includes 1 meal voucher for lunch or dinner, plus a breakfast voucher. The Full Board plan includes 2 meal vouches for lunch and dinner, plus a breakfast voucher.

There are four different tiers to each of these Meal Plans available, escalating in price and what’s included. At the lowest end of the spectrum is the Hotel plan, which includes breakfast and dinner at your hotel only. Standard gives you a choice of 5+ buffet restaurants. Plus provides access to 15+ buffet and table service restaurants. Premium is available at almost every table service restaurant in Disneyland Paris, including character meals.

The bottom line with these Meal Plans is that they can be a really good value if you do a little research and book expensive restaurants. For example, even though the Premium Plan is $100+ per person, per night, doing daily meals at places like California Grill and Auberge de Cendrillon could amount to a daily value of over $150. Same goes for the lower tiers.

On the other hand, if you choose an expensive plan and end up doing mostly counter service meals, there’s the potential for losing a lot of money each day on the Disneyland Paris Meal Plans.

Our ultimate take is that the Meal Plans are a good option if dining is an important part of your trip and you plan to do your research ahead of time to determine where to eat (and make reservations ~60 days in advance). If dining isn’t so important or you don’t intend upon doing the research, skip the Disneyland Paris Meals. There’s one big reason for this…

The reason is that a lot of the food at Disneyland Paris is not very good. Given that this is France , you’d expect Disneyland Paris to have some stellar dining options. Unfortunately, expectations here don’t comport with reality. Restaurants at Disneyland Paris are not that good and are not that “French.”

The good news is that dining has been improving in the last few years, and we’ve had some good meals at Walt’s – An American Restaurant and Captain Jack’s. Nevertheless, we are still cautious about Disneyland Paris dining, as we’ve had hit or miss success in the ast.

We’ve since tried out many other restaurants at Disneyland Paris, some good, some really bad. The general trend is towards improvement, which is definitely reassuring. For reviews of individual restaurants, read our Disneyland Paris Restaurant Reviews . We also have a Guide to Drinking at Disneyland Paris for those who want to go out after the parks close!

If you want to avoid disappointment, we’d recommend approaching dining at Disneyland Paris from the perspective of experiencing restaurants with cool themes. Our Top 10 Themed Restaurants at Disneyland Paris post should help with this.

This is how we have approached dining there, and it has worked pretty well. The two restaurants at which we ate the first time, Walt’s and Captain Jack’s, were beautiful, and worth the experience, even considering the food. Walt’s has a similar feel to Club 33 at Disneyland, and Captain Jack’s overlooks the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction, much like Blue Bayou at Disneyland.

Counter Service meals are generally okay. It’s about what you’d expect from average counter service restaurants at Walt Disney World or Disneyland. In general, the options are not adventurous, but rather, are stereotypical theme park foods. Lots of pizza, burgers, salads, and fried foods.

This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, as portion sizes are large and prices are not out of line (by normal Disney standards). In addition, the design of many of these restaurants is truly impressive. Toad Hall features more detail than all of Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride at Disneyland, and serves some pretty good fish & chips, too.

In terms of portions, the only portion size that will be smaller in Disneyland Paris is soda. There are no free refills in any restaurant (this is typical of Europe) and soda sizes in general are much smaller. So, if you’re a Coke addict, a trip to Disneyland Paris might prove costly!

Although not as good as what you’ll find in the city of Paris, Disneyland Paris snacks are solid. We highly recommend the Cable Car Bake Shop on Main Street. Not just for its sweets, but also because it’s a beautifully designed, intimate location.

One thing to mention so that you don’t get too excited while planning specific places to eat is that Disneyland Paris often closes some of its restaurants depending upon crowds. This has been a huge issue in the last few years, and judging by the calendars published thus far, it will remain a huge problem throughout the rest of this year.

This can be very frustrating for planning purposes, and playing the “ what’s open today? ” game while in the park is equally frustrating, as the signs up indicating which restaurants are open differ from spot to spot. You often don’t know what is open until you walk up to a particular restaurant.

To make matters worse, even the limited slate of restaurants that is open often closes before 5 pm. This means that lines for dinner at the 2-3 restaurants that are open into the evening hours are ridiculously long. We’ve heard frequent reports of guests waiting 45 minutes for a (terrible) burger at Cafe Hyperion. Don’t make that mistake.

One of the easiest ways to avoid this issue is to pack snacks and eat dinner in Disney Village. There are several good options there that are all open late, including Earl of Sandwich, McDonald’s, and Five Guys. All of these restaurants are comparable to their U.S. counterparts.

Earl of Sandwich is our favorite pick; it serves most of the same sandwiches as the Earl of Sandwich locations in the United States and is reasonably priced. It’s definitely disappointing to be in one of the world’s greatest food cities and eat at U.S. chains after the park closes, but unfortunately, that’s the sad reality of dining at Disneyland Paris.

Our over-arching recommendation for those with finite travel budgets would be to save your money for dining in the city of Paris and eat on the cheap in Disneyland Paris. You may want to give at least one table service meal a try before adopting this strategy, though.

We’ve found that most people visit Disneyland Paris for 2 days, and if that’s your plan, our 1-Day Disneyland Paris Park Itinerary and 1-Day Walt Disney Studios Park Itinerary provide step-by-step touring plans for “perfect” days in each of the parks. If you have 3 days or more, simply explore at a leisurely pace in those additional days.

Additionally, we have tips for buying Disneyland Paris tickets in our Disneyland Paris Ticket Tips & Info post, which covers where to find discount park tickets, and the pros & cons of getting an Annual Pass versus buying single day tickets (it’s a closer call than you might think!). Remember that if you’re staying on-site at a Disneyland Paris hotel, there’s a good chance your package will include park tickets.

Then there’s the attractions. Chances are you’ve visited a Disney theme park some time in your life, and you have an idea of what attractions are worth experiencing. The biggest differences in Disneyland Paris are park design, layout, and level of detail. Many of the attractions are very similar in general nature to their US counterparts.

If you’re interested in developing a strategy for attractions or figuring out which to do and which to skip, check out our Disneyland Paris Attractions Guide and our Walt Disney Studios Park Attractions Guide . These guides have ratings for every attraction in Parc Disneyland and WDSP, and our recommendations for doing them.

In general, Disneyland Paris excels because it offers a lot to explore and excellent execution on theme. A die-hard Disney fan will notice differences in many attractions from the US versions, making every attraction a worthwhile experience. A casual guest will probably find that many attractions are “exactly the same” as their US counterparts.

Regardless of where you fall in that spectrum, you will enjoy the details and design if you slow down to enjoy them. That’s what we strongly recommend doing, and that’s how we believe Disneyland Paris is best enjoyed. Spend some time in the shops on Main Street, wander through the restaurants, and look for clues about the backstory.

What About Maintenance?

If you’ve done any research into Disneyland Paris, you might’ve already read horror stories about the park’s upkeep. Historically, it has been so bad that we’re dedicating an entire section in this guide to the topic. Thankfully, this is not nearly as big of a problem as it once was. By and large, maintenance at Disneyland Paris is now close to on par with the U.S. Disney Parks.

A dramatic refresh to the entire resort called “Project Sparkle” has revitalized several popular attractions and entire lands. This is finished in the parks and is now continuing with the hotels.

Thankfully, Disneyland Paris has already turned a corner in terms of maintenance and refreshing the park. Now, we are seeing all of the hard work and refurbishments pay off, and Disneyland Paris is sparkling as a result. Let’s just hope it stays that way!

What to Pack

The items on our Unique Disney Packing List will be helpful in any of the Disney theme parks. Specific to Paris, one thing you will need is a voltage converter. We highly recommend this BESTEK Portable Travel Converter with multiple outlets. You can find cheaper ones, but they will be larger, heavier, and take up valuable real estate in your suitcase.

Another thing we recommend, particularly if you plan on traveling internationally beyond France, is purchasing a pocket MiFi unit. For years, we rented these when traveling, until we did a bit of research and discovered they’re fairly cheap to purchase.

I bought this Huawei 4G LTE Mobile Wifi Hotspot and then purchased a cheap (~$40 Orange Holiday) 10 GB SIM card at a Relay store in Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport when we landed. If you have an unlocked phone, you can just put the SIM card directly into that, but we prefer the MiFi unit so that we can connect multiple devices. We find this to be a more efficient strategy when traveling internationally.

If you are going to be staying in multiple hotels during your European vacation, we highly recommend packing cubes or compression bags (I prefer the cubes) for organization. You can read more of our “carry-on philosophy” and which types of bags we use here . Seriously, this is really critical if you’re going to spend time on the rails or walking through Europe. So much easier than dragging around a ton of luggage!

When packing, also keep in mind that the climate of Paris is not the same as that of Orlando or Anaheim. Paris has legitimate winters, complete with snow and all. If you’re visiting any time from October through March, you should pack for cooler weather. Our Packing for Disney in Winter Guide is a start, but during the height of winter, you will want really warm clothes for many days.

Other Wisdom

It should come as no surprise that Europe does not use the US dollar as a currency. You can order euro from your bank prior to your trip, but withdrawing from an ATM is the better and easier route so long as your bank doesn’t charge exorbitant fees. It didn’t used to be the case, but now this is typically the better option.

Ideally, you’ll have a chipped credit card and will use that for the vast majority of your purchases. Chipped cards make international travel a breeze because they largely eliminate the need to deal in cash (besides from street vendors and other “older” retailers that don’t accept cash). We used chipped credit cards throughout our trip and just carried a bit of cash that we almost never used.

Moving on to another important “issue” for many people: smoking. While Disneyland Paris’ website will lead you to believe that smoking is only allowed in designated areas, the reality is that people smoke in every outdoor area. This is part and parcel of European culture, and something to keep in mind if smoke bothers you.

Free wireless internet is now available throughout Disneyland Paris and Walt Disney Studios Park, the Disney Village, and all resort hotels. This is a relatively new development that roughly coincided with the rollout of the official Disneyland Paris app. There’s also free WiFi at the Disney Village McDonald’s and Earl of Sandwich, and most of the off-site hotels.

The toilets at Disneyland Paris are all highly advanced prototype “SMRT-1” devices that feature facial recognition, and will greet you by saying, “How do you do, sir/m’am?” It is customary and appropriate to respond to this by saying, “I’m well, how are you?” It is not considered rude to decline to respond to any of the toilet’s additional conversation.

Just kidding on that last tip…although it is a foreign country, it’s not a foreign universe! If you can navigate the US parks, you’ll be fine in Disneyland Paris!

For the most part, this should cover everything you need for planning for a trip to Disneyland Paris. I update this guide regularly based on changes in Disneyland Paris (and I have a Disneyland Paris Annual Pass burning a hole in my pocket, so I plan on making another return trip soon), so rest assured that the information here is current. With that said, if you have any unresolved questions, please feel free to ask in the comments.

If you need help planning your Disneyland Paris vacation beyond this, we recommend contacting an experienced (no fee), Authorized Disney Vacation Planner , which will also help you find the best deals.

What are your thoughts on traveling April of 2025? Our April break next year ends on Easter Sunday. Thank you!

THANK YOU for all of this insight. We went to DLP in late March 2023 with our 8 year old daughter and this guidance was key.

Staying in Serris in an AirBNB was great and felt almost “on-site”, because the village is so themed. There is a little boulangerie on the Main Street that would not be out of place in the parks.

The 30th Anniversary show with the drones was astonishing – I’ve never heard the sound of that many people gasping in unison.

“Un Monde die S’Illumine”, for parents of an 8 year old who had been in pandemic lockdown since she was 5 – the lyrics “We’re gonna dream a little bigger / Laugh a little harder / Sing a little louder now”, were really cathartic and moving. Like an announcement that the world is coming back.

The restaurant review link is broken, FYI

i have never beem to paris

Thank you for the detail & all of the links to your other articles!! We are planning a very cold early Feb 2024 visit (due to other plans) and when I try to book a hotel package, it won’t let me change the number of ticket days. I need 4 nights and 3 days b ut it will only give my 4 nights and 5 days of tickets. Any experience or tips with this??

DL Paris isn’t one of the US parks where we can customize our packages! DL Paris makes you buy one more day of ticket than nights of hotel stay. We bought a 4 day ticket with 3 nights for next month. We really only wanted a 3 day and 3 night package.

I read somewhere online you can call Disney Land Paris and book hotel and tickets seperately as opposed to a package. Maybe that will work?

Planning a Trip to Disneyland Paris: Tips & Advice

By: Author Sophie Nadeau

Last Updated on 4th March 2023 by Sophie Nadeau

If you’re planning a trip to Disneyland Paris then this is the guide for you. Whether you’re wondering the best time of the year to go, what to wear, or indeed some of the best-kept secrets of the Disneyland Park in France, then we have you covered.

I recently visited Disneyland Paris for the first time as a twenty-something year old with two of my good friends. Despite grey clouds overhead, we had an amazing time and I highly recommend a visit to families, couples, and friend groups alike as a trip to Disney is easily one of the best day trips from Paris.

Purchase your Disneyland Paris tickets in advance with GetYourGuide.

Disneyland Park

Walt disney studios park, disney village, purchase your tickets in advance, be prepared to wait, wear comfortable walking shoes, use the disneyland paris app, you aren’t allowed to dress up, visit disneyland park second, decide what rides you want to visit, avoid visiting on national holidays, parking is expensive, bring your own food/ snacks, you don’t need to know french, wear a backpack, if you’re visiting in early spring/ late autumn/ winter, can you visit both parks in one day, is there single rider, is there fastpass, what is disneyland paris like in 2023, is it worth visiting disneyland paris if you don’t like rollercoasters, what else is close to disneyland paris, disneyland paris overview.

Disneyland is a huge sprawling site that comprises of a series of different areas. It is easily walkable over the course of around half an hour and so this section will breakdown the different parts of the park, as well as what there is to do in each section.

Disneyland Park, or Parc Disneyland as it is so-called in French is the larger of the two theme park areas of Disneyland Paris. This is the oldest part of the park and is where iconic attractions such as the ‘pink castle’ can be found.

The pink castle is, of co urse, the Sleeping Beauty Castle (Le Château de la Belle au Bois Dormant) and is a must-see while in the park. Under renovation, and therefore covered by scaffolding, for part of 2021, as of mid-November 2021, Sleeping Beauty’s Castle is once more available to see.

Disneyland Park is also gorgeous to visit as it is home to Main Street USA. This is the first place you visit once you enter Disneyland Park and is meant to resemble US towns of the early 20th-century. This part of the park is home to restaurants and boutiques.

The entirety of the Disneyland park is centred around the Sleeping Beauty Castle, with lands to the North, East, South, and West.

Main Street USA is where the Parade takes place. The four themed lands are Fantasyland (mainly rides geared towards young children), Frontierland, Discoveryland (named Tomorrowland in California), and Adventureland.

The smaller and newer of the two theme park areas at Disneyland is the Walt Disney Studios Park. This part of the park includes rides related to Walt Disney Studios movies and so it’s here where you’ll find the Toy Stories Rides, Cars rides etc.

Walt Disney Studios Park feels a bit older than the other parts of Disneyland Paris and doesn’t really have the same kind of ‘magical’ feel as the rest of the lands. Of note, there is a Marvel rides section of the park which opened in 2022 and is a new fan favourite.

Outside of the two parks, there is a small shopping area that includes merchandise shops, eateries, and other entertainment venues. This is similar to Disney Springs and Downtown Disney in the USA parks.

If you’re travelling from further away and are in France to see Disneyland as opposed to the city of Paris, then there is a hotel area of the park comprising of six hotels. There are also two newer hotels, though they’re located a little further away from the rest of the Disneyland Park.

Disneyland Paris tips

If it’s your first trip to Disneyland Paris, then there are a number of things to know before visiting. Having recently enjoyed the park for the first time, there were some things that I wish I had known sooner!

If you’re planning a visit to Disneyland, then you should know that my number one travel tip would be to reserve your tickets in advance. This will save you from wasting time waiting in line to purchase tickets. Purchase your Disneyland Paris tickets in advance with GetYourGuide.

If there’s one thing that I had no idea about prior to visiting Disneyland Paris, it’s that you should be prepared for a day of waiting.

Unless you purchase Premier Access (which is on a per ride basis and can easily add up to a small fortune), then you should be prepared to wait between 5 minutes to over 2 hours between rides.

If available and you don’t mind splitting up from your friends and sitting alone on a ride, then Single Rider access to rides can have a much shorter waiting time.

For example, to access the Ratatouille ride it would have taken us 60 minutes as a group. Going as single riders meant that we only had to wait for 25 minutes.

As I just mentioned, you can often be waiting for a long time in order to access certain rides. As such, I would recommend wearing your comfiest trainers and avoid wearing any shoes that might cause discomfort during the day. I also managed to walk over 20,000 steps during my time by simply walking around the site.

One of the most invaluable tips for visiting Disneyland Paris that I received was to download the Disneyland Paris app prior to my visit.

The app gives you a list of all the rides that are currently in operation (rides can often close at short notice throughout the day) and how long the wait times are.

The map available will also show you which rides are currently allowing Single riders (though it unfortunately doesn’t give you the single rider waiting times) and will tell you how long the queue for each ride will take.

Guests over the age of 12 aren’t allowed to wear costumes to visit the park. Luckily, if you’re creative, you can still wear outfits ‘in the vein of’ your favourite characters. This is called ‘Disney Bounding’ and you can read more about it here.

You can also purchase Disney ears at most of the shops throughout the parks (though you might be allowed to take them off for certain rides). People of all ages wear Disney ears.

As well as the classic Minnie ears, there are special releases of Disney ears and I personally love my purple sparkly ones. If you’re looking to purchase a souvenir from your time at Disneyland Paris, I highly suggest making it a pair of ears that you can wear on your next Disney trip, wherever that may be.

If you’re planning on visiting both attraction parks in one day, visit Disneyland Park after visiting Walt Disney Studios Park. Disneyland Park closes much later and has more to see/ do.

If you’re only visiting Disneyland Paris for a day (and especially if you’re planning on visiting both parks over the course of a day) , then you won’t be able to go on all of the rides. This can be disappointing to hear, but of course gives you the excuse to go back to Disneyland Paris in the future!

Get each person in your group to decide which rides they would most like to go on and focus on visiting those ones first so as to ensure that you have time to queue and go on them.

I would also recommend trying to go on the most popular rides (such as Ratatouille and Space Mountain) earlier in the day as these rides tend to have the longest lines.

If you want to visit Disneyland Paris and have the best chance at avoiding long queues to go on each attraction, then I would recommend avoiding French holidays. Since Disneyland Paris is so easy to reach from the UK, then I would also recommend avoiding UK bank holidays too. Avoid weekends too if you can help it!

Parking at Disneyland Paris costs €30 and motorbikes cost €20. As such, if you’re able to visit the park by public transportation, then this is likely a much easier and stress-free option.

The closest train station to Disneyland Paris is Marne-la-Valée-Chessy which is around a two-minute walk away from the entrance to the park. The station is on the RER A and provides a direct connection to central Paris in around 45 minutes.

I won’t be the first to say that the quality of the food at Disneyland Paris is not the best! There are two options when it comes to eating at DLP. The first is that you can sit in a restaurant (book in advance as space can fill up fast) , though this will set you back at least €30 per person.

The other option is to get food to go from one of the many vans/ stalls/ fast food joints from across the park. However, the vast majority of these options are unhealthy and pricey, with a hot dog costing €10. There is at least one vegetarian option at every restaurant.

One of the most overlooked Disneyland travel tips by first timers is that you can bring your own food and drink into the park (alcohol is not allowed) . While picnics are not looked on fondly, you could still bring snacks and sandwiches into the park with you, which is what we opted to do.

As Disneyland is such an international destination, you don’t need to have any knowledge of French. All signs and attractions throughout both parks are bilingual (the information is available in both French and English) . All staff members also speak good English.

Suggested packing/ what to wear at Disneyland Paris

Whether you want to bring an extra sweater in case of cold or if you’re looking to bring snacks, then be sure to bring a backpack. Bring a backpack that’s small enough to fit in the seat at your feet to go on the rides.

One of the most random facts about Disneyland Paris is that the original idea for the Europe site would be that it would be in a warmer climate to match the sites in the USA. However, Paris ultimately won the bid due to its proximity to so many millions of people.

As such, if you visit Paris in the late autumn/ winter/ early spring, then you should be prepared for all seasons. At these times of the year, the weather can change rapidly and you can easily experience rain and blue skies within the space of a single hour.

As such, I highly recommend wearing layers so that you can dress up against the elements as required. Other essentials include an umbrella (a small one to fit in your backpack), a hat, and gloves.

Frequently asked questions about visiting Disneyland Paris

Yes. It is possible to visit both Walt Disney Studios Park and Disneyland Park in one day. They are right next to one another and so just a few minutes walk apart. Both have their own separate entrances that you’ll have to go through in order to access the parks.

With this being said, if I only had the time/ money to visit one park, then I would choose to visit Disneyland Park.

This is the larger of the two parks and also the more traditional as it has a classic ‘Disney’ feel. You could easily spend an entire day exploring just one park, watching all of the shows, and enjoying all of the smaller rides on offer.

Due to ongoing world events, the single rider option for rides at Disneyland Paris was closed. However, as of November 2021, single rider is once again available. When you’re on site, use the app to check whether or not single rider is in operation on the day.

For example, when I visited Disneyland with friends, we didn’t have the option to go into a single rider queue for rides such as Crush’s Coaster in the Walt Disney Studios Park or the Big Thunder Mountain ride in Disneyland Park.

FastPass has been retired and so you can no longer acquire it to reduce your wait times for rides. There is now the option to buy Disney Premier Access. Access can be purchased on a per ride basis and is typically priced from €5- €15 per ride. Find out more information here.

There is currently no mandatory mask wearing in the park, though it remains recommended. As of autumn 2021, parades are once more taking place.

As of April 1st, 2022, character meet and greets are once more happening, meaning that a trip to Disneyland Paris is once more quite similar as to what it was like prior to 2020.

Yes! There’s something for everyone when it comes to Disneyland Paris. From relaxing riverboat rides to rollercoasters with loops, and everything in-between. I am personally got a greatly big fan of scary/ intense rollercoasters and still had an amazing time!

Disneyland Paris is a short walk (or train/ bus ride) away from La Vallée Village , the most successful designer outlet in France. La Vallée Village is a shopping outlet that comprises of over 110 stores, including plenty of designer French brands.

As well as ‘accessible’ designers such as Sandro, Maje, Levi’s, and Guess, there are also high-end designers such as Gucci, Balenciaga, Prada, and Burberry. La Vallée Village is part of The Bicester Village Shopping Collection Villages.

Do you happen to know if there's a COVID testing site in the Disney Village or at any of the on-site hotels for travelers who need a negative test to return the their home country?

Sophie Nadeau

Thursday 12th of May 2022

There was one in the Village but I did a quick Google search and when I went on the testing service website (through the link), it said it had been closed down: https://disneylandparis-news.com/en/how-do-i-get-a-pcr-test-during-your-visit-to-disneyland-paris/

How To Visit Disneyland Paris In 2024

Erica Forster Last Updated: October 26, 2023

If you’re a Disney fan, this is a no-brainer! You can expect the same attractions as other Disneyland locations plus unique Paris additions that make it extra special. In this guide, find out how to visit Disneyland Paris including how to get there, when to go, if it’s worth it, and more.

Pro Tip: Planning what to do on your trip to Paris? Bookmark this post in your browser so you can easily find it when you’re in the city. Check out our guide to Paris for more planning resources, our top Paris tours for a memorable trip, and the best things to do in Paris .

Visiting Disneyland Paris: What We’ll Cover

Officially ranked as Europe’s most popular tourist destination, Disneyland Paris is the first and only Disney park in Europe. It opened in 1992 and has been welcoming visitors of all ages from around the world ever since.

You can expect attractions similar to the original Disneyland in California, including the beloved Main Street U.S.A., Adventureland, Fantasyland, Frontierland, and more. However, the French park definitely has its own uniqueness and isn’t identical to other Disney parks.

Before investing your time and money into a day at Disneyland, you’ll want to know what to expect and if it’s really worth taking up one of your European vacation days. In this guide, we’ll outline the main things you need to know before visiting Disneyland Paris. Here’s what we’ll cover:

• Opening hours and tickets
• How to get there
• Which park to visit
• How long to budget for your visit
• When to visit
• Do you need to plan an itinerary
• Is it worth it to visit

Disneyland Paris Hours and Tickets

At Disneyland Paris, you can visit one or both of the parks: Disneyland Park and Walt Disney Studios Park. You must purchase your tickets in advance.

You’ll be able to choose between dated and undated tickets for one day (including one park) or multiple days (including both parks). The longer you visit the more you save on your tickets.

There are a lot of options when it comes to choosing the right tickets for your visit. You can combine Disneyland tickets with hotel bookings, shuttles, and extra experiences.

Ticket prices range from €62 to €130 for individual tickets depending on whether you choose dated or undated tickets, how many days you’ll visit, and whether you plan to visit one or both of the parks. Check out the official website for ticket information and booking .

Opening hours:

Opening hours for the Disneyland parks are subject to change, particularly closing times. Be sure to check the website for up-to-date opening times for both parks for the day of your visit. Here is a general guide to opening hours:

Open daily, Monday to Friday from 9:30 am to 9 pm, Saturday and Sunday from 9:30 am to 10 pm (closing times are subject to change).

Address: Bd de Parc, 77700 Coupvray, France

How To Get To Disneyland Paris

It would have been impossible to build a Disney theme park in the center of Paris. Instead, the park is located in a city called Marne-la-Vallée, east of Paris. While there are many different ways to get to Marne-la-Vallée from Paris, the easiest option is by train.

The easiest way to get to Disneyland from Paris is by train. You’ll need to take the RER A line (on the Paris metro maps, it’s always indicated as a red line). Metro ticket prices are zone-based, and since Marne-la-Vallée is outside of Paris, using a regular metro ticket won’t work.

You’ll need to purchase a different ticket, which costs €5 one way. You can buy these at any machine in Paris metro stations, but we recommend purchasing one with the help of an employee working at one of the help counters if possible, just to avoid any mistakes.

As you’re waiting for the RER A train, you’ll notice that the RER As are labeled differently. That’s because halfway through the RER A eastern route, there’s a fork in the route. You need to make sure that you get on a train heading to Marne-la-Vallée – Chessy, otherwise you could be traveling in a different direction.

While this may sound a bit stressful, it’s easier than it sounds. When you’re on the train platform, overhead signs will indicate which directions the upcoming trains are going, and there’s even a pair of Mickey ears next to the train station name that you need to get to. When in doubt, don’t be afraid to ask a friendly-looking Parisian—they all know where Disneyland Paris is.

Once you get on the RER A, you don’t need to worry about keeping track of when to get off the train, as the Marne-la-Vallée – Chessy stop is the very last stop on the route. When you exit the station, signs will easily indicate how to get to Disneyland. It’s less than a five-minute walk from the station, so you can’t miss it!

Driving to Disneyland Paris is also possible. This might be the best option if you’re heading to Disneyland from a city other than Paris or if you’re really trying to get the most out of your rental car.

From the very heart of Paris, Disneyland is only about 25 miles away. Keep in mind, though, that traffic in the Paris city center and its suburbs can be unpredictable. Driving will definitely take you over an hour one way—likely longer, especially if you drive during rush hour. Parking at Disneyland is set at €30 for a normal-sized car, but you should always check their website for the most up-to-date fares.

If you’re staying in Paris, we still highly recommend going by train. However, we don’t recommend trying to take a taxi to Disneyland Paris. Since it’s not a flat fare, you don’t want to risk watching that meter running while you’re stuck in bad traffic. Uber is possible, but prices fluctuate. The train will likely still be quicker and cheaper in the long run.

From the Airport

If you’re staying at one of the Disney hotels or a partner hotel, there’s a Magic Shuttle Bus that transfers clients from both Parisian Airports (CDG and Orly) to the hotels. The ride takes about an hour, give or take.

Which Park Should I Visit?

As with some of Disney’s other locations, Disneyland Paris has two adjoining but separate parks: Disneyland Paris and Walt Disney Studios Park.

Walt Disney Studios

Walt Disney Studios Park was built in 2002 and is smaller than Disneyland. It’s dedicated to movies and showbusiness, giving visitors more of a behind-the-scenes look at the film industry. There are some rides (although not nearly as many as in Disneyland) that are fun to try, such as a 3D Ratatouille adventure ride.

The Tower of Terror and a cool Crush coaster ride (from Finding Nemo) are also favorites. If you enjoy shows, Walt Disney Studios hosts a couple of fantastic events, like a stunt show and “Frozen” musical. Check the Disney calendar to find out what’s on during your visit.

Disneyland Park

Disneyland Park offers more classic rides you’ve likely encountered if you’ve visited another Disney park. Big Thunder Mountain, Indiana Jones, and the Haunted Mansion make up the main forty attractions here. Disneyland Park has more rides and also a bit more of a classic Disney feel than its counterpart.

Tickets allowing you to visit one or both parks are available. However, if you’re only visiting for one day and none of the Walt Disney Studios Park attractions are must-dos for you, then we recommend purchasing a ticket just for Disneyland. If you’re visiting for multiple days or just absolutely want to see both parks, the park hopper ticket is the way to go. You can check out everything you need to know about current ticket pricing here .

How Long To Spend at Disneyland Paris

The number of days you spend at Disneyland Paris will depend on you and the focus of your trip. If your goal is to see every inch of both parks and attempt to go on almost every ride, we recommend three days.

We realize, however, that most visitors living outside of Europe aren’t coming to France solely for Disneyland Paris. If your main purpose is visiting the city of Paris, one day at the park is enough to give you a great taste of Disney, get your money’s worth but also not make you feel like you wasted your time.

If you do decide to visit Disneyland Paris for more than one day, you might choose to stay in one of the multiple Disney-themed hotels located within less than 10 minutes’ walking distance from the park. While our favorite is the classic Disneyland Hotel, it’s currently being renovated and isn’t expected to reopen until sometime in 2023.

When To Visit Disneyland Paris

Most visitors will likely align their Disneyland Paris visit with a European travel experience. If this is the case, you certainly shouldn’t plan what time of year to travel based solely on this guide. However, if your main reason for traveling is to visit Disneyland Paris, then there are a few prime moments to go.

March to April and September to October: these are our favorite times to visit. These months experience fewer crowds as well as usually pleasant weather.

December is also a great time to go if you want to see Disneyland decorated in peak Christmas attire. If possible, avoid July and August, as these dates are the most crowded and also sometimes experience heat waves.

Do I Need To Plan an Itinerary

Some Disney fans enjoy planning out their day at Disneyland before it even begins. While this is certainly an option, we think it’s less necessary at Disneyland Paris than at some other Disney parks. If you’re in somewhat good shape, it’s fairly easy to walk your way through Disneyland Paris. While it covers more acres than Disneyland in California, it’s significantly smaller than Disney World in Florida.

When it comes to food, many French and European visitors bring their own lunches from home. This is not at all frowned upon. A large number of restaurants in Disneyland Paris feature American food. If you’re American, be warned that this is a European view of American food and not the most delicious version.

Is It Worth It To Visit Disneyland Paris?

If this is not your first time at a Disney park, we recommend just going with the flow. Disneyland Paris is not a cookie-cutter version of the other parks and does have its differences. Some of these are positive, like the fact that their version of Thunder Mountain Railroad is much longer than the California version.

They have a cool green dragon “living” underneath Sleeping Beauty’s Castle, and the Crush Coaster ride in the Walt Disney Studios park is fantastic fun. However, there are a few things that are potential downsides. Remember, France isn’t famous for having great customer service.

The employees at Disneyland Paris might appear a tad less joyful than in other parks. There are designated outdoor smoking areas, but don’t be surprised to see some people lighting up cigarettes in non-designated areas. Their food and drink items also don’t quite live up to the expectations one might have when they think of famous French food.

If you’re a true Disney fan, though, this is a no-brainer. A day at Disneyland Paris, especially if you’re traveling with kids, is guaranteed to be a fun and unforgettable day. If you’re on the fence, try to weigh the pros and cons of visiting Disney versus what else you could see in the city of Paris.

Our Future Starts Now with DisneylandForward

by Ken Potrock , President, Disneyland Resort

Exciting news out of Anaheim tonight – I’m thrilled to share that the city council has given final approval for DisneylandForward , and the next era of Disneyland Resort is about to begin!

We’ve worked closely with city staff, neighbors, and our local community over the past three years to make sure DisneylandForward is a win for everyone – I’m grateful the city council agrees and voted to work with us on this legacy project that will set up Disneyland Resort and the City of Anaheim for an incredibly bright future.  

With updated land use approvals through DisneylandForward, we can build new entertainment experiences for our fans, create thousands of new jobs, and bring new revenue streams to Anaheim.

DisneylandForward Approval Kicks off Endless Possibilities

Almost 70 years ago, Walt Disney opened his original theme park and created a new standard of immersive experiences.

With the addition of Disney California Adventure Park, Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa and Downtown Disney District in 2001, Disneyland Resort became the premier, multi-day vacation destination in Southern California.

Since then, we’ve continued to invest, bringing awe-inspiring expansions like Cars Land,  Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge , Avengers Campus, The Villas at Disneyland Hotel, and our newly reimagined Pixar Place Hotel .

Now, it’s time for the next chapter in the legacy of Disneyland Resort . We’re ready to build on decades of innovation, creativity, and storytelling to bring new, exciting experiences for our guests. The possibilities are boundless , and I can’t wait to see what our Disney Imagineers dream up next!

The Vote for DisneylandForward is an Investment in Anaheim

We’ll be investing at least $1.9 billion in the resort in the first 10 years. Cal State Fullerton’s economic impact study projects increased revenues of about $15 million annually for Anaheim from each $1 billion we invest. This will help fund necessary community services, including additional fire and police, parks, and libraries.

We’ve also committed to a unique benefits package for Anaheim and its residents, including $30 million for affordable housing, $8 million for parks, $85 million in traffic improvements and pedestrian safety , and continued investment in workforce development programs.

We’re honored to partner with Anaheim on this historic project and excited to move into this next chapter together.

DisneylandForward will bring over 4,500 operational jobs to Disneyland Resort — which is very exciting since more than 2,200 people apply for hourly roles every week — along with nearly 9,000 construction jobs within the first 10 years.

We are committed to making meaningful differences in the lives of current and future cast members with benefits like affordable healthcare and childcare for those eligible, opportunities for mentorships and training, and assistance toward educational goals – like the fully paid tuition we provide for hourly cast through our Aspire program .

Yes, our future is indeed bright.

For nearly seven decades, Disneyland Resort has made a unique, irreplaceable impact on hundreds of millions of guests from around the world. How exciting to know our best days are still ahead – I can’t wait to show you what’s to come.

“Disneyland will never be completed. It will continue to grow as long as there is imagination left in the world.” – Walt Disney

It is uplifting to see that certain governments realize the benefits of such an expansion and cooperation. Other areas should wake up n lean the synergy potential.

Kudos to the team that made it happen. Looking forward!

Please, Disney. Fix the Peoplemover, before embarking on this new venture.

Otherwise, it’s a bit of a backwards priority.

If we don’t get a Tangled ride like Tokyo, it will be a huge missed opportunity! Don’t make that mistake, please bring us this ride!

This is so exiting! Can’t wait to see what new lands are going to be opening.

This is so exciting! I can’t believe this is happening! So happy!

Congratulations from a recently retired Cast Member of twenty years. I can’t wait to experience all that this new plan has to offer!!

Can’t wait for all the details at D23! Congratulations!

Congratulations! 😀 🙂

Hoping for exciting announcements at the D23 Ultimate Fan Event for Disneyland! 😀 🙂

From projects that open within the next few years to (if possible) several years/decades from now!

I hope that details are revealed at the D23 event in August!
