On this page we explain everything. From how to buy the cheapest tickets, where to stay, what to eat, what to see, what to do, and how to get from Paris to Disneyland Paris.

Before your trip to Eurodisney…

If you are short on time, or prefer not to spend too long in queues, we recommend considering the purchase of the Disney Premier Access, it makes a huge difference to your visit.

Plan your visit according to the ages of the people in your group. Some attractions have a minimum height requirement to enter.

If you are going with young children, choose age-appropriate attractions and allow extra time for a short break, a meal, a snack, or a restroom stop.

Once you have your tickets or hotel-and-ticket package, download the Disneyland Paris app and link your ticket to save time on the day of your visit.

If you have an undated ticket, you must open the app, register it, and select a date before you can access the parks.

A great way to make the experience even more memorable and to save time and energy is to stay at a Disney Hotel or at a Hotel Near the Park.

Parades and Fireworks at Disneyland Paris

In addition to the attractions, character meet-and-greets, and shows held in the theaters of both Parks, the fun is rounded out by the traditional Disney Stars on Parade and the nighttime spectacular Disney Dreams!

In addition to the Parade at the end of the day, a themed seasonal cavalcade takes place twice during the day, with Characters also making their way down Main Street, U.S.A., dancing and delighting visitors. It's great fun and the kids absolutely love it.

Disney Dreams!

Every night the sky above Disneyland Park is lit up with a spectacular light show inspired by beloved Disney and Pixar stories, including Peter Pan, The Lion King, Beauty and the Beast, Ratatouille, Brave, and more. We don't want to spoil it, so we'll leave the details for you to discover.

Avengers: Power the Night

If you've already seen the light show at Disneyland Park, or if you're spending two nights at the Parks, don't miss the nighttime drone spectacular that lights up the sky above Walt Disney Studios Park with the full power of the MARVEL Universe. We absolutely loved it!

Getting to Disneyland Paris from the airport

To get to the Park or to your Disney Hotel (including the partner hotels) from the Paris airports Orly and Charles de Gaulle, you have several options; the most convenient and fastest is to book a private transfer from the airport to Disneyland Paris.

Another option is to take the Magical Shuttle (from €24 per person / children €11).

Getting there from Orly using only public transport will take a very long time, almost two hours, so we do not recommend it. From Charles de Gaulle you can take the fast TGV train, which gets you there in just 10 minutes.
