Disneyland Paris Tickets

The multitude of attractions and everything you can learn about cinema and special effects make Disneyland a unique visit for everyone, even if you go without children or if Disney movies aren't your favorite.

Before buying your ticket, you should know that there are two parks: the traditional park (Disneyland) and the Disney studios (Walt Disney Studios). They are next to each other and both have attractions: the cheapest option is to buy a 1-day ticket valid for one of the two parks.

A one-day ticket to Disneyland Paris is not only the cheapest option for visiting the Disney universe, but also adapts to your preferences during your visit. Choose whether you prefer to spend your day at just one of the parks (the one you want) or, for a little more, enter both and move between them as you please.

Of course, the ticket gives you access to all the attractions and shows at the park you choose, or both parks if applicable. By buying your ticket in advance, you'll make the most of your time as you won't have to queue at the entrance and, once you've validated your ticket, you can enjoy everything the Disney parks have to offer as many times as you like and in any order you like.

Recommended if... you want to secure your ticket to the Disney parks before your visit and avoid queuing on arrival.

It's easy: you can buy your Disneyland tickets online in advance to ensure the best prices. You can also choose between a one-day ticket, a two-day combined ticket (which is cheaper than buying both separately), and even a package that includes transportation from Paris, which is also cheaper than booking separately.

After conducting a thorough study of all the different types of tickets available, the one-day park ticket is the cheapest, especially if you choose to visit only one of the two parks.

Starting at around €50, depending on the season, you can get the cheapest tickets to Disneyland. In this case, you will have one-day access to one of the two parks, whichever you choose. If you want to make the most of your day and try to enjoy all the attractions possible, you can buy tickets for both parks starting at €100.

Other options include multi-day passes to Disneyland, which allow you to choose how many days you want to visit the Disney complex in Paris when you book. From around €175 for two days, up to approximately €300 for four days, you can get these passes with unlimited access to both parks.

In any case, there are discounts for children aged 3 to 11, and children under that age get in free without a ticket reservation.

Yes, it is possible to visit both parks in one day if you don't have much time to spend on your visit, but you will obviously miss out on some things. Disneyland Paris is a huge complex that includes shops, hotels, nightclubs, restaurants, and squares, in addition to the parks. However, if you want to save money on tickets and you're not a Disney fan, visiting both parks is a good option, even if you can only spend one day there.

Everything is cared for with the same attention to detail as the parks (after all, the entire Disney park universe is characterized by the meticulousness and care behind every element). With your 1-day Disneyland ticket, you can explore much of the resort, although there will be many attractions and shows that you will have to save for another time.

Is it worth buying a two-day ticket?

If you're going to be there for two days, of course: the cheapest option is to buy a two-day ticket to Disneyland from the outset and spend a whole day at each park. What's more, if you really love the world of Disney, the ideal option for you might be to get a three-day pass to see both parks. For a little more money, you can really take your time and enjoy both parks at your leisure. You can choose any of these options when you make your reservation.

The Hollywood Tower Hotel, Walt Disney Studios

For those curious about the world of cinema and special effects, Walt Disney Studios will be a paradise, and remember that it's included in your 1-day park ticket. You'll save money with the pass if you choose to visit it together with Disneyland on the same day.

It offers different shows (with several passes throughout the day) where you can learn how Disney movies were made and what the first special effects in the history of cinema were. You can see a car action show, enter the Armageddon spaceship, ride the Aerosmith roller coaster, or try the free fall of the Tower of Terror.

This park also has areas dedicated to Pixar movies such as Toy Story, Monsters, Inc., Finding Nemo (the turtle air currents attraction is a must-see), and Ratatouille. It's smaller than the main park, but it has just as many attractions and shows. I highly recommend you don't miss it.

Ana's Travel Tip

If you're going to see both parks in one day, remember that Walt Disney Studios closes at 7pm, while Disneyland is open until 11pm.

If we've learned anything in recent times, it's that flexibility when traveling and being able to change or cancel dates is an advantage. So, if you're thinking of traveling to Paris and aren't sure which day to book your tickets to Disneyland Paris, you can choose the flexible ticket that's valid for one year.

How does it work? It's very easy! You make your purchase and choose the date you want, and the ticket will be valid for one year from that day. So, a good tip is to book it for the first day you're going to be in Paris to make sure you can use it on the day that suits you best during your trip.

Regardless of which option you choose, you can book tickets for Disneyland Paris with express bus service. The complex is far from the center of Paris (in the Marne-la-Vallée area) and, although you can get there by RER trains :::link|text=by purchasing this ticket package with train transfers:::, you'll save a lot of time with a Disneyland ticket that includes bus transportation and takes you directly to the park entrance.

After the parade, the queues to leave Disney are impressive, and even more so to get on the train. If, in addition to including transportation with your tickets, you are considering investing a little more but having more freedom in terms of schedules and movement, I recommend that you consider purchasing your Disneyland tickets and booking private round-trip transportation to Disneyland. You will be very glad you did.

If you're looking forward to going to Disneyland but are worried that the visit will break your budget, don't worry. We've already seen that there are ways to get cheaper tickets, but if you'll allow me, here's a short list you can follow to make sure your visit to the park is much more affordable while you enjoy yourself to the fullest without worrying about your wallet:

With all the information you need on how to buy the cheapest tickets for Disneyland Paris, it's time to enjoy getting an idea of what you'll find in a park that (I repeat) is not just for kids. At Disney, the main attraction isn't the rides, even though Space Mountain is a pioneer among indoor roller coasters; nor is it the shows, even though the parades are famous around the world; nor even the characters that interact with the children.

At Disney parks, constant innovation and attention to detail are the strong point, and this is something you can see everywhere; that's why adults, who are aware of this, enjoy the visit even more than children. What will you find there?

• Main Street USA: Disneyland is the main park and is dominated by "Main Street USA," a "town" built around a main square from which you can find your way around the park, full of shops, all decorated differently, and with a train stop that takes you around the entire park. Once you've explored Main Street (and it's worth doing, don't think it's just a shopping area), you'll have the four main areas of the park at your disposal.
• Fantasyland: This is the most classic area of Disney and the one with the most attractions for children. Behind Sleeping Beauty's Castle you'll find Beauty and the Beast's teacups, Alice's maze, Peter Pan's flight, Snow White and Pinocchio's stories, Dumbo's flight, and the It's a Small World water carousel with characters from every continent.
• Discoveryland: This area is dedicated to the future and science fiction, and is home to the famous indoor roller coaster Space Mountain (it's truly amazing). You'll also find the Star Wars flight simulator, Buzz Lightyear's lightsaber game, Captain Nemo's ship, the Videopolis theater, and a car highway.
• Frontierland: This is the area set in the world of cowboys and Indians. Here you'll find Big Thunder Mountain, the haunted house (well worth a visit), Pocahontas' village and Woody's rodeo attraction.
• Adventureland: Dedicated to the world of adventure, this area has large green spaces such as the Robinson Crusoe's cabin and the pirate beach. The star attractions are Pirates of the Caribbean (which inspired the movie) and the Indiana Jones roller coaster.

Ana's Travel Tip

Once the night parade is over, the queues for the train are endless. Leave the park a little earlier or hire private transportation to your hotel.

It's logical to think that such a popular attraction around the world receives thousands of visitors every day. Despite extended opening hours, it's a good idea to know some other tips for exploring Disneyland to help you enjoy a perfect day at the park. Here are a few:

Book in advance to get the cheapest tickets to Disneyland Paris

There are huge queues at the ticket offices, so save yourself the hassle and go straight in with your ticket. The best option to save time and money is to buy your tickets to Disneyland Paris in advance. You will receive a code that you can exchange for your ticket at any of the automatic machines at the park entrance (there are many, so you won't have to wait). You will have direct access to the park through the turnstiles at the entrance without having to wait in line at the ticket office.

Disneyland Paris ticket dates and times

Tickets are subject to a time of year, but not to a specific day. You can buy your tickets before your trip to Paris and, once there, decide which day you want to use them based on factors such as the weather. Also, keep in mind that by buying tickets in advance, you can choose ticket types and compare prices, allowing you to save money and get them cheaper.

Once you validate your ticket at the gate of either park, you can enter as many times as you like throughout the day, but keep in mind that the studio park closes earlier than the main park (around 7:00 p.m.), which stays open until after the night parade (approximately 11:00 p.m.). Closing times may vary depending on the time of year, but the park always opens at 9:30 a.m. You can find more information about Disney opening times in the following post.

When to go to Disneyland Paris?

Disneyland Paris is open every day of the year (there may be exceptions announced on their website, but this is not common), but depending on the season you go, you will find different special events. There are periods of the year dedicated to different Disney movies and special celebrations such as Christmas and Halloween.

When planning your visit to Disneyland Paris, keep in mind that it rains a lot in Paris, so it's a good idea to check the weather before your visit. You can visit the park in the rain, but you won't enjoy it as much. It's also a good idea to avoid the hottest days, which also coincide with the high season (summer). As for the days of the week, the same rule applies as for other tourist sites: it's best to avoid weekends and holidays.

Organizing your visit to Disneyland, given its size and everything there is to see and do, is something you'll be glad you did when you arrive at the resort. Take note:

How to get to Disneyland?

The Disney parks are located far from the center of Paris, but you can easily get there by RER (Paris train network). Take line A (red), which is the last stop and is announced at all train stations; it takes about 45 minutes from the center of Paris. Here are all the options for getting there.

The real problem is usually getting back, as you may want to stay for dinner at one of the restaurants outside the park after the parade, and even if you don't, you'll have to rush to catch the train, as they don't run in the early hours of the morning.

I recommend booking private transportation to and from Disneyland in advance, as this will avoid last-minute rushes and crowds when entering the park in the morning. You can also book tickets for Disneyland Paris with an express bus service.

Length of visit to Disneyland

The parks open at 9:30 a.m. Disney Studios closes at 7 p.m. and the main park closes at around 11 p.m. after the night parade. To see both parks properly, you need at least two days, as there are many rides to go on, many shows to see, and many details to enjoy.

It's not worth rushing your visit, but if you have no choice and are only going to be at Disneyland for one day, choose one of the two parks to enjoy it better (although if you have a ticket for both parks, you can go from one to the other without any problem).

Finally, here are some other guides for those lucky enough to have more days to explore the world of Disney in Paris: What to see at Disneyland Paris in 3 days and What to see at Disneyland Paris in 4 days

You already know that there are many attractions to enjoy at Disneyland, and it's not every day that you get to travel to the Disney universe. That's why we've put together these other tips so that young and old alike can get the most out of this magical experience. Be sure to read them before booking your ticket to Disneyland Paris.

Save on meals at Disneyland

The Disney complex is equipped for you to eat at one of its many restaurants, all decorated with different themes. Although there are some restaurants with set menus, the vast majority of food you will find is fast food (pizza, hamburgers, hot dogs) and you cannot bring food from outside the park.

Save on accommodation at Disneyland

If Disneyland is one of your main destinations during your visit to Paris, I recommend staying near the park for convenience. The accommodations belonging to the Disney complex are truly wonderful, but they also tend to be much more expensive. A good option to find the best value for money and save on your stay is to look for accommodation in the Chessy area, which is much cheaper but equally close to the park and has good and fast transportation links.

Disneyland shows

When you enter the park, you will be given the show schedule. Take a few minutes to decide which ones you want to see (if you're not sure which ones you'll like best, ask any member of the Customer Service team) and plan your visit around those times.

If you're going to visit both parks, it's best to go to the studio park first, as it tends to be less crowded in the morning, and queue for the first shows.

Official Disneyland app

With so much to see, organizing your visit to Disneyland Paris can be a bit chaotic. At the entrance, you will be given a map of the park, but when you get to the attractions, you will see that many of them have different passes and sometimes long lines for them. The best tip: download the official park app, where you can see how long the wait is for each attraction and where each one is located at all times. You'll make much better use of your time.

Avoid the queues at Disneyland

At the entrance to some attractions, there is a machine where you can get a fast pass for a specific time. These attractions are marked on the map. Plan your time and, before getting on an attraction, get a "fastpass" for a nearby attraction so that when it's your turn, you can go straight to the front of the line.

Keep in mind that fastpasses also "run out" and there is a certain time when they will no longer be available and you will have to wait in the normal line. Keep this in mind, as well as the distances between the different attractions, to avoid spending the whole day running from one attraction to another.

If your main reason for traveling to Paris is to go to Disneyland, don't miss out on seeing the center of Paris, even if it's just a day trip. If you don't, you'll regret not having set aside at least one day for it. Although you won't be able to appreciate Paris in all its glory, you'll get an idea of the wonders the city has to offer.

If you decide to go to Paris, a very inexpensive option for getting an overview is to book a tourist bus. Here's an article about Paris Hop-On Hop-Off Buses so you can organize your visit. In addition, whether you are traveling with children or not, booking a cruise on the Seine can also be a good option, as they will be entertained while everyone else can relax and enjoy the wonderful views. You can find more information 8 Best Seine River Cruises in the guide I've prepared on the subject.

And finally, to make the most of your visit to Paris, I recommend you consider purchasing the Paris Pass, a tourist card that gives you "flat rate" access to the city's best attractions. Here's the practical guide I've put together on the Paris Pass.
