Day Trip to Disneyland Paris
Quick access on the RER makes a day trip to Disneyland Paris easy and fun for the whole family
Disneyland hardly needs an introduction, but one thing is certain, your kids will be real happy if you give them a break from visiting all those Paris museums and take them to Disneyland for a day or two. You'll love it too and it is actually very easy to get there on public transport.
Opened in 1992, Disneyland Paris is the 4th Disneyland Park to open in the world and it is the only one in Europe. In terms of area, it is the second largest behind Disney World in Orlando Florida. This popular attraction is located 32 km from the centre of Paris, primarily in the commune of Chessy. The theme park has been in operation since 1992.
There are no end of fun things to do in Disneyland as I am sure you can imagine. There are two theme parks, seven hotels which are owned by Disney themselves as well as a retail centre. The nice thing with Disneyland is that your pass gives you unlimited access to all of the rides and attractions. You'll only have to pull your wallet out if purchasing food or souveniers.
Disneyland is not just for the young. It features a great number of attractions that will appeal to both young and old alike. In fact, I would dare say that very few attractions would not appeal to the child in all of us.
There are seven hotels located right at Disneyland from which to choose. It is a good idea to book far in advance since accommodation is in great demand. Resort guests are given an exclusive two hours of time in the park before it is opened to the public. If your accommodations are in central Paris you can still easily get to Disneyland for one or more days of fun as the RER provides direct access and will get you there in less than an hour. Just see our "Getting There" section farther down the page for directions. Book in advance and save money on a 2 Park 1 Day Ticket. You'll find the link under the Fee section above.
There are also 59 restaurants within the park's confines and a further eleven at the resort hotels and five more at festival Disney. No alcoholic beverages are served within the park so you won't have to be concerned about inebriated tourists ruining your day.
Aside from all of this, there are the rides and activities that can be found within the park. These should keep even the most hyperactive child (or adult) amused for many hours. You should plan to spend more than one day at the theme park if you want to experience everything they have offer. Begin planning your day trip to Disneyland Paris with the information below.

Disneyland Paris Reviews
Rated out of 5
Spent a day at The Happiest Place On Earth!
I visited on a Sunday, early April. The queues weren't crazy, plenty of rides we could get on within 10 minutes (pirates of the Caribbean, Cars, etc).
The Disneyland app is well worth downloading. Live updates for queue times, the map is very useful too.
Plenty of food options (including several local French cuisines).

Absolutely loved it. I would recommend getting in around 9am and being ready for the day with snacks (lunch if you have room in your bag) and bottles of water which you can fill up at the fountains. Food options are fairly dire but the rides are epic! I loved the crush and tower of terror the most. Go to the far end of the park first thing in the morning and make your way around. If you can afford to buy a fast track pass, I’d suggest doing so before you enter the park!

We spent some great days here. Most of the carousels and attractions are suitable even for 25+ years old. We paid a premium price for a less-than-decent dinner at the Pirates of the Caribbean restaurant. The layout is great, the cocktails were above expectations + the dessert was great, but man, the food had no taste and we felt that it was way overpriced for the effort they put into cooking it. We had a great experience with the Golden Nugget. The menu is simple, the prices are decent and the building looks stunning - you feel you lunch somewhere in The Wild West.
