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![]()
A wonderful theme park with a lot of fun rides, all in Disney theme. We visited both parks and found a weekend 2-3 days to be enough. Coming by car is very doable. They have a large car park. The price for stay + tickets is quite high as expected… but that’s the trade-off you have to make in order to visit a park like this.
My biggest downside during my visit is the food. I found it to be very low quality and not fresh. Disneyland Paris can really improve on the food quality and offer more options for special/fun snacks.
For a large, international park like this I would also expect them to be more inclusive to all visitors. I missed halal options (without prior order) in the restaurants. Also no dedicated quiet room for people to pray, which other theme parks like Efteling do have. Hopefully they can improve this in the future

Visiting Disneyland Paris truly feels like stepping into a different universe. From the moment you enter, you’re surrounded by pastel streets, charming architecture, and the fairytale beauty of Sleeping Beauty Castle at the heart of the park. Every building looks picture-perfect, and the entire place feels thoughtfully designed and beautifully maintained.
The park is highly character-driven — from themed decorations and background music to the vibrant pre-planned shows and parades. The performances are lively, colourful, and well-produced, making you feel like you’re inside a Disney movie.
On average, we waited about 30 minutes per ride, which felt reasonable given how popular the park is. Wait times can vary, but overall it was manageable.
Food is easy to find, with plenty of restaurants, cafés, and snack kiosks across the park, so you won’t struggle to grab a quick bite.
One slight disappointment was that we hoped to see Disney characters roaming freely around the streets, but we only saw them during scheduled shows and planned meet-and-greets. If meeting them is important, it’s best to check the timings in advance.
Overall, Disneyland Paris is more than just a theme park — it’s an immersive escape filled with magic, colour, and joy. It truly feels like a different world altogether.

I recommend! We went in January, on the 22nd, for my daughter's birthday. We really enjoyed it, both she and us adults. Although we thought it was off-season, there were a lot of people, and the longest queue was about 45 minutes. We also caught the parade with cartoon characters, very animated. And the fireworks show at the end was amazing, breathtaking.

Disneyland Paris is absolutely magical! ✨
From the moment you enter, you feel like you’re inside a real-life fairy tale. The rides are fun for all ages, the shows are amazing, and the atmosphere is full of joy and excitement. The staff are friendly and helpful, and the park is very clean and well organized.
Whether you’re visiting with family, friends, or even solo, it’s an unforgettable experience. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Paris! 🎢🏰
