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![]()
Disneyland Paris is a fun and visually impressive theme park, especially if you enjoy Disney characters, parades, and fairy-tale style attractions. The park is beautifully designed, with Sleeping Beauty Castle being one of the main highlights—it genuinely feels magical, especially at night during the light and fireworks show.
The rides are a mix of family-friendly attractions and a few thrill rides. Big Thunder Mountain, Pirates of the Caribbean, and Hyperspace Mountain are some of the best. Walt Disney Studios Park has improved over the years, but it still feels smaller and less exciting compared to the main Disneyland Park.
One downside is the cost. Tickets, food, and souvenirs are all quite expensive, and long queues can make the experience frustrating, especially during weekends and holidays. Fast passes or Premier Access can help, but they add even more to the budget. Food quality inside the park is average for the price, so it doesn’t always feel worth it.
Another issue is that customer service can be inconsistent. Some staff are wonderful and helpful, while others seem rushed or uninterested, which can affect the experience.
Overall, Disneyland Paris is worth visiting at least once, particularly for families with children or Disney fans. It delivers the magic and atmosphere people expect, but the high prices and crowds can take away from the experience. It’s memorable and enjoyable, but planning ahead is important to get the most out of the trip.

Amazing experience with kids.
Enjoyed different rides specially pirates of carribian which my kids loves the most
well managed internally and has all the necessary services.
I advice to buy the ticket online to avoid long ques and waiting time
You may not cover whole park in one day as waiting time for each ride might be between 20 to 40 minutes depends on crowd.
Try to enter early when it opens up and by 7.00 or 8.00 pm you would be covering most part of it.
Snacks, shopping and games all can be enjoyed

Disneyland Paris was easily the highlight of my trip—I truly felt like a child again! From start to finish, the entire experience was absolutely amazing.
I really enjoyed the rides, but if you’re planning a visit, definitely come prepared with patience. Even though we visited in March—which is generally considered "off-season"—the queues can still get quite long. We found wait times of 1 to 1.5 hours to be quite common, which feels like a decent trade-off for the lower crowd levels compared to the peak summer months. Just be ready to settle in and wait for your favorites.
The parade was a standout moment of the entire visit and honestly breathtaking. Seeing so many iconic characters from across the Disney universe come to life on the floats was pure magic. It felt like every storybook character we grew up with was right there in front of us.
It’s a wonderful escape that brings out the joy in everyone. Just make sure to bring comfortable shoes, download the park app to keep an eye on wait times, and get ready for a truly enchanting day!
