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 4.5 out of 5 Star Rating

5 Star Rating Disneyland Paris was an absolutely magical experience from start to finish! The park is beautifully maintained, with stunning decorations and incredible attention to detail. The rides were exciting, the shows were spectacular, and there was something fun for every age. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help, making the visit even more enjoyable. Meeting the Disney characters was a highlight, and the atmosphere throughout the park was full of joy and excitement. The food options were varied, and everything was well organized despite the crowds. Every moment felt special, and it truly lived up to the Disney magic. I highly recommend Disneyland Paris to families, couples, and Disney fans alike. It's a place where unforgettable memories are made, and I can't wait to visit again!

5 Star Rating We visited Disneyland as a family — me, my husband, and our 11-year-old son — and had an absolutely wonderful experience. It truly felt like stepping into a fairytale world. From the very first moments, the park immerses you in a magical atmosphere: colorful decorations, music, Disney characters everywhere, and perfectly designed areas that make you feel like you’ve entered another reality. Our son was especially excited and completely thrilled by the rides and meeting his favorite characters. There is a great variety of attractions for all ages — from calm, family-friendly rides to more thrilling roller coasters for those who enjoy adrenaline. We managed to balance everything so that it was enjoyable both for our child and for us as adults. The parades and shows were a real highlight — vibrant costumes, beautiful music, and an unforgettable atmosphere. Even as adults, we found ourselves just as amazed as the children watching everything unfold. Queues can be quite long at popular attractions, but everything is well organized, and the waiting doesn’t feel too exhausting because there is always something interesting to see around you. Overall, it was a fantastic family trip full of joy and unforgettable memories. We left tired but very happy, already wanting to come back someday. We visited Disneyland Paris, and it truly lives up to its reputation as a magical place for both children and adults.

4 Star Rating 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

5 Star Rating We had a short 2 day break in Paris Disney and could only visit on Friday and Saturday . We expected large crowds ........ and large queues for the rides so we decided to purchase the Disney ultimate pass to allow us to fast track lots of rides to save us time. With this pass you can fast track each attraction once. We did consider the price for this extra pass as it was expensive , I think an extra 420 euros for the both of us. But the pass saved us so much time and queuing in the hot sun, that we decided to purchase another pass for the Saturday as well. Weighing up the cost of the pass versus the convenience to fast track on numerous rides , it was well worth paying the extra . Its just a shame that Disney charges so much extra for this pass when its on top of your normal park entry tickets!!! However, now that we have done it I would recommend this pass as it saves so much time spent queuing and I would purchase it again should we visit again. Finally, everything about both parks is amazing, they are spotlessly clean fantastically well maintained with very friendly cast members who were mainly helpful with our queries. If I could suggest one improvement to Disney , I would ask them to make the phone app easier to use with extra icons to show ALL of the show times, parades , and evening light show times for each park. We were given 3 different start times for the evening light show in the main park by cast members . We started queuing for the evening light show at 10 pm as we were told it would start at 10.15 pm but the show didn't start until 10.50 pm !!!! After being in the park since 9.30 am and on our feet all day , standing around for such a long time for the show to start was very tiring. Also, other cast members told us that the Saturday evening parade would start at 5pm from It's a Small World, so we found a nice spot there and started queuing from about 4.40 pm. When 5 pm came and went and there was no sign of a parade I searched out another cast member who then informed us that the parade was taking place on main street ...... so we had to hastily walk over to there. Hence my reason earlier for suggesting to Disney to CLEARLY post on the app for both parks , all of the start times and locations. BUT , BOTTOM LINE WAS, WE HAD A FABULOUS 2 DAYS AND HOPEFULLY WE WILL VISIT AGAIN IN THE FUTURE.

5 Star Rating We visited Disneyland Park in July 2026 as a family. The park is beautiful, with outstanding landscaping and countless picturesque spots for taking memorable photos. The attractions are diverse and suitable for all age groups, so everyone in the family was able to find rides they enjoyed. The restaurants, snack stands, and refreshment kiosks are everywhere, making it very convenient throughout the day. The park is also exceptionally clean and well maintained. One feature we appreciated was the option to purchase Priority Access for selected attractions with long waiting times. We used it for a few of the most popular rides, and it was definitely worth it, saving us a significant amount of time. The only aspect that was disappointing was the entertainment. We expected Disney-quality live shows and frequent performances throughout the day, but we only came across one very short parade that lasted around two minutes. We didn’t see any other performances afterward. We also expected to see Disney characters interacting with children throughout the park, but they were largely absent during our visit. Their presence would have added much more magic and atmosphere to the experience. Overall, we had a good time and enjoyed our visit. The park itself is beautiful and worth experiencing, but it felt like it was missing some of the magic that Disney is famous for. We would happily return if we knew there would be more live entertainment, character appearances, and a livelier atmosphere.
