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.

Went to Disneyland Paris with my wife, and it was such a special moment. A beautiful reminder of childhood magic. Whether you’re going alone, as a couple, with family, or with friends, there’s something for everyone.
There are tons of things to do, but be prepared: some lines are massive, over an hour! For me, the highlight was Star Wars: Hyperspace Mountain. On the other hand, Peter Pan’s Flight had a huge queue but was so short that I questioned if 70 minutes was worth it.
Plan your day carefully! The Disneyland train stops running at 19:00. And if you’re visiting in summer, bring a hat or umbrella..waiting under the sun, especially with kids, can be tough.
End your day with the magical fireworks show. It brought tears of happiness and left us with unforgettable memories. Truly a magical experience!

One of the most mesmerizing and memorable experiences I’ve had while visiting this beautiful theme park was the way it brought my childhood memories to life. The vibrant colors, the enchanting music, and the scent of popcorn wafting through the air instantly transported me back to happier, carefree days. We had an incredible time exploring approximately 70% of the park, delving into various attractions and immersing ourselves in the joyful atmosphere. The lines for the rides were surprisingly manageable, allowing us to maximize our adventure without feeling rushed. Ending the day with a spectacular fireworks show was the cherry on top; the sky was illuminated with bursts of color, perfectly synchronized with a whimsical soundtrack that left everyone in awe. It was a truly unforgettable day filled with laughter, nostalgia, and pure delight.

Our family had a wonderful experience. We enjoyed the park. The rides were great. The characters were great. Princess week 🙌🏽🥰. The Night Show Awesome. 🙌🏽🤯🩷
The Line Were Long. It's was Extremely Crowded. The food was Not Good At All except the fries. But that didn't stop our fun. I would recommend an all day pass so you could leave get food and come back or bring lunch. It's going to be crowded regardless. And if you've never been make sure you watch the night show it's great.

Disneyland Paris is magical and impressive, with unforgettable parades, shows, and the fairytale castle that makes you feel like a kid again. The rides are fun for all ages, the territory is clean, and staff are polite.
At the same time, be ready for big crowds, long lines, and overpriced food that’s not really worth it. Best to plan your day, eat outside, and just focus on the atmosphere.
Overall, it’s worth visiting once for the memories and the magic, as long as you know what to expect.

Disneyland Paris was such a fun break from real life. We used the good old paper map to get around (which honestly made it feel more like an adventure) and I’d highly recommend getting the Premier Access pass it saved us hours of waiting in line.
Hyperspace Mountain was hands down the best ride. Fast, thrilling, and way cooler than I expected. We ate in this super cool setting that felt straight out of the movie. Also… the Disney outlet? Dangerous. We did a lot of shopping, no regrets.
And the final firecrackers show? Absolutely stunning. Lights, music, fireworks it was a whole cinematic moment. Definitely a magical day from start to finish.
