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 The parades were absolutely fantastic! It was extremely busy and the queues for rides were all well over an hour. The staff were very friendly and helpful. And we were served quickly at every shop we went to, whether for food or gifts. Overall, a wonderful day.

5 Star Rating A wonderful place to visit. Disney magic always works in the parks. There are only two Changing Places for adults, one in each of the parks, both are in the first aid rooms. Plenty of room in each but only the one in Disneyland has a hoist. We had no issues getting around with a large electric wheelchair but the accessible rides struggled with length. The priority system worked and staff and cast couldn't have been any better. The decorations for Halloween were brilliant and number of visitors in costumes added to a great experience.

5 Star Rating The definition of magic.. a place where everything is perfect to the tiniest detail. Every corner as a secret interaction with the guests, like near the shop of Cruella you can hear dog barking in the back in a little shed. Every coaster is perfectly designed like a nice pocket Watch. I highly recommend to use the app to roam around and monitor the timings for the best attractions like Phantom manor or Indiana Jones roller coaster! Second time here and will come back for sure in the Future!

5 Star Rating What a magical experience at Disneyland. Never thought this would be that amazing. Felt nostalgic and recalled childhood memories. Rides are fantastic, themed rides are amazing. The best ride was Thunder Mountain. Worth the wait until late 9pm for the Disney Illumination Sky Parade & fireworks.
