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.

Such a beautiful park! The architecture and landscaping alone makes it worth the visit.
There were not as many food options as I had hoped for but we were still always able to find something good.
Our favorite ride was the hyper space mountain. What an awesome ride!!

Disneyland Paris is magical, but there are a few things you should know before visiting. The park is divided into two sections. I recommend buying your tickets online in advance. If you purchase tickets for just one park and want to see the castle, enjoy more rides, and watch the Princess Parade, make sure to go right after the entrance — that’s the main park. The left side is better suited for younger children with simpler attractions.
Unfortunately, we didn’t realize this beforehand and spent our time in the smaller park on the left.
You’re allowed to bring your own food and drinks, which is great. There are also free water refill stations inside. Before entering the park, be prepared for a security check where your bags will be inspected.
Lines can be very long — even 20 minutes for the less popular rides, and up to 3 hours for the most popular ones. I highly recommend paying extra for skip-the-line access, where available.
There are food stands, ice cream, and coffee inside the park, but the quality is average. You can rent a power bank for a fee, but there are no free charging stations inside the park.
You can reach Disneyland easily from central Paris by RER train — the ride takes about 45 minutes and costs €2.50 one way.

One of the best vibes specially when with kids …super fun! Never miss the parades n fireworks..
Plan in advance as to what sections you want to visit for optimum use of time .. best to stay if visiting two parks .. can even cover both if planned well and start early … overall a joyful and amazing experience!

What a magical and beautiful place this is. As a family, we were blown away. The child in me was in full swing.
The place is spotless and beautifully maintained. The flowers and gardens are so looked after, simply stunning.
There is background music everywhere, which puts you in such an excited and happy mood.
Staff are very well trained, and they have good security, which filters people safely and efficiently on entry.
The parades are truly amazing, once in a lifetime sort of stuff. I will add a few videos for examples, but I don't want to spoil it for you.
There are water fountains dotted all over the park! Water is safe and clean to drink in France, so take your water bottles with you. This will save you a fortune in drinks and stop the kids drinking sugar all day also. Especially if the weather is hot.
Disney Castle is unbelievable, and you can get amazing family selfie photos that you can treasure for a lifetime.
Download the Disneyland Paris app. This will help you locate all rides, ride waiting times, and where the characters are greeting people in the park.
Food and drink is expensive in Disneyland, in my opinion, no more expensive than any other theme park. Save money by taking snacks and drinks for kids. You will, however, be carrying that with you everywhere!
Ride times are what they are, long! Use the app that can help you locate rides with fewer waiting times. Book the shows in advance. We didn't get a chance to see any as the availability goes in a flash. This didn't spoil our Disneyland experience at all.
If you're thinking about going to Disneyland Paris, do it. It's such an amazing place, and your kids will love it and remember the trip forever!
