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
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.

Visited for my birthday, fortunately not too busy and good weather. As good quality as all Disney resorts, though if you are after thrills, maybe Walt Disney Studio Park is better? Pick you day/s well in advance, and hope for crowds to be thin. And be a kid - we get enough of adult life on the outside.

This is a good day out for sure. Look online for offers before you go as there are normally some good online deals so you don’t have to pay the extortionate entry fees at the entrance. You can normally get 2 for 1 tickets online which you can then have on your phone to scan in when you enter the park.
To save money it might be worth taking a rucksack with you with some snacks and drinks. There are water fountains through the park that you can refill your water bottles with. Some good rides and it’s nice when the weather is good too. Be prepared for a lot of walking.

Well worth a visit but I recommend buying a premium pass as the queue for rides are up to 80 minutes for the better rides. Very friendly staff and services were well maintained. Plenty of food and drink choice. Only downside was they were doing some work when we were there and some of the park was closed at the Walt Disney studio park. Take snacks as well as can be very expensive buying food. End of the night is spectacular.

Wonderful place to visit with family. I have no words to describe, everything is so wonderfully created. It requires minimum 2 days to visit both the parks.
