Traveling with Eurostar

For a seamless and enjoyable experience, we kindly recommend that you arrive punctually at the station. Once you breeze through our checks, you can unwind in the departure lounge until it's time for your train to be announced. To ensure you have ample time for all pre-departure procedures, please adhere to the recommended arrival time rather than rushing just before the gates close. Rest assured, all border and luggage checks take place before you embark, allowing you the freedom to disembark at your destination with ease.

Navigating Ticket Gates

Upon reaching the ticket gates, a simple scan of the barcode on your paper ticket, provided by your tour manager, is all that's required. Remember to scan each ticket individually to secure your seat and avoid any unexpected changes. If a new ticket is issued upon scanning, it signifies a seat alteration; keep it safe, as it will guide you to your new spot when you board.

Security Precautions

Following ticket gates, a thorough security check is conducted, both for your personal belongings and luggage. Please ensure you adhere to luggage weight restrictions and avoid carrying prohibited items. Whilst there is no weight allowance on the train please do not the weight restrictions for the coach.

Passport Control

Your passport will undergo two checks-first for UK exit procedures and then by the French authorities. If you possess a biometric passport with an electronic chip, consider using the convenient ePassport gates rather than the manual passport control booth.

Eurostar Departure Lounge

Our Eurostar departure lounge is equipped with a range of amenities, making your wait as comfortable as possible:

The Station Pantry offers a selection of snacks and beverages.

A Pret a Manger for a quick, delicious meal.

A tax-free shop for last-minute shopping.

Cash machines with both euros and pounds.

Restrooms with baby-changing facilities.

Complimentary Wi-Fi.

A bureau de change for currency exchange.

A Changing Places facility for added accessibility.

Boarding Information

The platform for your train's departure will be displayed on screens within the departure lounge as boarding time approaches, usually around 20 minutes before the scheduled departure.

Getting to London St Pancras

St. Pancras International is conveniently situated in central London, in the King's Cross area. It is easily accessible via National Rail, Underground, London bus services, and by car. The King's Cross St Pancras Underground station serves several tube lines, including Hammersmith & City, Circle, Metropolitan, Northern, Piccadilly, and Victoria lines, ensuring smooth connectivity to and from the station.

Breakfast will be provided at the hotels. The breakfast is usually in a separate dining area of the hotel and is usually a continental breakfast, which will consist of tea, coffee, bread, cereals, fruit and yoghurt.

Passengers can choose from different diets, including vegetarian, Jain or non-vegetarian (Halal will not always be available) meals. Passengers should advise the tour representative of their preferred diet on day one. The meals are pre-set buffet, and a choice of menu is not available. Meals will be provided with tap water only.

Lunches are not provided on this tour. We highly recommend if you have specific dietary requirements then you should make arrangements to carry your own food for lunch.

Lunches are not provided on this tour.

Not all hotels in this tour will have air-conditioning so you should carry a small portable fan with you especially during the summer months.

Please also note that not all hotels provide a kettle so if hot water is required for warming milk etc. in the hotel then it is advisable to carry a bottle warmer/kettle as well as a thermos flask. Passengers may also want to carry a small travel iron and hairdryer etc., as many hotel rooms may not have these facilities.

Some hotels in Europe, especially France will provide two single beds put together as a Double occupancy room, as this sort of configuration allows the hotel to use a room for multi-use, we do contract with such hotels, and you should be prepared for such eventualities.

If you use services such as the phone or mini-bar or pay TV whilst in your room, you will have to pay the hotel directly when you check out; these services are not included in your tour cost.

The maximum occupancy per room on this tour is 4 person(s).

Other Advisories

Disneyland® paris.

Disneyland Paris can get busy, especially at peak times, so it makes sense to orientate yourself before you arrive by going onto the website and looking at the latest map. There’s a lot to see so you might like to prioritise your must-do attractions to avoid disappointment. But one should try not missing the famous Disney Parades when the much-loved Disney characters take to the streets for a unique and interactive experience. Please note on this tour you will not be staying in Disney until it closes so you will not see the evening firework, Parade or illuminations. Should you wish to do this, then you will need to make your own way back to the Hotel, and you will miss the dinner and transfers for which no compensation will be due.

The resort itself comprises of two parks: The Disneyland Park, packed with rides and attractions, and the Walt Disney Studios Park. Your tickets will allow you access into any one of these parks.

When you arrive at the park, you might like to consider using the Fastpass service, a free service which helps you to cut down on waiting times for some of the attractions (subject to availability and operation).

Pick up and Drop off points & Times

Passengers should arrive at London St Pancras at least 2 hours before the train departure, and check for regular updates.

Schengen Visa Details

Visas & passports.

A passport valid for three months beyond the length of stay and issued within the past 10 years is required by all nationals. Except EU nationals holding a passport or national ID card which is valid for the duration of stay.

If you hold an Indian, Pakistani, or Bangladesh Passport, you will need to obtain Schengen Visa prior to travelling. Many nationalities do not require Schengen visas, such as British, EU and American nationals. Should you need further clarification, please contact us.

Weather in much of Paris tends to be the same as England and is very unpredictable. Regardless of the time of the year, it is advisable to carry an umbrella. Temperatures vary from place to place, and it is a good idea to check online for average temperatures for the destination(s) being visited depending on the time of the year.

Passengers can be well prepared by ensuring they are carrying appropriate clothing, footwear and accessories.

Wheelchairs & Child Seats

We will accept lightweight manual wheelchairs for travel, subject to them being capable of being stowed in the luggage hold of the coach.  It is also essential that a family member is also on tour to push their wheelchair.

In most of Europe, the use of child seats in coaches is mandatory for children under the age of 12 or who are shorter than 150 cm. Children under 7 years old or less than 125 cm tall must use a child seat with a harness or a restraint system. Children between 7 and 12 years old or between 125 and 150 cm tall must use a booster seat or a seat cushion. It is the responsibility of the child's parent or guardian to provide the appropriate child seat for their child.

Those aged between 0 and 4 will not be provided a seat on the Eurostar Train and will be required to sit on Parents Lap.

While day trips are great for many to Disneyland Paris, most people will want to take longer over a few days on a break.

The ( Disneyland Paris official site ) offers some great year round deals to be had on accommodation and ticket passes.

However for some doing it independently is the right choice. You might well want to add on additional sights in Paris if you have a few days. The station at Disneyland also has frequent commuter style trains into Paris. In around an hour you can be at the Louvre or Eiffel Tower .

As well as the official Disneyland hotels most of which are within walking distance of the main entrance gates, there are other less expensive independent Disney themed hotels that have complementary shuttles throughout the day to the train station and Disneyland Paris front gates.

Eurostar only fares & tickets

Eurostar is a reservations only service – you can book up to 4 months in advance. The further ahead that you book, the more likely you’ll be able to pick up the best fare. Non-flexible tickets (i.e. no exchanges or refunds allowed) are cheaper than tickets with fewer restrictions.

Eurostar fares are dynamic, there will be different fares for different schedules on the same day. Fares can be eye watering if you book late or are trying to travel when an event is on at your destination so do try and plan well ahead.

One tip would be to go really early or later in high season as the queues can get really long. I would say really early in the morning or from 2pm, the place closes at 6pm so you would need enough time to look around. Getting there is quite straight forward if you go with public tansport.

How to spend your time at Disneyland Paris – 3-Day Itinerary

So, you’re planning a trip to Disneyland Paris, but not sure how to spend your time there wisely. Well, let me take the stress out of that process and give you some guidance with my Disneyland Paris 3-day itinerary . Do you also need basic help to plan Disneyland Paris for your family? I can help you with that as well.

Going to Disneyland Paris and planning this trip can be daunting for some people. Where do you start? Before we took our son to what was once called Euro Disney, I did a lot of research. From how to plan a trip to Disneyland, to getting from the airport to the park, to which hotel to stay in and more, I investigated it all and learned a lot in the process.

Once we had booked our flights, hotel and transfers my focus went to planning how to ensure we saw and did the best of Disneyland Paris in the time we had.

We were arriving into Paris late on a Monday afternoon and leaving on Friday lunchtime. So, although we had four nights, we only really had 3 days in the park and I wanted to maximise that time, especially as I did not know how many trips to Disneyland Paris we would make in the future, if any at all. If this was going to be our only one, I wanted to make it the best it could be.

I searched high and low for a Disneyland Paris itinerary planner but couldn’t find any. So, I decided to create my own. In this post I’ll help you by sharing our itinerary and how I planned our time there so you can create your own Disneyland itinerary. Although we had 3 days in the park, the plan I outline below can easily be used to create a 2-day Disneyland itinerary if you are short on time.

Day Three – Disneyland Park

Getting to Disneyland Paris

Before you plan your time in the parks you need to know exactly how long you have to maximise it well. Are you taking a day trip to Disneyland Paris from either the city or somewhere close by? Are you planning a trip to Disneyland Paris for a few days? How much time you have to spend in the parks will dictate what you can achieve. Both parks CAN be visited in one day, but you are going to be limited in just how much you can fit in.

Also, are you arriving by car, train or are you staying in one of the Disney hotels? Because this too will dictate how much time you have in the parks.

For the ultimate list of Disneyland Paris tips, read my how to guide here. This includes my full guide to getting to Disneyland Paris by ferry, car and plane, where to stay and other tips and tricks for Disneyland Paris with kids.

Our Disneyland 3-day itinerary – How to spend 3 days in Disneyland Paris

In this section I will detail our itinerary for our family trip to Disneyland Paris and how we spent our time in the Disneyland Park and Disney Studios to give you an idea of what can be achieved during a visit to Disneyland Paris.

Day One – Disneyland Park

Taking advantage of Extra Magic Time as we were staying in the Disneyland Hotel, we arrived into the park for opening at 8.30am and made our way to the entrance of Fantasyland at the Cinderella castle. Once the rope was removed, we made our way to one of the most popular Disneyland Paris rides, Peter Pan, which we had been warned would have huge, lengthy queues later in the day. We enjoyed this and other Fantasyland rides including

• Dumbo the Flying Elephant
• Mad Hatter’s Teacups
• Le Carousel de Lancelot

We then made our way to the Plaza Gardens Restaurant where we enjoyed a characters breakfast at 9.45am, meeting Mickey, Donald and Daisy Duck, Tigger and Piglet.

After a short walk around, we found our spot and watched the Christmas Parade. After this we enjoyed the following rides and meet and greets:

• Pirates of the Caribbean
• Buzz Lightyear’s Laser Blast
• Darth Vader meet and greet

After these, we made our way to the Disney Village and ate in Annette’s Diner. Since we had seen the Christmas parade, we decided not to see the main parade and as a result got a table for 6 very easily. After dinner, we made our way back into the Disney Park to watch the Illuminations fireworks show at 7pm (early as our visit was in December). Following the fireworks, we hung around, browsing shops before getting a picture in front of the castle.

Day Two – Walt Disney Studios

Upon leaving breakfast, we managed a meet and greet with Minnie Mouse in our hotel before making our way to the Walt Disney Studios where we queued for the Goofy Meet and Greet during EMT.

Next was another of the extremely popular rides at Disneyland Paris, Ratatouille. We had been advised to do this during EMT to avoid the queues of over an hour later in the day.

While my husband went to ride the Tower of Terror, I queued with my son for the Buzz Lightyear meet and greet. After this, we met up and went to see the Moteurs Action Show. Then it was time for another meet and greet, this time with Spiderman. And finally, a ride on the Cars Quatro Rally before a late lunch at Bistro Chez Remy.

By the time we finished it was evening and dark, so a bit of shopping in the Disney Village ended our day.

We started our day with another character breakfast in the Plaza Gardens restaurant, this time at 8.15am. After breakfast and meeting some characters, we decided to try and meet Mickey Mouse in his official house. The waiting time was less than an hour which was tiny compared to the 2-hours+ we had seen on the Disneyland Paris app on previous days.

We then took a ride on It’s A Small World and my son and I did another ride on Dumbo while my husband went on the Indiana Jones ride, taking advantage of the single rider policy.

We then meet Baloo and King Louis before enjoying a ride around the Disney Park on the Railroad train. From the train we took another ride on the Pirates of the Caribbean, as requested by our son, before having lunch and a birthday cake in Captain Jack’s restaurant.

Our final show of the visit was to see Mickey and the Magician in the Walt Disney Studios before rounding off our visit to Disneyland Paris with dinner at the California Grill in the Disneyland Hotel.

Although we had an outline of things we wanted to do in the parks, we had to deviate from our plan due to a mix-up with our lunch timings in Bistro Chez Remy and we decided not to see the main Disney parade due to heavy rain. But apart from these, we ticked off most of the things we wanted to see and do.

A 3-day Disneyland Paris Itinerary and Plan

Here is what our Disneyland Paris plan and itinerary looked like after I researched and planned our time in the parks.

• 8-10am: EMT at 8.30am, Castle Picture at rope, rides in Fantasyland and Peter Pan.
• 10am-12pm: Characters breakfast in Plaza Gardens, shopping in Main Street before getting parade spot outside Discoveryland entrance.
• 12-2pm: Christmas parade and lunch.
• 2-4pm: Rides in Discoveryland including Buzz Lightyear, Autopia, Orbitron, Darth Vadar meet and greet.
• 4-6pm: Dinner in Disney Village.
• 6-8pm: Return to Disney Park for Illuminations, shopping and castle picture.
• 8-10am: Meet and greet in hotel, EMT in Studios for Ratatouille ride, any meet and greets and Crush Coaster ride.
• 10am-12pm: Buzz Lightyear meet and greet, Moteurs Action show.
• 12-2pm: Lunch in Bistro Chez Remy, more rides.
• 2-4pm: Cars Quatro Rally, Slinky Dog, RC Racer, Flying Carpets rides.
• 4-6pm: Mickey and the Magician show, shopping and dinner in Disney Village.
• 8-10am: Characters breakfast in Plaza Gardens.

• 12-2pm: Lunch in Captain Jack’s.

Tips for planning your time at Disneyland Paris

To maximise your time in the two different parks, there are some things you can do before you arrive and take into consideration when putting together your plan for the parks. This will ensure you get the most out of your time, and ensure you know exactly what to do and what to see in Disneyland Paris for all the family members.

• You need to list all the things to do in Disneyland Paris that you want to cover. From rides, food, parades, shows, fireworks, character meet and greets, make a full list.
• Now you need to delve deeper into the Disneyland Paris rides everyone wants to do. Make a list and note which area of the park they are in. You can find a list of rides, their areas and more Disneyland Paris attractions on the official Disneyland Paris website . Some of the best rides in Disneyland Paris will have long queues, so find out if they are included in Extra Magic Time (which you will get if staying in one of the Disney hotels).
• If anyone wants to see them, make a note of the Disneyland Paris parade times which are detailed on the official Disneyland Paris schedule which you can find here . This should also give you details of the Disney shows , their location and times.
• If you or any of your kids want to do a character meet and greet , the information of the locations and times of these are also on the official schedule which is updated on a regular basis. Make sure to consult this when putting together your Disneyland Paris itinerary.
• Now it’s time to start planning . I used a simple table to decide our itinerary. I broke it down into 2-hour slots for each day, but you can use 1 hour slots, whatever works for you.
• For Day 1, decide what park you will be visiting and what you want to do including shows, any parades, character meet and greets (making a note of the times they take place) and rides, and whether you’ll be using Extra Magic Time. You also need to factor in dining, especially if you are booked into a specific restaurant.
• Start filling in your schedule for day, allowing 1.5 to 2 hours for dining, especially if you are using table service. Also, aim to arrive 15 minutes before a character meet and greet is due to start to try to get as close to the top of the queue as possible. And allow up to an hour for each meet and greet.
• You will need to allow plenty of time for rides, particularly if you do not have the option of EMT. Download the official app or consult the Disneyland Paris Crowd Calendar to get an idea of live waiting times for rides as these will have to be factored in.
• Once you have filled in day 1, repeat for subsequent days. Ideally allow at least one day per park and then split any additional time between them as you see fit depending on what you and your family want to do in Disneyland Paris.

You should now have an outline of what you will be doing and in which parks for each day of your visit.

FAQ About Planning a Trip to Disneyland Paris

The two Disneyland Paris parks are the Disneyland Park where you will find the castle and the Walt Disney Studios.

If you are staying in any of the Disney Hotels, the Disneyland Paris parks open for Extra Magic Time at 8.30am, which may be included in your park tickets. For general admission, the Disneyland Paris park opening times are 10am. The Disneyland Paris closing time changes depending on what time of the year you are visiting. In winter, when we visited, the Disneyland Park closed at 7pm and the Studios closed at 6pm. But in summer, the parks stay open later with the Disneyland Park staying open until 11pm.

Yes, you can visit the parks for one day and you can see and do most of Disneyland Paris in one day, depending on what you want to do. You might need to either split your time between the parks or choose one. My husband and I visited for one day and visited the Disneyland Park in the morning and the Walt Disney Studios in the afternoon. But trust me, you won’t get everything done.

I hope that I’ve helped you with your Disneyland Paris planning by sharing our own Disneyland Paris itinerary and giving you my hints and tips on how to maximise your time in the two parks. And remember, if you only have 2 days at Disneyland Paris, you can adjust my itinerary or, with my tips, plan your two days to ensure you get the most out of your time there.

Disneyland Paris Trip Planning Guide

Last Updated on May 11, 2022

Disneyland Paris parks are an exciting place, with quite a few hotel options, two parks, and more opportunity than you can fit into one visit. This guide covers what you need to know before heading to Disneyland Paris.

We have been fortunate to live a few hours drive from Disneyland Paris parks for a few years and have visited on four separate occasions.

Here, you will find the most up-to-date information and advice, following our most recent Christmas trip to Disneyland Paris during the 25th Anniversary.

As one of the most popular tourist destinations in Europe, this guide has the hardcore Disney Fans who travel internationally solely for Disneyland Paris in mind as well as for those who are planning a trip to Europe and would like to make it a stop on their tour so to speak. Our goal is to cover everything from dining, to hotels, and all the little in-betweens.

For those traveling a good distance to visit Disneyland Paris, often the biggest question is “When is the best time of year to visit Disneyland Paris?”

Disneyland Paris has seen a big change in customer service delivery in the last few years in part due to the successful Disney buy-out of Euro Disney SCA in 2017. This resulted in Disney assuming full ownership of what had become its most disappointing multi-gate theme park resort.

With the removal of outside investors, Disney is now free to do what they want to boost the park, and with the engagement of Disneyland Paris management, can spend as they see fit. Between our first DLP trip in the summer of 2014 and our Christmas trip in 2017, the atmosphere has changed very quickly and dramatically.

In 2014, on our first visit, we found that the look, feel, and cleanliness was significantly different from Walt Disney World. We chalked it up to “We are in Europe, customer service delivery is just different here”, but to be honest, there seemed to be a bit of a depressing feeling to the Park. Branding in any business is very important, and maintaining a certain uniform standard is generally expected.

Fast Forward to Christmas 2017 with the Disneyland Paris 25th Anniversary celebrations in full swing and the Park has come through a very successful renovation. Furthermore, the park has really stepped up the performances and customer service is more in line with that Disney branded look and feel you see in Florida. Also, the park is spotless and has gained a shimmering beauty.

On the bright side, Disneyland Paris is has grown in leaps and bounds and is still aiming to bring DLP fully in line with its American counterparts with the conclusion of “Project Sparkle”. Some have complained of the lack of announcements for DLP at d23 2017, but as I see it Disney is still integrating DLPs management core into the corporate structure. We hope to see big announcements at D23 2019 for DLP.

Disneyland Paris is the all-encompassing name for the entire resort which consists of the Disney Village shopping and entertainment district, 7 official Disney-themed hotels, several partner hotels (ie. Explorers Hotel), and of course the two parks: Parc Disneyland and Walt Disney Studios Park .

Disneyland Paris is smaller than Walt Disney World and there isn’t as much to do there. For us to travel to Europe from North America just for Disneyland Paris is just not feasible, we feel that combining it with a bigger plan will just increase the magic of the trip. That said DLP is a park that Disney fans could spend days exploring.

Why make the trip to Disneyland Paris if you are in the United States? For Disney fans, this is a non-issue. It is definitely a place to visit for a few days; there is a stunning beauty that is unique to this park. Also, if the opportunity arises a few days in DLP is a great addition to a European Holiday trip. Well, we have visited Walt Disney World on multiple occasions we have yet to visit Disneyland Resort in California.

Should You Visit Disneyland Paris?

Yes, it is a great time to visit Disneyland Paris and has many celebrations and lots of special entertainment lined up with daytime parades, as well as nighttime fireworks spectaculars. With a plethora of stage shows, rejuvenated attractions, and so much more.

We travelled to DLP in late 2017 which gave us the opportunity to see the 25th Anniversary celebrations with the bonus of Christmas and Halloween back-to-back.

The next big thing at DLP may not arrive til beyond 2020. With DLP in long-term planning mode nothing new and substantial is on the horizon. The park is fresh and new again, with long-term plans that involve Marvel. There has been some speculation of a reimagining of Walt Disney Studios Park at some point, we await further announcements from Disney.

With all the recent Disney-Fox merge the future is bright for all the Disney parks. This summer has the arrival of Marvel Super Heroes Summer at DLP from 10 June until 30 September 2018. Not sure I would jump on an overseas flight for that. In our view, a 2018 Disneyland Paris 25th Anniversary, Halloween, Christmas combo would be a better plan for an overseas hop.

(Update: Disneyland Paris: $2.5 Billion Multi-Year Expansion Frozen, Star Wars, and Marvel and Expansion Details Walt Disney Studios Park )

With the resorts 25th anniversary tagline “It’s time to Sparkle” DLP has certainly come a long way since our first visit in 2014 specifically in the maintenance and upkeep department.

If you can pull yourself away from Disneyland Paris the beautiful city of Paris is just next door. We highly recommend spending several days in this top city. We offer extensive travel tips in our France ‘Not Disney’ on our mostly non-Disney blog TappedOutTravellers.com .

How Many Days?

The short answer: As many as you can!

Whether you fly into Charles De Gaulle Airport in Paris or take the Eurostar from London’s Heathrow airport, there is so much to see and do in and around Disneyland Paris. We recommend 3 Days at DLP for Disney fans and for the non-Disney fans, one day will allow you to enjoy Parc Disneyland to its fullest. How much time you spend is a personal question as there are many bucket list places you will want to visit throughout the Paris region such as the Eiffel Tower, and Versaille with its spectacular gardens.

Disney fans will want to explore the Disney Village and the hotels. Disney Village is a weak version of Disney Springs in Walt Disney World and is geared more towards the restaurant fare such as The Rainforest Cafe, and the live-action Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show…with Mickey & Friends! dining show.

La Place de Rémy mini-land is a must-see “Paris street” based on the Disney film Ratatouille. This area has a very popular attraction the trackless dark ride Ratatouille: L’Aventure Totalement Toquée de Rémy that will require a time commitment for the Disney fan, FASTPASS is your friend here and they go quickly. It also has a great gift shop and restaurant called Bistrot Chez Rémy. The most striking part from a rather nerdy perspective is when you cross into this land at a certain point upon entering the land you are surrounded by beautiful music and ambiance, you no longer hear the screams from Toy Soldier Parachute Drop or RC Racer which are only a few meters beyond this mini-land.

Holiday Packages

Planning a Disneyland Paris Holiday is pretty easy compared to Walt Disney World, DLP just isn’t very big compared to the other Disney Parks.

If you have determined how many days to visit DLP great, now you need to decide whether a holiday package is for you. Like the other Disney Parks, DLP offers holiday packages with hotel, park tickets, and meal plans bundled together. These bundles are where you will find the best discounts.

Other options include a few legitimate websites that offer real Disney tickets at discounted prices. Not only can you find discounted ticket prices for various Disney theme parks (for single and multiple days), but you can also find other deals & promotions.

Additional Purchases

There are additional purchases, after hotel reservations and entrance tickets, that need to be considered when planning a trip to Disney Land Paris. Disney Meal Plans will be discussed further down in this guide, but there is also Photopass + purchases and now additional Fast Passes are available.

The Photopass+ option allows guest to collect their on-ride and character meet and greet photos on one digital Photopass ticket. At the end of the vacation, guests are able to purchase the Photopass+ digital package (if they didn’t purchase it during the planning stages) or simply having the photos printed at Disneyland Paris. Which offer you choose depends on how many photos you want, how you want to store them and if you collect the souvenir picture frames.

The recent addition of purchased, and tiered, fastpasses at Disneyland Paris has caused quite a stir lately. While Onsite guests get the added benefit of Unlimited fast passes at a reduced price, as do Annual Passholders, this is another way that guests on a time crunch can maximize their limited time at Disneyland Paris, for a fee.

Getting There

We have been fortunate to have spent several years working in Europe and have driven a few hours to Disneyland Paris. Realistically most of our readers will be flying or sailing! to Europe. That said your best bet for driving to Disneyland Paris we advise Google Maps and a trusty GPS / SatNav.

There are so many ways to travel to Europe. Visiting DLP as part of a bigger adventure is the best and most cost-effective way. That said there are so many options for the budget-conscious or going all out. Picture this traveling from the United States via Cunard’s Queen Mary II Transatlantic Ocean liner, transferring to the Eurostar train out of St. Pancras Station in London direct to Disneyland Paris then use the Disney Express Hotel Check-In Luggage Service.

There are also trains hourly our shorter from Charles De Gaulle Airport in Paris. Some are direct and some take you to downtown Paris where you will have to transfer to another train to get out to DLP.

For info on the metro/RER or ticket prices, please visit ratp.fr (available in English).

Where to Stay

• The second most frequent question we are asked is, where to stay at Disneyland Paris?
• Do we want on-site or off-site?
• Is the price really worth all that extra money?

The short answer Yes .

The long answer Yes .

For some, particularly those traveling from overseas DLP is considered a one time visit for the typical traveler, and more of a tactical matter for Disney Fans. “How can I work DLP into all my trips to Europe?” To the typical traveler, we say – with all the different experiences available at DLP and the 7 Disney-themed hotels each one is designed for a different experience – so if your budget permits multiple trips will offer more exciting discoveries.

From 10 meters to the Gates of the Magic Kingdom or a 15-minute walk, unique breakfast experiences, and unique themed rooms, there is a little something for everyone’s budget and level of fandom.

Ultra-budget hotel Disney’s Davy Crockett Ranch is roughly 20 minutes drive and does not offer a shuttle service, for those really wanting to stretch their Disney dollars. The further away from the park, a hotel is located, the less expensive it becomes, but all feature fewer amenities.

You will find varies service levels within the hotel itself, that offer perks and exclusives, such as included breakfast. Take all of these into consideration and be well informed when you talk to the booking agent about your hotel requirements.

There are also 8 Disneyland Paris Partner Hotels; Vienna House Dream Castle Hotel, Vienna House Magic Circus Hotel, Radisson Blu Hotel, Algonquin’s Explorers Hotel, Kyriad Hotel, Hôtel l’Elysée Val d’Europe, Adagio Marne-la-Vallée Val d’Europe, and B&B Hotel.

Each one offers free access to the Disneyland Paris shuttle service. Most, if not all, have breakfast included options when booking directly with them or with Booking.com.

Guests of Disneyland Paris Partner Hotels do not have access to Early Magic Hours, but most of that time will be used having breakfast and not waking up at the crack of dawn, so is this really a loss?

There also isn’t a way to purchase the Disney Dining Plan without having a Disney hotel reservation, so all meals will need to be purchased out of pocket.

Be sure to check the value of your hotel choice, a prospective Dining Plan option and dining reservations (with menu PDF on hand) when making any final commitments. The right choice will appear in math.

OFF-SITE ACCOMMODATION

There are many Off-site hotel options, below we will add great reviews from the various nearby hotels.

OFF-SITE VS. ON-SITE?

Our Disney plans often centre around a Disney on-site hotel and it isn’t just about the room. Of the Disney hotels, we’ve stayed in at Disneyland Paris they are much nicer overall than the off-site hotels. If you find yourself needing that extra space and cash Val d’Europe hotels may be worth the short commute.

There are a lot of reasons to side with one or another… there has to be, or the option wouldn’t exist. Those strapped into a budget, to maximize Disney-spending, or plan on staying a little longer, off-site is the way to go.

Some would say a hotel is just a place to lay your head, we enjoy the different themed experiences. For those travellers wishing to fully-immerse themselves in the Disney experience, and want to spend maximum hours in the parks, or require frequent access to the hotel, then maybe on-site is for you.

And for the perks which are substantial. Big picture the best ones are walking distance to the parks, Extra Magic hours, as well as Disney meal options such as the Full or Half Board Meal Plans, and our favourite item exclusive character meets. We try to make rope drop for Peter Pans Flight or Ratatouille and get that much prized empty Main Street photo.

For our personal picks, we enjoy Disney’s Hotel Santa Fe (value), Disney’s Newport Bay Club (moderate), or Disneyland Hotel (deluxe). Hotel Santa Fe with its grand Disney-Pixar Cars renovation has a desert-like environment fun for both boys and girls. Newport Bay Club has seen some major renovation as well, being completed from 2013 through 2016. Its theming took me back to our cruise on the Disney Wonder in 2010.

Disney’s Hotel New York is terrible. Its general rundown appearance is not befitting a Disney Hotel. It’s in such disrepair this hotel will be closing for 15 months in 2018, with a conversion to Disney’s Hotel New York – The Art of Marvel. This was announced at the 2017 edition of D23. This is one to avoid for now.

Disney’s Hotel Cheyenne got a makeover this was scheduled for completion at the end of 2017. The rooms have had Toy Story character theming added to them. The awful bunkbeds are gone now as well, replaced with trundle beds.

Disney’s Sequoia Lodge with the lovely Hunter’s Grill and Beaver Creek Tavern and its tree felled surroundings give you that mountain retreat feeling. We love the Bambi and friends theming. The trees are even imported from the West Coast of the United States and Canada.

Disney’s Davy Crockett Ranch is not really our jam but for completeness of this guide, it is a campground outside of the Disneyland Paris’s main resort perimeter. It sits just 15 minutes drive from the theme parks. And gives access to early magic hours. It is the farthest Disney hotel from the parks. We are more Disney bubble type travellers. And the major downside for us is no shuttle service.

Disney’s Hotel Santa Fe received a grand renovation a few years ago with the adding of Disney-Pixar Cars theming throughout. Specific theming includes Luigi, Mater, McQueen, and Sally. Like all the Disney hotels in Disneyland Paris, this hotel has seen rapid improvement in just a few years.

Finally, Disneyland Hotel is magical and its location is basically touching the Magic Kingdom. Our hotel room was 250 meters from the park entrance. During our stay, we noticed some areas could certainly use a sprucing up. For us staying at the Disneyland Hotel was a bit of an “emergency” everything else was booked. This hotel we would only recommend to those where money is no issue. For the majority, Disney’s Newport Bay Club is best (our top pick for value & quality) or Disney’s Hotel Santa Fe.

Are you looking at booking a Disneyland Paris holiday package, we will go through the various meal plans the on-site hotels offer. There are several dining options available at Disneyland Paris. Counter service, table service, character dining, buffet, and Dining show.

Each of these options has their own price point, theme, reservation policy and target audience in mind. Here, we will review the options and help you pick the right dining choices for your next Disneyland Paris vacation.

Counter S ervice

Akin to fast food, is just what it sounds like. Long lines, select menu options and high turn around. This is a great option when guests want to stick to a budget and a timetable. When touring hours are short and the family isn’t interested in sitting for 2+ hours in a restaurant, counter service is for you.

Click here to check out the counter-service restaurant options. Click the names and you will find a view menu option. Here you will find that most menus start at 10euro. There is a children’s menu but we have found the kids prefer to have slightly larger meals, or just aren’t interested in chicken burgers with a side salad (I don’t blame them). Finding a table, and enough chairs, to fit your whole family can be a little bit of a waiting game.

Pushchairs are also not allowed in the restaurant itself unless the child is sleeping. There is seating outside, so don’t be distraught if they still refuse to allow a sleeping baby into the restaurant; the hall is can be very crowded and space is at a premium. Also, Walt Disney Studio Counter Service restaurants have larger interiors than Disneyland Park. There are a number of counter service restaurants in Disney Village, like Earl Of Sandwich, McDonalds and Star Bucks.

Table S ervice

Restaurants are just another fancy name for sitting down and enjoying your meal . There are 18 table service restaurants between the two parks and Disney Village, click here to view their locations, menus and price points.

Each restaurant offers a different theme; from Traditional French Dining at Bistrot Chez Remy, to an American diner-style menu at Café des Cascadeurs (we’ve been here with the kids. It was amazing.) Reservations are usually required to get a table, but they will allow walk-ins from time to time. If you can’t decide beforehand, try checking in during the early morning and ask for any available time slot in the evening; there are always last-minute cancellations.

Character Dining

There are 3 character dining options at Disneyland Paris ; Inventions at the Disneyland Paris Hotel, Auberge de Cendrillon and Plazza Gardens in Disneyland Park. You must get a reservation and most tend to fill up shortly after the 60-day reservation mark. They are very popular and equally as expensive. At Inventions , the characters can range from secondary characters like Cinderella’s mice, and the Cat from Pinocchio, primary characters like Mickey, Pluto and friends, and as well as more obscure characters that the everyday Disney fan may not be aware of. They are not able to confirm which characters will be at which sitting so it really is a gamble, but the buffet is incredible. Auberge de Cendrillon is a princess dining experience.

During the 2 hour meal, which I would describe as fine dining, a number of princesses (and a few of her companions) will visit each table to take pictures and sign autographs.

There is a Princess dance in the middle of the hall at various times of the day, it is really hard to pinpoint the optimum time of day to visit. We like this restaurant because we can meet more princesses in the same amount of time that we would have waited in line at the Princess Pavillion, and we had a great meal in the process.

Don’t worry, the kid’s menu does sounds “fancy” but there are enough options that even the pickiest eater should be able to find something they like. To be sure, check the menu out before making reservations. Lastly, Plaza Gardens recently replaced Cafe Mickey’s as the Character breakfast restaurant. There are rumours that they will be moving back shortly but until the move is actually confirmed, we will continue to refer to Plaza Gardens.

This is where you will find Mickey, Minnie, Pluto, and all the other primary characters you came to Disneyland Paris to meet. They also rotate which characters are available each day (in case you wanted to each here every morning, because the food really was that great), Winnie the Pooh and friends have been known to make an appearance, same with Scrooge McDuck.

Buffet Style Character Dining

There are 11 buffet options throughout the parks, two of whom are also Character Dining. From here, you only pay a flat fee based on age and the under-3’s eat free. Unfortunately, it doesn’t matter if someone isn’t all that hungry or is a picky eater.

At buffet restaurants, they assume all sitting guests are eating guests. Again, their style of food is considered to be International and should have at least a little something for kids to munch on.

Lastly, Disneyland Paris offers one Dining show Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show…with Mickey & Friends! During the course of 1.5 hours, you will be fed and entertained. Hosted by the legendary Buffalo Bill, famous faces, such as Chief Sitting Bull, Annie Oakley, and the Rough Riders, re-enact fabled moments from the frontier through shootouts and stunts.

Plus there are special appearances by Mickey and friends. Ticket sell fairly quickly and therefore we strongly recommend purchasing once your dates have been decided. Children under 3 do not require a ticket, but they also will not receive a seat of their own. We tried this option once with our 2 years old and it was not optimal.

The next time we attended the show, we purchased a seat for our then 18month old and we do not regret it. There are no meal options; standard chicken and ribs with potatoes and chilli. There is a vegetarian option, which needs to be mentioned in advance, and the children have a slight variation of the same thing. They are also given ice lollies (popsicles) instead of warm apple pie.

Breakfast Options

Having listed all the lunch and dinner options, let’s turn out attention to the most important meal of the day; breakfast. We have already mentioned Plaza Gardens as an option but what about the others. There is a buffet option available in the hotels; Disney-themed hotels no longer have breakfast included in their packages, and some off-site hotels may require an additional fee.

There is the option of paying out of pocket or using the Disney Dining Plan to make this purchase a little easier to bare (only available for on-site guests). From here, the most popular options are Cafe Hyperion in Disneyland Park and Restaurant en Coulisse in Walt Disney Studios.

These two options have been known to get fairly busy, fairly quickly, and stay that way. Eating here, however, requires guests to wait until the parks open for EMH (not an optimum option for off-site guests that don’t have access to Early Magic Hours).

We, therefore, suggest at least purchasing the half board dining plan, which includes breakfast in the hotel and one quick service meal per day, per ticketed guest (with the cost of the plan often being less than the out of the pocket price for the hotel breakfast on its own). For off-site guests, we suggest purchasing the hotel breakfast as well and arriving shortly after the doors open. Maximizing your breakfast time and arriving at the park gates for rope drop.

WHAT TO PACK

To give you a baseline, our How to Pack the Perfect Disney Park Bag Ever! will prepare you for any of the Disney Parks. For Paris and Europe, in general, you may need a voltage converter, and you will definitely need a travel adapter. There are many ways to charge your devices; we recommend the BESTEK Universal Travel Adapter. It is a combination voltage converter, USB charger, and travel tip adapter, all in one. This unit is amazing and they are very pack friendly.

If you haven’t heard of packing cubes it’s time to start we strongly recommend them. Instead of throwing everything into the suitcase, and rummaging through it at the hotel, looking for the specific top or lost pair of socks, packing cubes are the perfect way to organize your luggage and find everything quickly.

How you choose to organize your luggage is a personal choice, we have found color coding for family members has great advantages; green for dad, red for mum, purple for sister, and brother likes blue. This takes the chore out of unpacking.

Mum would prefer to have her shirts in one cube and trousers/pants in another, and the kids have there very own cubes. Best of all the children won’t be able to make a mess of all the folding. For the carry-on traveler , compression bags might be the way to go, great for train travel in Europe and for small luggage, remember if you bring a lot of clothes and compress them it’s still gonna be heavy.

Packing for Disneyland Paris in winter can be a challenge, Paris has legit winters (it even snows). For periods from October to March there are definitely minus temperatures so pack for cooler weather. Have a look at our Disney Winter Guide you will definitely want warm clothes for several days.

Your Disneyland Paris adventure will include lots of walking, and trains, excess luggage could still the magic so go light. You don’t need that cocktail dress when you can’t find a sitter for the children, and you most definitely don’t need to pack their entire toy room just to keep them entertained in the queues. We believe in “a pair and a spare”. Have your designated Disney touring footwear , and a spare in case they get wet, broken or lost (it happens to the best of us).

Visiting for 5 days, have 6 pairs of everything – not 20. Pack outfits, not options, and if you are staying on vacation after Disneyland Paris, find a laundromat and wash those 6 pairs, no need to pack more.

Hotels offer complimentary shampoos and soaps, there is a hairdryer in the bathroom and the kids don’t need excessive amounts of distractions; “count the tiles on the ground as we walk closer to the entrance” is a very real game and has been played numerous times (in a single day).

Rick Steves recommends a lot of space-saving tips and tricks for travelers, though some suggestions are more space-saving than money saving. For example, Mr. Steves would say to purchase most of your consumables at the destination if you plan on using them up before heading back.

This is great because you don’t need to worry about luggage allowance for a pack of diapers, or could have put something more important in your suitcase than a week’s worth of snacks. There are grocery stores in France that you can simply purchase these items from once you have arrived. Why is this less budget-friendly?

Many of these tourist destinations hike their prices because they know tourists will need the luggage space of other items, or they have unexpectedly run out of their consumables early. While the prices may be higher than you are used to, think of the luggage allowance money saved and the time/effort saved not having to visit the luggage carousel. You would be surprised which option leaves you with more money in your pocket.

There is something to be said for minimalism once in a while. There is a great selection of Disney suitcases and carry-on bags online, to bring empty, that will be cheaper than being stuck buying an overpriced extra carry-on while on holiday. Consider these things when making your airline purchase, luggage overage fees are often higher than the fees for mailing your souvenirs through in the post.

Need a Europe guide for the not Disney part of your trip? We suggest a dedicated guide for Europe such as Rick Steves Best of Europe containing valuable advise for your travels in Europe.

Coach trips to Disneyland® Paris including hopper ticket and hotel

Language: French Currency:  Euro Time Zone: GMT +1 hour Tipping: You will always find a 15% service charge added to your bill in cafes and restaurants. This is included in advertised prices so there is no surprise when you come to pay your bill. This is not the same as a tip for good service and is appreciated by the staff.

For anyone who has never been to Disneyland® Paris before, the resort is open all year round and provides a huge variety of attractions to suit the whole family:

Disneyland® Park Four amazing lands can be discovered when you visit Disneyland Park. Fairytales really do exist in Fantasyland . Transport back in time to the Wild West in Frontierland . Travel from Africa to Asia, the South Pacific and Caribbean in Adventureland . It's all about the wonders of space and science in Discoveryland . Main Street USA will take you back to 1900s America.

Walt Disney Studios Park Celebrating all things related to cinema, television and entertainment. Take a look behind the scenes in The Production Courtyard . Learn the tricks of the trade in The Animation Courtyard . Experience special effects in the Backlot and be transported back to 1930s movie-making in the Front Lot .

Disney Village This is located between Disneyland Park, Walt Disney Studios Park and the onsite Disney Hotels. Further attractions can be found here including a cinema, IMAX, theatres, golf courses, restaurants, bars and so much more. You can buy souvenirs in one of the 40 unique shops here and remember to use the free shopping service where you can shop early in the day and pick up your goods after 6pm. Lake Disney should be visited too where you can ride pedalos, rowing boats and canoes in the summer.

You can treat the family to memorable experiences such as Character Breakfasts where the Disney characters will meet and greet the children, pose for photographs and give that all important autograph. There's a host of other special seasoned events such as Mickey's Bonfire and Firework Spectacular , Hallowe'en and of course, Christmas and New Year celebrations. Bear in mind that as France experiences similar weather to the UK, it can get quite cold if you're visiting the Parks during winter as the majority of the Disneyland® Paris rides are outside.

As with all holiday resorts, Disneyland Paris experiences a high and low season with Christmas being extremely popular with families. Weekends tend to be the busiest and prices can be more expensive compared to visiting the resort during midweek. However, with that being said, there are usually some great special offers on coach trips to Disneyland Paris where KIDS GO FREE .

If you're on a budget, but wish to stay in an onsite hotel, Disney's Santa Fe should tick all the boxes as it is basic but clean and has everything you could need during your stay. Please note that this hotel is the furthest from the park but it will only take a 15 minute walk along the river to get there. Unfortunately, this hotel does not have a pool but there could be an option on some tour packages to stay at Sequoia Lodge which does have swimming facilities. There is a bonus for choosing to stay in an onsite hotel as you will get 'Extra Magic Hours' which allows hotel guests to enter the Disneyland Park a couple of hours before the gates are open to the general public. However, not all of the rides and attractions will be open during ' Magic Hours ' so best to check first.

Disneyland Paris Resort caters for all tastes especially when it comes to food with a variety of restaurants to choose from, including fast food, pizza, all-you-can-eat buffets, table-service restaurants, ice-cream parlours, steakhouses and of course, McDonalds. It's best to time when you are going to eat as during peak times the catering facilities can fill up quite quickly. There are lots of water fountains located around the Disney Parks should any of you become thirsty, perhaps take an empty bottle and fill up? You're allowed to take your own picnics and there is a special area for them which can be found to the side entrance walkway from the main car park.

As with all major theme parks, Disneyland® Paris does get quite busy especially during peak times so you should plan in advance the attractions you wish to see and the rides you desperately want to go on. Some of the attractions that should feature high on your list should be:

It's A Small World – perfect for little ones Dumbo the Flying Elephant – perfect for little ones Pirates of the Caribbean – perfect for the whole family Big Thunder Mountain – perfect for older members of the family Mad Hatter's Tea Cups – perfect for the whole family Star Wars Hyperspace Mountain – perfect for older members of the family

More information about Coach trips to Disneyland Paris?

Here are some things to know before you go on  coach trips to Disneyland Paris :

Fastpass Service Disabled Access Entrance Getting the Little Ones Around Disney Parades The Weather Meet and Greets Visiting at Christmas Fancy a Brew? Security Prohibited Items Queue Lines Ride Restrictions Filming and Photography

Fastpass Service When you arrive at either of the Disneyland Paris Parks, consider using the Fastpass service. This is a free service that helps you cut down on attraction waiting times. You will be allocated a time to go on the ride and when you come back, you can board the ride in a matter of minutes instead of queuing.

Disney PhotoPass+ Make sure those holiday moments last a lifetime. The Disney PhotoPass+ TM  allows you to acquire a digital album of all your photos taken during your break to Disneyland Paris, including those taken on rides or by Disney's own Photographers. Capture even more memories!

Disabled Access Entrance If anyone in your party is disabled, ask about an Easy Access Card on arrival at the Park. This allows you to get into certain rides and attractions via the Disabled Access Entrance. You can hire wheelchairs at the resort but these are issued on a first come, first served basis. If you can, bring your own collapsible wheelchair.

Getting the Little Ones Around  If you're travelling with little ones, take a pushchair or perhaps hire one at the Park. Disneyland Paris is huge and it's surprising how many miles you will walk in a day. It's worth noting though that the buggies available to hire in either of the Parks can be bulky and do not recline.

Disney Parades  The Disney Parades are one of the major highlights and are of course the most popular attraction at the resort. Allow plenty of time to find a good spot so your family can see the Characters and Floats on display.

The Weather The majority of the rides and attractions at Disneyland Paris are undercover but you should take a lightweight waterproof or a poncho just in case the weather decides to turn. If you are travelling in the summer months, you should take some sun cream.

Meet and Greets The 'Character Breakfasts' can be quite busy so if you'd rather experience a gentler 'Meet and Greet', some of the Disney Characters will be in the hotel lobby if you are staying onsite.

Visiting at Christmas Visiting Disneyland Paris at Christmas time is a truly magical experience. The decorations are put up and fake snow is scattered across the Park in the early part of December. Please note it does get busy during the festive season so consider visiting the Park earlier in the year.

Fancy a brew?  Not all rooms at the onsite Disney hotels will have tea or coffee-making facilities. Should you wish to have a hot drink, take a travel kettle or you can hire one from the hotel reception, you will need to pay a deposit though.

Entering The Park:

Security All visitors who go on coach trips to Disneyland Paris will have to pass through a baggage security checkpoint. A member of security personnel will want to take a quick look inside your belongings so please have your bags ready. On some dates there will be an x-ray machine in operation.

To help you have an enjoyable holiday in France, take a look at these useful tips and advice provided by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO):

Health and Travel Insurance Local Laws and Customs Entry Requirements Tourist Office

Health and Travel Insurance When visiting France you should always ensure you have a free  UK Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC)  before travelling. The GHIC isn't a substitute for travel and medical insurance, however it does entitle you to state-provided medical treatment should it become necessary during your trip. Any treatment is on the same terms as the French nationals. You should always make sure you have adequate travel insurance in addition to the GHIC and also access to funds which can cover the cost of any medical treatments and also repatriation.

Local Laws and Customs You must be able to prove your identity either by providing documents when asked or within 4 hours at a police station. Identity documents can be a passport, a photo driving licence or other documentation provided by a government body.

In France concealing your face in public places is illegal, which includes full veils, balaclavas or any other mask or garment that conceals the face. Failure to comply with this ban can incur a maximum fine of €150. The law doesn't provide any exemption for tourists and visitors.

Entry Requirements

If you are planning to visit France, you must meet the following passport requirements.

Your passport must be: - Issued less than 10 years before the date you enter the country (check the ‘date of issue’) - Valid for at least 3 months after the day you plan to leave (check the ‘expiry date’)

Please note: If your passport was issued before 1 October 2018, extra months may have been added to its expiry date. These extra months do not count towards your passport validity.

Visas You can travel to France for up to 90 days in any 180-day period without a visa. Please note that any previous visits you have made to the Schengen countries within the last 180 days will count towards your 90-day limit.

Passport stamping Your passport will be stamped if you enter or exit the Schengen area through France as a visitor. These passport stamps are used to check you’re complying with the 90-day visa-free limit in the Schengen area.

Any other nationality looking to visit France must contact the local embassy to check visa requirements.
