Where can I find information on ticket prices?
You can find up-to-date information on ticket prices for Disneyland Paris directly on their official website. The site offers information on different ticket types, including single-day tickets, multi-day tickets, tickets for both parks and annual passes.
It’s important to note that prices can vary according to season, day of the week and visitor age (child, adult, senior). There are often special offers, discounts for early bookings or online purchases, so it’s a good idea to check the site regularly.
Also be sure to check the conditions of each ticket, such as exclusion or use dates, before making your purchase.
How much does a ticket to Disneyland Paris cost and how can I buy one?
Ticket prices for Disneyland Paris can vary depending on a number of factors, including the age of the visitor (child, adult, senior), the number of parks to be visited (Parc Disneyland or Parc Walt Disney Studios or both), and the type of ticket (one-day ticket, multi-day ticket, annual pass).
The price of an adult ticket for one day in one park can start at around 100 euros, while the price of a ticket for both parks can start at around 130 euros. Please note that these prices are indicative and may have changed.
To buy a ticket, you can visit the official Disneyland Paris website and follow the online purchasing process. You can also buy tickets from the ticket offices at the park entrances, but to avoid queues and benefit from any discounts, it’s generally advisable to buy tickets online in advance.
Be sure to check the latest prices and conditions on the official Disneyland Paris website before planning your visit.
What types of tickets are available?
Disneyland Paris offers several types of tickets to meet the different needs and preferences of visitors. Here are some of the ticket types available:
- One-day tickets: These tickets give you access to either Disneyland Park or Walt Disney Studios Park for one day.
Multi-day tickets: These tickets allow you to visit both parks for several days. The number of days can vary, with options generally ranging from two to four days.
Single Park Tickets: These tickets allow you to visit only one of the two Disneyland Paris parks.
Tickets for two parks: These tickets allow you to visit both Disneyland Paris parks.
Annual passes: These give you unlimited or limited access (depending on the type of pass) to both parks for one year. There are several levels of annual pass, each offering different benefits and privileges.
Special Tickets: Disneyland Paris also offers special tickets for events, such as Halloween or Christmas evenings, or annual pass evenings.
Group tickets: Reduced rates are available for groups of 20 or more.
Please note that prices and conditions may vary, so check the latest information on the official Disneyland Paris website before planning your visit.
What's the difference between a one-park ticket and a two-park ticket?
A single-park ticket gives you access to just one Disneyland Paris park, either Disneyland Park or Walt Disney Studios Park, for the day.
A two-park ticket, on the other hand, allows you to visit both Disneyland Park and Walt Disney Studios Park in the same day. You can move freely from one park to the other as many times as you like during opening hours.
Disneyland Park is the original park with Sleeping Beauty Castle, while Walt Disney Studios Park is dedicated to the film and animation industry, with attractions based on popular films and cartoons.
A two-park ticket is generally more expensive than a one-park ticket, but offers greater flexibility and the chance to enjoy a wider range of attractions and shows. However, if your visit is limited in time or if you have a clear preference for one of the parks, a ticket for one park may be a more economical option.
What are the advantages of a DISNEYLAND PASS?
A Disneyland Pass is an annual pass from the new Disneyland Paris range. A Disneyland Pass offers many benefits that can enhance your visiting experience. Specific benefits may vary depending on the type of annual pass you choose, but may include:
- Unlimited access: Annual passes offer unlimited access to Disneyland Parks and Walt Disney Studios for the duration of the pass’s validity. Some passes may have restricted days, so be sure to check details before purchase.
Discounts : Annual pass holders can enjoy discounts on purchases in the parks’ stores and restaurants.
Invitations to special events: Annual pass holders can receive invitations to special events and exclusive evenings throughout the year.
Free parking: Some annual pass levels offer free access to park parking.
All in all, a Disneyland Pass can offer great value, especially for those who plan to visit Disneyland Paris several times a year. However, it’s important to check the conditions and benefits of each type of annual pass to choose the one that best suits your needs. To find out more, please read my article dedicated to annual passes.

Disney Parks
Whether you’re looking for information on opening times, attractions, shows, services or tips to maximize your visit, I’ve put together all the answers to your questions to help you discover the best of what Disneyland Park and Walt Disney Studios Park have to offer.
WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO VISIT DISNEYLAND PARIS?
The best time to visit Disneyland Paris depends on what you’re looking for in your visit. Here are a few points to consider:
- Crowds: To avoid crowds, it may be best to visit the park during the off-peak season, which is generally outside school vacations and public holidays. The months of January to March and September to October are often less crowded. I’ve also prepared a calendar of peak days, available by clicking here.
- Climate: If you prefer warmer weather and don’t mind crowds, summer can be a good time to visit. However, spring and autumn often offer milder weather and fewer crowds.
- Special events: Disneyland Paris organizes several events throughout the year, such as the Halloween Celebration in October and the Christmas Festival in December. If you want to take advantage of these events, plan your visit accordingly.
- Budget: Ticket and hotel rates may vary according to the season. You can often find special offers or discounts during the low season.
Finally, don’t forget that even on busy days, you can still enjoy the park with good planning and by taking advantage of services like Premier Access to reduce your waiting time for attractions.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO VISIT BOTH DISNEY PARKS?
The length of your visit to Disneyland Paris depends on a number of factors, such as the number of attractions you wish to visit, how busy it is on the day of your visit, whether you wish to attend shows or parades, and whether you want to take time to shop or eat in the park’s restaurants.
In general, however, one day in each park (i.e. two days in all) is a good starting point for enjoying the main attractions and shows without rushing. If you only have one day, it’s possible to visit both parks in one day, but you’ll have to make choices and prioritize certain attractions or activities.
If you really want to take your time, explore every nook and cranny of the parks, do all the attractions, enjoy the restaurants and stores, or if you’re visiting during a busy period when waiting times for attractions can be longer, you might consider spending three to four days.
Finally, don’t forget to allow time to rest and simply enjoy the magical atmosphere of the park and hotels. Disneyland Paris is designed to be an experience in itself, not just a series of attractions to tick off a list.
WHAT ARE THE PARK OPENING TIMES?
Disneyland Paris opening times may vary according to season, day of the week and special events. Disneyland Park generally opens around 10:00 am and closes between 8:00 pm and 11:00 pm. Walt Disney Studios Park generally opens at 10:00 and closes earlier, usually between 18:00 and 20:00.
However, it is important to note that these times may vary, and we recommend that you consult the official program on the Disneyland Paris website for the exact times of your visit.
Disneyland Paris also offers “Extra Magic Hours” for residents of Disney Hotels and certain Annual Pass holders. During these hours, certain areas and attractions in the parks open earlier, usually around 8:30 a.m., allowing these visitors to enjoy the parks with fewer people.
Finally, there are often special events and evenings that can extend park opening hours, such as Annual Pass Evenings or themed evenings like Halloween Night. These events usually require a separate ticket to be purchased in advance.
