You’re probably wondering how to get organized when visiting Disneyland Paris with a large family? Here are some tips on how to save money when visiting Disneyland Paris with a large family!
Visiting Disneyland Paris with a large family can be an unforgettable adventure, but it requires a great deal of organization to ensure that everything runs smoothly. Here are a few tips to make your experience as magical as possible, from choosing accommodation to saving money on catering and merchandising.
Special rates for large families
Contrary to some expectations, Disneyland Paris does not offer special rates specifically for large families. However, there are rates for groups of more than 20 people, which can be advantageous if your family is large enough to benefit from these discounts.
Choosing the right home
Your choice of accommodation is crucial to a successful visit to Disneyland Paris. If you opt for a hotel, you can choose to stay in a Disney hotel. The advantages are many, including the immersive Disney experience, hotel theming, access to extra magic hours to enjoy the park with fewer crowds, as well as amenities like nearby pools and restaurants. However, this can be more expensive. If you prefer to save on accommodation, you can choose to stay at a Disney partner hotel, which offers free shuttles to the park, albeit located a little further away.
Smart restoration
To simplify your stay, consider booking half or full board when you reserve your hotel. This will save you the hassle of organizing meals. To save on your meal budget, check out the different restaurants and menus on offer, as there’s something for everyone. You may also want to consider eating in Disney Village or in places close to the park, such as the Val d’Europe shopping mall, to lower your bill a little. You can also bring your own picnics and snacks to save on meals and snacks.
Smart merchandising
It’s hard to resist bringing home a souvenir from Disneyland Paris, but souvenirs can quickly put a strain on the budget. Take advantage of the sales periods to come and see us, or take advantage of the current offers available at the checkout to benefit from preferential rates on certain products, provided you reach a certain purchase amount.
