Planning a trip to Disneyland® Paris and wondering where to stay? It’s one of the most important decisions you’ll make - the right hotel can mean extra time in the parks, a more relaxed morning routine, or a little more money left for the rides. This guide covers everything you need to know about Disneyland® Paris accommodation, so you can book with confidence!
Quick answer - where should I stay for Disneyland® Paris?
Disneyland® Paris has two categories of accommodation: on-site Disney® Hotels (within walking distance of the parks) and off-site area hotels (typically lower-cost, most offering a free shuttle). We offer over 20 options across both categories, bookable as ticket-and-hotel packages.
On-site Disney® Hotels vs off-site area hotels - what’s the difference?
All Disneyland® Paris accommodation falls into one of two categories. Here’s how they compare at a glance:
Disney® Hotels (on-site) | Area Hotels (off-site) | |
|---|---|---|
Distance to parks | Walking distance (most hotels) | 5-20 mins by free shuttle or RER train |
Price point | Mid to premium | Budget to mid-range |
Extra Magic Time* | Included | Not included |
Disney theming | Full Disney theming throughout | Varies - some themed, some standard |
Meal plan options | Breakfast, half-board, full-board | Breakfast sometimes included |
Self-catering option | Available at select hotels | Available at select hotels |
Best for | Maximum Disney magic and convenience | Value, flexibility - great for large groups |
Both options put you close to the magic. It really comes down to budget, how much Disney theming you want surrounding you, and whether early park access matters to your family/group.
What is Extra Magic Time at Disneyland® Paris?
Extra Magic Time gives Disney® Hotel guests access to selected attractions in Disneyland® Park and Disney Adventure World up to 30 minutes before the parks officially open to other guests. For families with little ones, this can make a huge difference - shorter wait-times and a head start on the most popular rides!
Extra Magic Time is only available if you’re staying at an on-site Disney® Hotel. It’s one of the key reasons many families choose to stay on-site, even at a higher price point.
*Access to one or more Disney Parks before official opening time. The time, duration and applicable parks may vary.

Should I choose a hotel or self-catering apartment near Disneyland® Paris?
Reasons to choose a hotel:
- No cooking required. You’re on holiday - let someone else handle the meals! Most hotels offer breakfast on-site, and some include it as part of the room rate.
- Housekeeping is taken care of. Your room is cleaned and tidied for you each day, so there’s one less thing to think about.
- Great for couples and smaller families. If you don’t need a lot of space or a kitchen, a standard hotel room is usually the simpler and more affordable choice.
Reasons to choose self-catering accommodation:
- You can save money on food. Preparing your own breakfasts and evening meals can cut the overall cost of your trip, especially for larger families.
- It works well for fussy eaters and dietary needs. Having your own kitchen means you’re never stuck trying to find something suitable on a restaurant menu.
- More space for bigger groups. Self-catering apartments and villas at places like Staycity Aparthotels and Marriott Village d’Ile-de-France can sleep large groups comfortably in a way a standard hotel room can’t.
- It feels like a home from home. If you prefer a bit more privacy and your own living space after a long day at the parks, self-catering is hard to beat.
Which hotels near Disneyland® Paris have swimming pools?
Several hotels on both sides of the on-site/off-site divide have pools, which are useful for winding down after a big day in the parks:
