Before you embark on your trip to Disneyland® Paris, a bit of pre-planning is needed to ensure you have the most unforgettable holiday. Buying your park tickets and booking your hotel are some of the first things to tick off your list. Then, it’s time to get your suitcases ready!

Disneyland® Paris hotels

One of the most important elements of your holiday is where to stay when you visit Disneyland® Paris. You can choose from on-site Disney® Hotels, which are operated by Disney, and Disneyland® Paris Area Hotels, which are close by but are owned by different companies (also referred to as ‘off-site hotels’).

Staying at one of the Disney Hotels gives you access to some fantastic benefits, including early entrance to the theme parks1, Disney theming, and Disney Character meetings. If you go for a Disneyland Paris Area Hotel instead, you might benefit from a lower-cost stay.

There’s a lot of choice, with over 20 accommodation options and with so many options, it can be difficult to choose. We’ve put together this guide to Disneyland® Paris hotels <ADD LINK HERE WHEN LIVE> to help you decide.

Our Recommendations

Disneyland® Paris tickets

We recommend buying your Disneyland® Paris tickets in advance of your visit. Buying before your visit can save you time, as you don’t need to go to the ticket office at the parks. You’ll also get the best deals when you book before you travel.

At AttractionTickets.com, we offer a range of Disneyland® Paris tickets:

Hopper tickets allow you to move between the two parks as you like. One-park tickets mean you can only visit one of the theme parks. You can also choose between dated tickets for a specific date or open tickets if you want to keep your plans flexible. Our tickets with transport include transfers to and from Paris. 

What to pack for your Disneyland® Paris holiday

Now you’ve booked your hotel and bought your park tickets, it’s time to get packing! Here are a few things that we recommend you bring with you:

• Trainers or good walking shoes
• Sun cream and sun hat (for summer)
• Hat, gloves, and scarf (for winter)
• Waterproof coat and umbrella
• Reusable water bottle
• Solar power bank

The weather in Paris is similar to that in the UK, following the seasons. The summers can be hot but there can be rain, and it can be very cold during the winter months, so dress accordingly.

There are lots of shops at Disneyland® Paris, so if you’re planning on buying some souvenirs to take back with you, we recommend leaving some space in your case to squeeze these in. This is one of the best reasons to travel to Disneyland® Paris by Eurostar, as you won’t have to worry about any weight limits for your case on the journey home!

This section of the guide will give you an idea of what to expect when you arrive at Disneyland® Paris and some top tips for making the most of your holiday.

Disneyland® Paris dining

There are lots of incredible dining options to choose from at Disneyland® Paris, with over 70 restaurants available throughout the resort. They are split into the following categories:

• Quick service: Similar to a fast food restaurant, you place your order at the counter, are given your tray of food, and you find a table to eat it at
• Table service: A restaurant experience. You’ll be greeted by a server and seated at a table. They’ll bring your menu, take your order, and bring your food and drinks. This can also include buffet restaurants. These are popular so we recommend booking in advance. You can book up to two months before your stay or as soon as you book your hotel if you’re staying in a Disney Hotel
• Character Dining: A sit-down meal where Disney Characters meet you at your table

Disney Meal Plans

A Disney Meal Plan is a great value way to eat during your holiday if you’re staying at a Disneyland Paris hotel. It gives you access to over 30 selected restaurants throughout the resort. The number of meal plan vouchers you will have is based on the number of nights of your stay.
