Getting to Disneyland Paris

Disneyland Paris is located in Chessy, about 32 km (20 miles) east of Paris. It’s easily accessible from Paris by RER A train, which takes around 40 minutes. Trains run frequently, providing a straightforward and affordable travel option for tourists. Cabs are also available, though they can be more expensive. If you’re staying at one of Disneyland’s six hotels or partner hotels, shuttle buses offer convenient transportation to the park entrances.

Planning Your Visit

To make the most of your Disneyland Paris experience, plan your trip during off-peak periods, ideally midweek and outside of school holidays, as weekends and peak seasons can be crowded. Purchasing tickets in advance is highly recommended since buying tickets on-site can be costly and availability may be limited. The Disneyland Paris app allows you to check wait times and show schedules in real-time, making it easier to navigate the park efficiently.

For an even more comprehensive experience, consider booking a two-day ticket to access both Disneyland Park and Walt Disney Studios Park, allowing for unlimited rides and access to unique attractions in each park.
