If you are planning a trip to Disneyland Paris then it’s likely your first question is where and how to buy Disneyland Paris tickets! Tickets to Disneyland Paris must be purchased in advance so you will need to plan ahead of your trip. We have visited many times and have put together this guide on Disneyland Paris tickets: we’ve included an outline of the different ticket options available and the best places to buy tickets to Disneyland Paris.
How to Buy Disneyland Paris Tickets
There are 3 ways to buy Disneyland Paris tickets: you can purchase tickets only, as part of a tickets and hotel package or by purchasing an annual pass:
Do I need to buy Disneyland Paris tickets in advance?
First things first, yes, you must purchase Disneyland Paris tickets in advance! You cannot buy Disneyland Paris tickets at the entrance. Only special-rate tickets for guests with disabilities, their accompanying guest and certain tickets related to Annual Pass holder benefits can be purchased at the gate on the day.
1 | Disneyland Paris Park Tickets Only
The best way to purchase park tickets is direct with disneylandparis.com.
Buy your Disneyland Paris tickets now!
*NOTE: Sometimes it can be cheaper to stay onsite with tickets included!*
Disneyland Paris tickets tip: if you are planning to stay outside of Disneyland Paris we still always, always recommend checking the price of a hotel and tickets package directly on DisneylandParis.com – we’ve come across dates where the hotel and tickets package is actually cheaper than purchasing park tickets only and also have come across many dates where staying onsite worked out less expensive than staying offsite and purchasing tickets – check prices here!
For ticket only purchases:
You can choose between dated and undated tickets:
Dated tickets: 1,2, 3 and 4-day dated tickets which provide access to one or both parks on each day – if you choose a one-park ticket then you can spend each day in either Walt Disney Studios or in the Disneyland Park or, if you opt for a two-park ticket, you can move between the two parks during each day as you wish – check ticket prices now!
Undated tickets: if you are not sure of your dates or are gifting. Remember, undated tickets are valid for one year and you MUST register your visit date to ensure access to the park as it does sell out – check ticket prices here!
Dated ticket with shuttle: if you are travelling to Disneyland from Paris then the dated ticket with shuttle transport might be a good option. You can also travel by RER from central Paris if you prefer – check ticket prices now!!
Should I buy 1 or 2 park tickets?
If you plan to visit both the main Disneyland Park and Walt Disney Studios on the same day you need a 2-park ticket. Disneyland Paris is the main park but Walt Disney Studios is equally as wonderful – both parks have awesome rides, fantastic character meet and greets and great dining options. Walt Disney Studios is home to the Marvel Avengers Campus and is an absolute must for Marvel fans.
We like the flexibility of being able to move between the parks – even on days we spend in the main Disneyland Park we usually pop over to Walt Disney Studios to catch a show (Mickey and the Magician and Frozen: a Musical Invitation are our favourites), for food (we love the Ratatouille-themed Chez Remy, fries from the Hollywood Catering Food Truck or Disney Magnums from Ice Cream Creations) or for character meet and greets (Minnie Mouse, Olaf, Buzz Lightyear, Woody and Jessie all do fantastic meet and greets in Walt Disney Studios).
Should I buy dated/undated tickets?
Dated or Undated tickets? If you know the dates of your visit then dated tickets are the best option as you have guaranteed entry on the ticket date. Dated tickets are less expensive than undated and become cheaper as you increase the days (i.e. a 4-day ticket costs much less per day than a one-day ticket). Undated tickets must be registered against a date before use – the park regularly reaches capacity so it can be harder to secure peak dates and we recommend reserving your dates as soon as you have your schedule.
Ticket prices are relatively similar across the official sellers – you can check the price on Attraction tickets (check prices now) for comparison.
Do Disneyland Paris ticket prices vary?
Yes, ticket prices vary depending on when you visit. The least expensive tickets are in low season (for example late January/early February) while the most expensive peak season days include Christmas, Halloween and the summer months.

We’ve stayed at all of the Disneyland Paris onsite hotels in recent months and this is our take on them:
- Cheyenne (3* Toy Story themed): best value for money, rooms are located in Wild West style blocks surrounding the main reception building, Jessie and Woodie (Toy Story) meet and greets – check prices here!

- Sequoia (3* US National Park style decor) – swimming pool (with slide!), Mickey and Friends meet and greets, rooms located in the main hotel and surrounding lodges, cosy bar with log fire – check prices here!
- Newport Bay (4* Nautical style decor) – swimming pool (with small pool kids can use), Mickey and Friends character greets, lovely bar/lounge area – check prices here!
- Santa Fe (2* Cars themed) – budget hotel, rooms are located in Cars-themed blocks behind the main reception building, Mickey and Friends character greets – check prices here!
- Disneyland Hotel (5* Prince and Princess themed): reopening January 2024. We can’t wait to stay! – check prices now!
One additional offsite property, the Davy Crockett Ranch, is a self-catering option (a car is essential) with cabins suitable for larger families/groups. It offers some of the Disney hotel benefits including Extra Magic Hour – check availability and prices here!
How much extra does it cost to stay onsite?
We’ve always priced up booking an offsite hotel and tickets separately (we need tickets for 2 adults and 2 children and a hotel room that fits 2 adults, 2 children and one infant) and the savings from staying offsite are often minimal – then add in the benefits (Extra Magic Hour, character meet and greets) and the convenience (walk/free shuttle to park ever 12 minutes)! However, depending on your ticket needs or if you don’t want to go to the park every day you might find it better to book separately.
- price hotels on booking.com
- price park tickets directly through Disneyland Paris – (check prices now!) and Attraction tickets (check prices now!)
- allow for the cost of parking if necessary (Eur 30 per day at the park)
- we usually find that the Disney hotel packages offer better value
3 | Annual Passes
If you are a regular visitor to Disneyland Paris then a Disneyland Paris Annual Pass, the Disneyland Pass, is a great option. With three young kids and easy access to flights and ferries to France, we visit Disneyland Paris 3 or 4 times a year at the moment so an annual pass is perfect for us. Annual Passes cover park entry for one year – the prices vary from €289 to €699 depending on the level of the Annual Pass and its benefits. The passes can be purchased online and are issued as digital passes – at the moment, you have to purchase through the French Disneyland Paris website so just right-click and translate to English and it is easy to purchase – check Disneyland Paris Annual Pass options here!

There are 3 levels of Disney Pass and validity days are specified for each level of Annual Pass. Guests can still stay onsite at a discount as they do not require tickets.
