Two parks, and what is new in 2026

  • Disneyland Park: Sleeping Beauty Castle, Main Street U.S.A., Big Thunder Mountain, Pirates of the Caribbean and the evening show at the castle.
  • Disney Adventure World: the former Walt Disney Studios Park, renamed on March 29, 2026. It is home to the new World of Frozen with the Frozen Ever After boat ride, Adventure Way, the Adventure Bay lake and its nighttime drone show, plus Avengers Campus and Ratatouille: The Adventure.

The two parks are next to each other, a few minutes’ walk apart. To visit both on the same day, you need a two-park ticket.

How many days do you need?

  • One day: one park, from opening to the evening show. Easy as a day trip from Paris.
  • Two days: both parks at a comfortable pace. The best choice for most families.
  • Three days: a relaxed visit with young children, staying at a Disney hotel.

Tickets and timing

  • Tickets are dated and prices change from day to day. Buy them on the official Disneyland Paris website before you go.
  • Arrive 30 to 45 minutes before opening. The first hour has the shortest lines of the day.
  • Weekdays outside French school holidays are the quietest days.
  • Premier Access, a paid option in the official app, lets you skip the regular line on many rides.

1. The RER A from Paris

The RER A runs from Charles de Gaulle–Étoile, Auber, Châtelet–Les Halles and Gare de Lyon to Marne-la-Vallée–Chessy, right at the park gates, in about 40 minutes. A ticket costs €2.50. East of Paris the line splits in two, so take a train going to Marne-la-Vallée–Chessy, not Boissy-Saint-Léger.

It is cheap and frequent. The downsides are rush-hour crowds, stairs with a stroller and the ride home with tired children after the evening show.

2. From CDG or Orly

High-speed TGV trains link CDG Terminal 2 to Marne-la-Vallée–Chessy in about 10 minutes. Book a few weeks ahead for the best fares. From both CDG and Orly, an airport shuttle coach costs about €24 per adult and takes 45 to 70 minutes, depending on traffic.

3. A private driver

Your chauffeur collects you at your Paris hotel, or meets you at the airport, and drops you at the park entrance. At ALEGA it works like this:

  • A Mercedes with an English-speaking chauffeur, free child seats and boosters, water and Wi-Fi on board.
  • Arrive for opening and leave after the evening show: your chauffeur meets you when you are ready.
  • From CDG or Orly straight to Disneyland Paris or your Disney hotel, at the same price as a transfer from Paris.
  • One way: €170 per car for 1 to 3 people, €190 for 4 to 7. Round trip: €340 and €380.
  • Priority Access with a personal guide who takes you on the rides and plans the day: €1,450 for up to 4 people.

The price is per car, not per person. For a family of six, a round trip comes to about €63 each.

Tips from our drivers

  • Download the Disneyland Paris app before you go for wait times, show times and Premier Access.
  • Leave Paris early. On weekdays the A4 motorway slows down between 7:30 and 9 am.
  • Eat lunch early, around 11:30, before the restaurants fill up.
  • Stay for the evening show at the castle. It is the moment children remember most.
  • Check the refurbishment calendar on the official website, so a favorite ride is not closed on your day.
