Disneyland Paris annual pass: your guide to the Disneyland Pass

If you plan to visit more than once a year, the Disneyland Pass is a game changer: after a few visits it often costs less than the same number of tickets, with parking included and extra perks on top. You still need to pick the right tier. The range now has four passes (the Bronze One, the Bronze Max, Silver and Gold), each with its own number of access days, parks and discounts. The newest, the Bronze One, arrived on 12 February 2026.

I’ve been an annual passholder since March 2016. Here I explain what each pass is worth, how to choose, how many visits it takes to pay for itself and everything you need to know to buy it, use it and renew it.

The Disneyland Pass is the Disneyland Paris annual pass, launched in July 2023 to replace the old range (the Infinity, the Magic Plus, the Magic Flex and the Discovery). It gives you access to the parks on a set number of days a year, depending on the tier you choose, for a price paid upfront or monthly. It’s now a 100% digital pass: it’s added to your account and you show it in the Disneyland Paris app, with no plastic card (a physical version is still available for free).

Each tier has its own blockout calendar, meaning the days when it doesn’t give you access to the park, often the busiest periods for the cheaper passes. Parking is included with every tier and the higher you go, the more days and perks you get.

The range goes from the cheapest to the most complete. The two Bronze passes give you access on a tighter budget, the Silver adds discounts in the parks and the Gold offers unlimited access with every perk. Here’s each pass at a glance, then the full details in the table.

A Disneyland Pass costs from €289 for the Bronze One to €799 for the Gold. You can pay in one go or choose fee-free monthly payments, in 11 instalments after an initial payment (which varies by tier).

The total is the same either way, so just pick what suits your budget. It’s also worth checking with your works council (a French employee perk scheme), which sometimes offers the pass at a discounted price.

A child price (under 12) has existed since April 2025. It now applies to all four tiers, from €223 to €601. Watch out: these child passes include no perks beyond park entry, except Extra Magic Time (entry 1 hour before opening) with the Gold.

The right pass mainly depends on how often you visit, which days you can come and whether you want to make the most of the restaurants and shops. If you can only come at weekends or during French school holidays, avoid the Bronze passes, which are heavily restricted at those times. To visit three to eight times a year, mostly on weekdays, a Bronze One (one park) or Bronze Max (two parks) is more than enough.

If you visit often and like eating in the parks or shopping, the Silver and its discounts quickly become worthwhile. And if you want to come with no date restrictions and enjoy everything, the Gold is made for you. Good to know: the surprises (evening events, Pop-Up Surprises, Friends Tickets, previews) are the same whatever your tier, so the choice really comes down to access days and discounts.

That’s the real question before you buy. Compared with the price of a dated ticket, a Disneyland Pass pays for itself in just a few visits. Here’s the point at which each pass works out cheaper than buying the same number of tickets.

The maths is simple: divide the price of the pass by that of a 1-day 2-park dated ticket (€100). Example: a Bronze One (€289) ÷ €100 ≈ 3 visits to break even.

In other words, from 3 or 4 visits for a Bronze (6 to 8 for a Silver or a Gold), the pass comes out ahead, not counting the included parking (usable even on days when you’re just coming for a meal or a stroll around Disney Village, if the day is open to your pass) and the discounts on the higher tiers.

The headline price doesn’t tell the whole story and that’s often where the right choice is made.

• The real value of the discounts. The -10% (Silver) or -15% (Gold) off restaurants and shops look modest, but on a trip where you eat in the parks and bring home souvenirs, they soon add up. If you mostly grab a quick bite and buy nothing, they don’t count. Another plus: these discounts can often be combined with current promotions, especially during the sales.
• Parking, the invisible saving. Included every time you come, even on days when you just drop by for a meal or a stroll around Disney Village (except on your tier’s blockout days). On its own, parking at the parks costs €30/day for a car: that’s what you save on every visit.
• The trap of the tier that’s too tight. The right tier isn’t the cheapest one, it’s the one whose calendar matches YOUR availability: a Bronze bought to save money is useless if your dates are blocked out.
• My verdict. I find the Silver offers the best balance for anyone who visits regularly and enjoys the restaurants. Below three visits a year, a dated ticket is still the smarter choice.

Beyond park access, the Disneyland Pass comes with plenty of perks, which vary depending on the tier:

• parking included with every pass, free all year round even on days you don’t visit the park, except on your tier’s blockout days
• discounts on restaurants, shops and PhotoPass (your photos taken in the parks, included digitally) from the Silver up, more generous with the Gold
• PhotoPass included and Extra Magic Time (early entry, usually one hour before opening) with the Gold
• access to Disneyland Pass evenings, private events for passholders only, and I keep how they work and the dates up to date
• Pop-Up Surprises, rare character meets for passholders only
• previews of rides and shows, and Disney film screenings
• Friends Tickets, to invite friends and family at a discounted price
• Disney hotel offers for passholders only, which I list in a dedicated article.

With a Disneyland Pass, booking your day is compulsory before you come, within the days allowed by your tier and up to three dates in advance. Each pass has its own blockout calendar. The cheaper passes are blocked out at the busiest times (holidays, long weekends, festive periods), while the Gold stays valid all year round.

On a blocked-out day, you can neither book nor use your pass perks. The step-by-step guide and the availability calendars are in my article on booking your dates with the Disneyland Pass.

There are three ways to buy one. Online, on the official website of Disneyland Paris: your pass is digital and available in the app from the next day (you can also ask for a free physical version at the ticket desks). At the park ticket desks, dedicated to annual passes and located at the entrance, usually under the Disneyland Hotel (except during refurbishment): you leave with a physical version valid the same day, with no need for an entry ticket. Finally, by phone, through Disneyland Paris customer service: you then receive a voucher (a temporary pass valid for one entry), to exchange for the permanent pass at a ticket desk at the park entrance.

Details on adding and using the digital pass are in my article on the Disneyland Pass in the app.

If you buy your Disneyland Pass through your works council (CE or CSE), you receive a temporary pass valid for 2 months: remember to swap it for the permanent pass on site, at the pass ticket desks, to activate all your perks. You don’t need to do this if you’re renewing an existing pass.

One last thing to know: the number of Disneyland Passes on sale each year is limited. When a tier’s quota is reached, that pass becomes temporarily unavailable to buy. If the one you want no longer appears, keep an eye on the official website: new sales open up regularly.

To buy or renew a Disneyland Pass, you’ll need:

• photo ID
• a passport photo (it can be taken at the ticket desks)
• a family record book for children
• bank details (RIB) if you choose monthly payments
• a CMI (France’s official disability card) if you’re claiming the 25% disability discount.

As your expiry date approaches, you can renew your pass at the ticket desks. Since April 2025, a 15% discount applies to renewals made at the ticket desks (upfront or monthly), from 30 days before to 30 days after your pass ends.

You can also change tier (from a Bronze to a Silver, for example) by paying only the difference. The steps and timings are in my article on renewing or changing your Disneyland Pass.

If you forget your pass on the day of your visit, don’t worry: the digital version in the app gets you into the car park and the park and gives you all your perks from your phone. If you lose it, you need to have the pass replaced (around €40) to block the old one and stop anyone else using it.

If you think you lost it in the park, check first at City Hall, on Main Street, before asking for a replacement.

Yes. The range launched in July 2023 (Bronze, Silver, Gold) moved to four tiers on 12 February 2026, with a price rise. The Silver went from €499 to €569 and the Gold from €699 to €799. The original Bronze (two-park access, €289) was split into the Bronze One (one park) and the Bronze Max (two parks). The child price, meanwhile, has existed since April 2025.

If you hear about the Infinity pass, the Magic Plus, the Magic Flex or the Discovery, they’re the old annual passes: they were replaced in July 2023 by the Bronze, Silver and Gold range (the Bronze One came later, on 12 February 2026).

Some perks from back then have gone, such as the Infinity VIP parking, the passholder entrance and the reserved areas for the parade and night-time shows. I go through what changed in my article on the old annual passes.
