Disneyland Paris annual pass: your Disneyland Pass guide

If you plan to come more than once a year, the Disneyland Pass is a game changer. After a handful of visits, it often costs less than buying the same number of tickets, and you get parking plus extra perks on top. The trick is picking the right level. There are four passes today (Bronze One, Bronze Max, Silver, and Gold), each with its own number of access days, its parks, and its discounts. The newest one, the Bronze One, launched on February 12, 2026.

I’ve held an annual pass since March 2016. Below, I break down the real value of each level, the way to pick yours, the number of visits before it starts saving you money, plus all the practical details on buying, using, and renewing it.

The Disneyland Pass is the annual pass of Disneyland Paris. It launched in July 2023 and replaced the old lineup (Infinity, Magic Plus, Magic Flex, and Discovery). Depending on the level you pick, it lets you into the parks on a set number of days each year, for a price you pay once or month by month. It’s now a 100% digital pass: you add it to your account and show it in the Disneyland Paris app, with no plastic card (you can still ask for a physical one for free).

Each level comes with its own blockout calendar, meaning the days when it won’t get you into the park, often the busiest periods for the cheaper passes. Parking comes with every level, and the higher you go, the more days and perks you get.

Read the lineup from the cheapest to the most complete. The two Bronze passes get you in on a tighter budget, the Silver adds discounts in the parks, and the Gold gives you unlimited access with every perk. Here’s a quick look at each pass, followed by the full breakdown in the table.

A Disneyland Pass costs anywhere from €289 for the Bronze One to €799 for the Gold. You can pay all at once or go with interest-free monthly payments: 11 installments after an initial down payment (the amount depends on the pass).

You end up paying the same total either way, so just pick what works for your budget. It’s also worth checking with your works council (a French employee committee that offers perks), which sometimes sells the pass at a discount.

Child pricing (under 12) has been available since April 2025. It now covers all four levels, from €223 to €601. Keep in mind that these child passes include no perks beyond park entry, except Extra Magic Time (entry 1 hour before opening) with the Gold.

The right pass mostly comes down to how often you’ll visit, which days you’re free to come, and whether you want to enjoy the restaurants and stores. If you can only make it on weekends or during French school vacation, skip the Bronze passes, which are heavily blocked out during those times. For three to eight visits a year, mostly on weekdays, a Bronze One (one park) or Bronze Max (two parks) is plenty.

If you come often and like to have lunch in the parks or go shopping, the Silver and its discounts quickly start to make sense. And if you want to come with no date restrictions and enjoy everything, the Gold is the one for you. Good to know: the surprises (passholder nights, Pop-Up Surprises, Friends Tickets, previews) are the same at every level, so your choice really hinges on access days and discounts.

That’s the real question before you buy. Compare the pass price with a dated ticket and you’ll see that a Disneyland Pass pays for itself in just a few visits. Here’s the point at which each pass becomes cheaper than buying the same number of tickets.

The math is easy: divide the pass price by the cost of a 1-day 2-park dated ticket (€100). For example, a Bronze One (€289) ÷ €100 ≈ 3 visits to break even.

In other words, starting at 3 or 4 visits for a Bronze (6 to 8 for a Silver or a Gold), the pass comes out ahead. And that’s before counting the included parking (which you can use even on days you only come for a meal or a stroll around Disney Village, as long as the day is open to your pass) and the discounts on the higher levels.

A price tag only shows part of the picture, and the rest is usually what decides which pass suits you best.

• What the discounts are really worth. The -10% (Silver) or -15% (Gold) off restaurants and stores may look small, but on a trip where you eat lunch in the parks and bring home souvenirs, they add up fast. If you mostly grab quick bites and don’t buy anything, they won’t matter. Another plus: these discounts can often be stacked with current promotions, especially during sales.
• Parking, the savings you don’t see. It’s included every time you come, even on days you just stop by for a meal or a stroll around Disney Village (except on your level’s blockout days). On its own, parking at the parks costs €30/day per car, so that’s money saved on every visit.
• Watch out for a level that’s too tight. The best level for you is not the lowest price, but the one whose blockout calendar fits the days YOU can actually come. Buying a Bronze to save money gets you nowhere if your dates are off-limits.
• My verdict. I find the Silver strikes the best balance if you come regularly and like to enjoy the restaurants. Below three visits a year, a dated ticket is still the smarter buy.

Beyond park entry, the Disneyland Pass comes with plenty of perks, more or less generous depending on the level:

• parking included with every pass, free all year long even on days you don’t go into the park, except on your level’s blockout days
• discounts on restaurants, stores, and PhotoPass (the photos taken of you in the parks, included as digital files) from the Silver up, bigger with the Gold
• with the Gold, PhotoPass comes included, along with Extra Magic Time (getting in early, typically one hour ahead of opening)
• access to Disneyland Pass nights, private after-hours events just for passholders, and I keep how they work and their dates up to date
• Pop-Up Surprises, rare character meet and greets for passholders only
• previews of new rides and shows, plus Disney movie screenings
• Friends Tickets, to bring your friends and family at a discounted price
• Disney hotel deals just for passholders, which I list in a dedicated article.

With a Disneyland Pass, you must book your day before you come, within the days your level allows and up to three dates ahead. Each pass has its own blockout calendar. The cheaper passes are blocked out during the busiest periods (French school vacation, long weekends, holidays), while the Gold stays valid all year.

On a blocked-out day, you can’t book and you can’t use your pass perks either. The step-by-step process and the availability calendars are in my article Booking your dates with the Disneyland Pass.

You have three ways to buy it. Online, on the official website of Disneyland Paris: your pass is digital and shows up in the app the next day (you can also ask for a free physical version at the ticket windows). At the park ticket windows reserved for annual passes, located at the entrance, usually under the Disneyland Hotel (except during renovation work): you leave with a physical pass that works the same day, no entry ticket needed. And finally by phone, through Disneyland Paris customer service: you then get a voucher (a temporary pass good for one entry), which you swap for your permanent pass at a ticket window at the park entrance.

For how to add and use the digital pass, see my article on the Disneyland Pass in the app.

If you buy your Disneyland Pass through your works council (CE or CSE), you’ll get a temporary pass valid for 2 months. Remember to turn it into your permanent pass on site, at the passholder ticket windows, to unlock all your perks. You don’t need to do this if you’re renewing an existing pass.

One last thing to know: Disneyland Paris only sells a limited number of Disneyland Passes each year. Once a level hits its quota, that pass is temporarily unavailable for purchase. If the one you want no longer shows up, keep an eye on the official website, since new sales open up again regularly.

To buy or renew a Disneyland Pass, bring:

• a photo ID
• an ID photo (it can be taken on site at the ticket windows)
• a passport for children
• a RIB (French bank account details form) if you’d like to pay month by month
• a CMI (France’s official disability card) if you’re asking for the 25% disability discount.

As your expiration date gets close, you can renew your pass at the ticket windows. Since April 2025, you get 15% off when you renew at the ticket windows (paying up front or monthly), anywhere from 30 days before to 30 days after your pass ends.

You can also switch levels (going from a Bronze to a Silver, for example) and only pay the difference. The steps and deadlines are all in my article Renewing or switching 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 parking lot and the park, and lets you use all your perks from your phone. If you lose it, you’ll need to have it replaced (about €40) so the old one gets deactivated and no one else can use it.

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

Yes. The lineup launched in July 2023 (Bronze, Silver, Gold) grew to four levels on February 12, 2026, along with a price increase. 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). Child pricing, for its part, has been around since April 2025.

If you hear people talk about the Infinity, Magic Plus, Magic Flex, or Discovery passes, those are the former annual passes. They were replaced in July 2023 by the Bronze, Silver, and Gold lineup (the Bronze One came later, on February 12, 2026).

Some of the old perks are gone, like the Infinity’s VIP parking, the passholder entrance, and the reserved viewing areas for the parade and the nighttime shows. I go over everything that changed in my article on the old annual passes.
