The 2 parks at Disneyland Paris, covered in depth

Only a short walk separates the two parks. Crossing the central plaza (Fantasia Garden) takes 5 minutes on foot. To get into both on a single day, you’ll need a 2-park ticket. A 1-park ticket keeps you in whichever park scans your ticket first. There’s no shuttle to take between them, which is a big plus of Disneyland Paris.

Disneyland Paris sells quite a few kinds of tickets, and I know it’s easy to feel lost when planning a first trip. Here’s the 2026 lineup. Bon Plan tickets are the cheapest, but supply is limited. Dated 1-park or 2-park tickets work on one specific date. Undated 1-park or 2-park tickets let you set the date later, though they can’t be used on July 14, October 31, or December 31. Then there are multi-day tickets (2 to 4 days) and Special Offer tickets such as the Tribu ticket. Group tickets start at 20 people. Friends Tickets are only for annual passholders. Halloween and New Year’s Eve no longer have their own "evening" ticket: the nights of October 31 and December 31 come with that day’s dated ticket. Annual passholder evenings, however, still go on. And last, there are the annual passes themselves. Every ticket comes with its own rules and its own price.

The price of a stay varies a lot depending on the hotel you pick. For a 2-day, 1-night stay for 2 adults and 2 kids with park tickets included, expect about €600 at the cheapest official Disney hotel and up to €1,100 at the most upscale one. On top of that, you need to add meals: the amount depends on the type of restaurant, but I recommend budgeting at least €300 for breakfast, lunch, afternoon snack, and dinner over the 2 days. All in all, plan on €900 to €1,400 for this kind of trip. For a single day only, the 1-day 1-park ticket starts at €49 per adult with a Bon Plan ticket: in that case, plan a budget of at least about €400 for a one-day visit for 2 adults and 2 kids, meals included.

Without question, Disneyland Park has more attractions. By my count, there are 37 at Disneyland Park compared with 13 at Disney Adventure World. That’s no surprise: the original park opened in 1992 and has been adding to its lineup for over thirty years, whereas Disney Adventure World is still being transformed. If you only have one day and want to squeeze in the most attractions, I’d start with Disneyland Park.

No. Kids under 3 get into Disneyland Park and Disney Adventure World for free. There’s no ticket to buy or to show: you simply walk through the turnstiles together. One practical tip: always carry proof of your child’s age in your bag (a passport or an ID card). Disneyland Paris sometimes checks when there’s a doubt, because the rule has been abused a lot, so it pays to be ready. And bring a stroller too, because distances are longer than you’d expect.
