The parks offer a paid service where you can get made up as a Disney character. Anyone ages 3 and up can do it, kids and grown-ups alike, without booking ahead. Prices start at €15 for a design on the arm.
Below, you’ll find where to go, the full price list, and what happens once you’re there.
What are the face painting stands?
It’s an extra service in the parks that you pay for. A makeup artist paints you in one of a selection of Disney looks: princess, pirate, or a character of the moment. Some designs change with the season or with events (a new movie release, a special period). This is different from Mon Rêve Royal, the full makeover offered at the hotel (more on that below).
You have two options:
- Makeup on the face: the full design, and the one people notice most.
- Makeup on the arm: more low-key and cheaper, handy for kids who don’t like having their whole face covered.
Either way, you pick your design from a menu board. The artist then adjusts it to suit the person being painted.

Seasonal stands often feature themes tied to the current event (The Lion King, pirates, and so on). Whether they’re open and where they stand changes through the year, so check on the day of your visit.

Face painting prices in the parks
You don’t need a reservation or an appointment. Here’s how it works:
- Head to the store right next to the stand.
- Pick your design from the menu board and pay.
- You’re handed a ticket.
- Show your ticket at the stand, and the artist does the painting.
Who can get face painting?
The service is open to everyone ages 3 and up, with no upper age limit. Kids and adults can both enjoy it. Nothing stops you from getting painted alongside your children.
Why get your child’s face painted?
It’s a small, simple treat that makes the day stand out. I especially recommend it if your child loves dressing up. Don’t worry: the artists are used to kids, it’s quick and painless, and the result always looks great in photos.
- To complete a costume your child is already wearing in the park.
- To treat them without spending much.
- To keep a nice photo memory.
- Because it’s quick and needs no reservation: you stop by whenever you like.
