Disneyland Paris cost: every current price and the budget to plan for

Want the number right away? Here it is.

A day at Disneyland Paris starts at €49 for the ticket alone (the Bon Plan ticket, one park). A dated ticket (fixed date) runs closer to €75 per adult. On top of that come your meals (from €5 to €22 each at a quick-service spot) and getting there. If you drive, parking is €30 a day, paid once for the whole group.

A Disney hotel stay is a different story. It starts at €195 per person per night, with park tickets already included. It goes all the way up to €1,235 at the Disneyland Hotel.

To see where each item lands at a glance:

Ticket for one day

€49 at the low end (Bon Plan, a single park), up to €100 at the high end (dated, both parks, adult)

Food

anywhere between €5 and €55 for each adult meal, with quick service at the bottom and table service at the top

Car

€30 for each vehicle and each day (visitor parking)

In this article, I keep two budgets completely apart: the day trip without a hotel first, then the trip with a hotel stay.

A day at Disneyland Paris comes down to three items: the ticket, meals, and getting there. Plan on at least €49 for the ticket by itself, then add two meals and the trip in. That gives you the real cost of your day.

The ticket. This is the biggest item. The Bon Plan ticket is the cheapest option: from €49 for one park. The catch is that you buy it 60 to 90 days ahead of your visit, and only a limited number are sold. You can’t change it or get a refund.

For a dated ticket (one fixed date) valid in one park, figure on about €75 for adults and €70 for kids. Add the second park and that becomes €100 for adults and €90 for kids.

Would you rather pick your date later? The undated ticket (Billet Liberté in French) costs €129. It can’t be used on July 14, October 31, or December 31. I go through every ticket type and the best time to buy in my ticket comparison.

Meals. I plan on two meals a day in the parks, and what you pay depends on where you eat. At a quick-service spot, an adult meal costs between €5 and €22 (children pay slightly less). Buffets reach €45 for adults and €25 for kids. Expect roughly €50 per adult and €25 per child for table service. If money is tight, sticking to two counter-service meals saves the most.

Getting there. There are two options, and you won’t need both. If you drive, visitor parking costs €30 per day per vehicle, not per person. If you come another way, the airport shuttle costs €24 per adult and €11 per child. Everything about parking and access is in my parking guide.

The table below sums up these three items.

Here are the add-ons you might choose. For each one, I explain exactly what you get.

Disney Premier Access. This is the paid skip-the-line option: it cuts your wait on certain rides. Premier Access One is bought one ride at a time. Expect €5 to €23 per person per ride. The price depends on the ride and on how crowded the day is. Premier Access Ultimate gives you one entry on each included ride over the day: €110 to €230 per person per day.

PhotoPass. It gathers the photos the park photographers take of you. Key point: it’s a single purchase at €90 that covers the whole group for the entire trip. Don’t multiply it, either by the number of people or by the number of days. I see that mistake all the time.

Character dining. This is a meal (often a buffet) where characters stop by your table. Expect €80 to €120 per adult and €40 to €60 per child. It’s a premium meal, so I count it as an extra, not as part of the basic food budget.

The table below lists these options.

How much does a Disneyland Paris trip cost? It starts at €195 per person per night, tickets included. And it climbs to €1,235 at the Disneyland Hotel. In between, seven hotels cover every price range.

Here’s how it works. You book a package (room + tickets). The fancier the hotel, the higher the price per person.

Here are the seven hotels, from most affordable to most upscale:

• Davy Crockett Ranch, between €200 and €525. This is the lowest-priced option, outdoor-style lodging set apart from the parks. You’ll almost certainly want a car to reach them.
• Disney Hotel Santa Fe, between €195 and €465. Of the budget hotels, it’s the one nearest the parks.
• Disney Hotel Cheyenne, between €210 and €485.
• Sequoia Lodge, between €230 and €545. This one sits in the middle of the range.
• Newport Bay Club, between €235 and €610.
• New York - The Art of Marvel, between €310 and €825.
• Disneyland Hotel, between €465 and €1,235. The premium choice, sitting at the gates of Disneyland Park.

The cost of a stay swings a lot with the dates. The same room can cost twice as much from one week to the next. To plan yours:

• start with my crowd guide
• then read how to plan your trip
• to pick a hotel, browse all the hotels compared, with their price level.

Two last points about your trip budget.

First, what comes on top of the package: meals (same prices as for a day visit, times the number of meals and days) and any extras (Premier Access, PhotoPass).

Second, the cost to leave OUT: visitor parking. Disney hotel guests generally have it included. So don’t automatically count the €30 per day again in your budget.

To make all this concrete, here are five examples by traveler type. I show the estimated total first, based on current prices. Then what goes into it. Assumption: two meals per person per day.

Solo, one day: about €115.

Ticket

a single Bon Plan ticket, €49.

Food

two counter-service meals, €18 apiece (a regular combo).

Parking

€30 if you come by car.

This is the leanest scenario.

Couple, one day: about €360.

Tickets

a one-park dated ticket for each of the two of you, €75 per adult.

Food

the buffet, €45 a person for every meal (each of you eats two).

Parking

a single spot, €30, split between you.

Family (2 adults + 2 kids), one day: about €440.

Tickets

€75 for each of the 2 adults, €70 for each of the 2 kids.

Counter-service food

€18 for an adult, €12 for a child (everyone eats two meals).

Parking

one spot for the whole family, €30.

Couple, 3 days and 2 nights at a value hotel: starting at €780 (package price with tickets), plus meals.

Santa Fe packages begin at €195 for each person and each night, and the total covers two of you over two nights. Then budget for food, for instance €50 per adult for a table-service meal.

Family (2 adults + 2 kids), 3 days and 2 nights at a moderate hotel: starting at €1,300 (package price with tickets), plus meals and extras.

Sequoia Lodge packages begin at €230 a night for each adult and €95 a night for each child, so the total covers two adults and two kids for two nights. On top of that, count on buffet meals at €45 for an adult and €25 for a child, plus one PhotoPass for the whole family at €90.

Whether it’s a day visit or a longer trip, keep these three rules in mind:

• parking is paid per vehicle, not per person
• PhotoPass is bought only once for the group
• a vacation package already includes your tickets.

On to the catalog. Here’s the up-to-date breakdown, item by item, for anyone who wants every price in front of them. A few prices I already mentioned above show up again here, so you get the full picture in one place.

A quick reminder before you dive in. These tables list PRICES, not terms and conditions. To figure out which ticket to pick, which pass is worth it, or how parking works, I point you to my dedicated guides as you go through each section.

And since the question comes up a lot: restrooms in the parks and at Disney Village are free. You don’t need to budget anything for them.

Disneyland Paris tickets come in several types. The main ones are the Bon Plan ticket (the cheapest, with conditions), the dated ticket (fixed date), and the undated ticket (flexible date). Big dates like October 31 or December 31 are among the most expensive days of the year. Each type comes as a one-park or two-park ticket. Dated and undated tickets have an adult price and a child price (ages 3 to 11). The Bon Plan ticket, on the other hand, has one price for everyone. Kids under 3 get in free.

To work out which one suits your visit, see my ticket comparison. This section is about prices only.

The Disneyland Pass (the annual pass) comes in four tiers: Bronze One, Bronze Max, Silver, and Gold, from the most basic to the most complete. Every tier can be paid annually (all at once) or in monthly installments. The table shows both. To find out how many visits it takes for a pass to pay for itself, and what each tier unlocks (access days, discounts, parking), see my annual pass guide.

When it comes to food, prices depend on the type of dining. Counter service (quick service) is the cheapest. All-you-can-eat buffets and table service are a step up. Character dining is the most expensive, since characters come around to your table.

The ranges below go from a single item to a full fixed-price meal, per person per meal. One note on counter service: the low end of the range (around €5) is for a single item, more of a snack (fries, something sweet). The high end is for a full combo meal. You’ll find the details on every option in my meal plan guide.

Disney Premier Access is the paid way to skip the line. It comes in two versions. Premier Access One is sold individually (one ride, one entry), and its price depends on the ride and the crowds. Premier Access Ultimate covers one entry on every included ride for the day.

Visitor parking for the parks is charged per day and per vehicle, not per person. The price depends on what you drive. The Disney Village parking garage (run by Indigo) has its own rates. Good to know: Disney hotel guests usually park at no charge. Access points and locations are all covered in my parking guide.

Beyond tickets, meals, and getting there, a whole range of services can end up on your bill. None of them are required. I list them so you know exactly what’s available and what it costs, with no nasty surprises.

You’ll find photos (PhotoPass), reserved viewing spots for parades and shows, luggage storage, stroller and wheelchair rental, a kennel for your pets, princess makeovers, the barbershop, birthday cakes, and even the shooting gallery. The table below brings them all together.

A few good habits can bring your budget down noticeably. Here are the ones I use.

Go on a weekday, outside French school vacations. This makes the biggest difference. The same room can cost far less on a Tuesday in shoulder season than on a Saturday during school break. To figure out when to go, see my crowd guide.

Book ahead and use the price comparison calendar. Disneyland Paris has a color-coded calendar that shows at a glance which dates cost least. It estimates what you’ll pay for each date and hotel based on your group (the price shown is per person, with tickets). Nothing beats it for zeroing in on an affordable date.

Grab a Bon Plan ticket. If you’re going for one day, no ticket costs less: prices start at €49, and you have to buy it 60 to 90 days ahead. I explain all the conditions in my Bon Plan ticket article.

Check whether a discount or deal applies to you. Before paying full price, look at discounted prices and current deals: the disability rate (ticket for guests with disabilities), the military rate (military ticket), the Disney+ offer for subscribers (vacation discount for Disney+ subscribers), or a current deal like Friends Tickets. I round up every open deal in my roundup of promos and deals.

Spread out the cost. Disneyland Paris offers a payment plan so you can pay for a trip in several installments. It helps if you want to book early (so at a better price) without paying everything at once.

Look at partner hotels too. Their prices are frequently lower, though you give up the Disney perks. Tickets aren’t always part of the deal either, so if they’re not, budget for them separately. You’ll find them in the hotel comparison.

Buy an annual pass if you’ll be back often. If you plan several visits within a year, a pass soon works out cheaper than paying for dated tickets one by one. Options run from the entry-level pass at €289 per adult to the top pass at €799 per adult. I break down when each one pays for itself, and what it includes, in my annual pass guide.

Time it right. Keep an eye out and track falling prices: the moment a stay goes under your budget, you’ll get an alert from me.
