To buy a Disneyland Paris ticket, head to the official Disneyland Paris website. Pick your ticket type, how many parks and days you want, then your visit date, and pay. Tickets are issued in each guest’s name. They’re stored in your Disney account, ready to use from your phone, and the confirmation email gives you the link.
Here I explain, one step at a time, how to buy and book your tickets online without making a mistake. To figure out which ticket to get, compare the options, or see the full price breakdown, check out the complete guide (my ticket comparison).
Before you buy: pick the right ticket
Before you check out, take two minutes to decide exactly what you want to book. The checkout process will ask you for three things: the ticket type, the number of parks (1 or 2), and the number of days.
I won’t go over the comparison again here, since it’s all covered elsewhere:
- To compare every option and find the right one, read the complete guide (my ticket comparison).
- For the cheapest ticket, see the Bon Plan ticket.
- To find out what your ticket covers, see what’s included.
- To estimate your overall budget, see my price guide.
Once you’ve made up your mind, the purchase itself goes quickly. That’s what I’ll show you next.
Why buy on the official website?
Here’s my take, plain and simple: get your tickets straight from Disneyland Paris, on its official website (or in its app). Nothing is safer, and that’s what I tell anyone visiting for the first time.
Current prices and info
What you see there (prices, dates, deals) is always correct. On top of that, park tickets come with Disneyland Paris’s best price guarantee.
Real tickets, guaranteed
No risk of a fake ticket or one that’s already been scanned. You know you’ll get in on the big day.
Instant e-ticket
Your tickets arrive by email right away and work from your phone. No printing, and no waiting for something in the mail.
No resale scams
Tickets are issued in your name and can’t be transferred. Buying from the official site keeps you away from tickets resold person to person, which often can’t be used.
There are also authorized resellers in France (big entertainment and book retailers, and the ticket offices of French works councils, known as CE or CSE) that sell real tickets, sometimes at a discount. They’re reliable. On the other hand, I strongly advise against person-to-person resale platforms (classified ads, social media): a named ticket that’s been resold can’t be used by someone else, and you’ll be turned away at the gate with no way to appeal.

The walkthrough: buying your ticket step by step
Below is every step, from the home page all the way to the ticket in your Disney account. Plan on under ten minutes, and go through the steps in the order shown.
Open the official website and the ticket store
Start on the official Disneyland Paris website. Open the tickets section from the menu ("Disney Park Tickets"), which takes you to the online ticket store, and choose to buy a ticket ahead of time. The Disneyland Paris mobile app follows the exact same path.
Pick your ticket type
First choose how long you’re going (1 day, or 2 to 4 days), then the ticket type: dated ticket, dated Bon Plan ticket (cheaper but can’t be changed), or undated ticket (Billet Liberté in French, you book your date later). If you’re not sure, compare the options in my ticket comparison.
Set the number of parks and days
You pick the length at the top of the page (1 day, or 2 to 4 days). The 1 park or 2 parks choice comes right after, when you select your date. Adding a 2nd park or extra days pushes the price up.
Select your date on the calendar
Up top in the panel, pick 1 or 2 parks, then tap your visit date on the calendar. Each date is color-coded by price: popular days cost more. If you want a cheaper day with smaller crowds, check my crowd guide.
Enter the number of guests
Enter how many adults (ages 12 and up) and children (ages 3-11) are coming, up to 6 tickets in all. Kids under 3 get in free, no ticket needed. Double-check the date and number of parks shown before you continue.
Add any extras
You can add some extras, like Premier Access Ultimate to cut down your wait (see my guide to lines). Other options (Premier Access One, Guaranteed Access for shows) are usually bought on the day in the app.
Sign in and fill in guest details
Sign in to your Disney account (or create one). Enter your contact details, then the first and last name of each guest. For children, you’ll be asked for a date of birth. Tickets are issued in each guest’s name.
Pay and get your tickets
Accept the terms, give the date and park one final look, then confirm your order and pay. The tickets go straight into your Disney account, so you just pull them up on your phone at the gate, and the confirmation email includes the link.

Booking your date at Disneyland Paris
You can’t enter the parks without a reserved visit date. A dated ticket makes this simple, because the date is chosen during checkout (step 4) and you’re all set from then on.
Two reasons to think carefully about that date:
- It’s required to get in.
- The price depends on the date (dynamic pricing): going on a slow day brings the price down. To spot the best dates, see my crowd guide.
Went for an undated ticket (like the Billet Liberté)? Then your date gets booked on its own, once the purchase is done. I walk through that process in a separate article: registering an undated ticket.
Before you pay: what to double-check
The Bon Plan ticket: the cheapest admission to Disneyland Paris
The cheapest Disneyland Paris ticket, from €49 for one day in one park. The trade-off: limited dates, sales open 60 to 90 days ahead, and no refunds.

Read the articleFrequently asked questions
01 Where can you buy Disneyland Paris tickets safely?
The safest bet is the official Disneyland Paris website (or its app): up-to-date prices, real official tickets, and an instant e-ticket. Authorized resellers in France (cultural retail chains, works council ticket desks for French employees) also sell real tickets, sometimes at negotiated prices. Avoid person-to-person resale platforms (Leboncoin, Vinted, Facebook Marketplace): tickets are issued in a name and tied to a Disney account, so a resold ticket doesn’t always work.
02 Is a Disney account required to buy tickets?
Yes. On the official website and in the app, you have to sign in to your Disney account (or create one) to buy a ticket. The same account is also how you book a date for an undated ticket or a pass and manage your tickets. In practice, I suggest setting it up before you start your purchase.
03 How do you get your tickets, and do you need to print them?
Your tickets arrive by email right after purchase, as an e-ticket. On the day, you can show it on your phone (the QR code is all you need) or on paper, whichever you prefer. If you really want a physical ticket, request it by phone from the reservations center (+33 9 69 32 60 61) up to 14 business days before your visit date: shipping costs extra. You can also link your tickets to your account and to the Disneyland Paris app.
04 Can you buy tickets at the gate on the day of your visit?
As a general rule, no: tickets are bought online before you come (official website, app, or authorized reseller), unless you pay in cash, with vacation vouchers, or with a gift card, and there’s still room that day. Only in that case can you still buy at the entrance ticket booths, where special rates (the disability rate, for example) are applied when you show valid proof. I wouldn’t count on it, though, because the park can be full, and the standard price applies there, which is often higher than online. Buying ahead is still the better deal.
05 How many tickets can you buy at once?
The official website lets you pick up to 6 tickets in one go, capped at 12 tickets per order. Need more? You’ll have to split them across several orders. I don’t recommend juggling several Disney accounts, because they can’t be combined later.
06 Can you change or get a refund on a ticket once you’ve bought it?
That depends on the ticket. A standard dated ticket can be canceled for free up to 3 days before your visit. The Bon Plan ticket and the undated ticket allow no refund, no change, and no cancellation. On the undated ticket, the only thing you can change is the registered date, up to 10:00 on the booked day. Personal setbacks (illness, transportation problems, weather) never qualify for a refund. If there’s any chance you won’t make it, stick with the standard dated ticket. These terms can evolve, so confirm them on the official website before buying.
