Disneyland Paris parking: cost, hours, and access

If you’re driving to Disneyland Paris, parking is one of the first things to figure out and one of the first costs to budget for. The resort has a large visitor parking lot right at the entrance. You pay by the day, but plenty of guests park for free.

In this guide, I cover the price for each type of vehicle, who doesn’t pay, the hours, the exact address, how the lot is laid out, and ways to spend less.

The Disneyland Paris visitor parking lot has 11,200 spaces and sits right in front of the parks. It has been open since 1992 and charges a daily rate that depends on what you drive.

Since work wrapped up in 2024, the whole lot has been covered by a huge solar canopy: rows of solar panels that generate electricity while keeping cars out of the sun and rain. It’s one of the largest setups of its kind in Europe.

You pay one flat daily rate, no matter how long you stay. Here’s what it costs for each type of vehicle:

Good news: several groups of guests park for free. That includes you if you’re staying at a Disney hotel, or if you have a Disneyland annual pass (Bronze One, Bronze Max, Silver, or Gold), as long as you don’t come on a blockout day (some days are excluded depending on your pass).

Keep in mind: free parking only applies to vehicles under 2 m tall (taller vehicles still pay, with a discounted price for RVs). Some partner hotels include parking too, so check with yours. As for payment, the lot takes credit and debit cards, cash, and mobile payments (Apple Pay, Google Pay). The self-service machines take cards and mobile payments.

The parking lot is open year-round. You can drive in from 8:00, and it closes about 30 minutes after Disneyland Park does (so the time changes with the season). Watch out: overnight parking isn’t allowed. You need to leave by around 1:00 at the latest, or your vehicle may be towed. To get there, follow the well-marked signs for "Parcs Disney" or set your GPS to this address: Boulevard du Parc, 77700 Coupvray (GPS coordinates: 48.876077, 2.79646).

Once you’ve parked, it’s a 10 to 15 minute walk to the entrances, and moving walkways help you reach the parks faster. For other ways to get there, see my guide to getting to Disneyland Paris.

The lot is enormous, but it’s well organized into areas you can spot by their signs (and Cast Members, as Disney calls its employees, are there in the morning to point you in the right direction):

• The visitor parking lot, for cars, split into rows named after characters (Ariel, Bambi, Cruella, Donald, Elsa).
• The accessible parking area (called Winnie), reserved for guests with reduced mobility: you’ll need to show a mobility inclusion card (the French disability parking card) and go through a staffed booth.
• The RV parking area (Hei Hei), with dedicated services (dump station, showers, restrooms). This is where RVs can stay overnight, since overnight parking isn’t allowed in the main lot.
• The bus parking area (Tigger).
• The electric vehicle parking area (Frozone and Gaston rows), with paid charging stations. You’ll find some in the Winnie accessible area too.

Good to know: utility trailers and travel trailers aren’t allowed. Also, Disneyland Paris doesn’t guarantee that vehicles are watched, so don’t leave anything in sight inside your car, and note down your spot (area and row) so you can find it again at night.

If the visitor lot price puts you off, there are two cheaper but smaller options: the Indigo parking garage at Disney Village (even closer to the parks, charged by the hour) and the parking lot at the Marne-la-Vallée Chessy SNCF train station. And depending on your situation, a few options even let you park without paying at all. I go into all of it in my dedicated articles: the Indigo parking garage at Disney Village and the free parking options.

A few pointers depending on who you are:

• First visit: the big lot is easy to get into. Just follow the signs and the Cast Members, and note your spot as soon as you arrive. My pointers are in the first-time visitor guide.
• Families with kids: park, find your row, and take the moving walkways so nobody’s worn out before you even get in. If you’re staying at a Disney hotel, parking is free. See the family hub.
• With friends: when several of you share a car, you split the parking cost, and it quickly beats the train. Ideas in the friends group hub.
• Guests with disabilities or reduced mobility: head for the Winnie area with your mobility inclusion card, and go through a staffed booth where someone will guide you. It’s all in the accessibility hub.
