Our essential advice to enjoy Disneyland Paris stress-free with maximum magic

A trip to Disneyland Paris means excitement, magic... but also a lot of organization! Between queues, budget, meals and unexpected events, a few tips are enough to turn your stay into a real success. Here is our top 10 for an unforgettable experience.

Our 10 essential tips

1

Book in advance

Prices are more advantageous several weeks/months in advance. Some Disney hotels offer exclusive benefits (Extra Magic Time, free shuttles).

2

Choose the right period

Avoid school holidays and long weekends if possible. Prefer January-March or September-October for less crowds and milder rates.

3

Download the official app

Real-time queue tracking, restaurant and show locations. Essential for booking your Premier Access.

4

Arrive early in the morning

The first hours are the quietest. The flagship attractions are more accessible before 11am.

5

Use Premier Access

Premier Access (paid) = fast track for the most popular attractions. Single Rider = special line if you accept to travel separately.

6

Plan breaks

Take your breaks during other visitors' meal times. Take advantage of this to watch parades or shows while resting.

7

Bring the essentials

Reusable water bottle (water points available), snacks, rain poncho, sunscreen depending on the season. Comfortable and light backpack.

8

Plan your meals

Book your restaurants online up to 2 months in advance. To save money, consider takeaway options outside the park.

9

Enjoy the parades

They are an integral part of the Disney magic. Arrive 20 to 30 minutes early to get a good spot.

10

Be flexible and have fun!

Don't try to do everything in one day. Plan a list of priority attractions, and let yourself be carried away by the magic.

💡 Pro tip: Combine several tips for an optimal experience. For example, book early to have access to Extra Magic Time, arrive early in the morning, and use the app to maximize your time in the park.
