Know Before You Go: Tips for Visiting Disneyland® Paris

Purchasing your tickets in advance will allow you to enter the park much faster than you would otherwise. If you can't decide between Disneyland® Park and Walt Disney Studios® Park, pre-purchase a 1-day, 1-park ticket and decide upon arrival—or book a 2-park hopper ticket to experience both.

Disneyland® Paris is set 27 miles (44 kilometers) east of Paris, so skip the hassle of navigating the Île-de-France region on your own by booking a tour that includes round-trip transport between your Paris hotel and the Disney® theme park.

Experience both Disneyland® Park and Walt Disney Studios® Park with a 2-park hopper ticket that allows you to hop between the parks as often as you’d like—you’ll double the fun with additional thrilling rides and things to do. Disneyland® Park offers five themed lands to explore (Main Street, U.S.A., Frontierland, Adventureland, Fantasyland, and Discoveryland). Meanwhile, Walt Disney Studios® Park is all about movie magic and television, featuring four studio lots (Production Courtyard, Toon Studio, Backlot, and Front Lot), a variety of shows, and behind-the-scenes studio tram tours.

Avoid long lines with free FASTPASS® tickets to the park's most popular rides, including Space Mountain: Mission 2 and Indiana Jones and the Temple of Peril at Disneyland® Park and The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror™ at Walt Disney Studios® Park. To get a FASTPASS®, insert your park ticket into one of the machines at the ride entrance. You’ll receive a ticket indicating a time slot, and if you return within that time frame, you can bypass the standard line for the far shorter FASTPASS® line. These tickets can only be issued for one attraction at a time.

The Disney® park is open late through the summer months, and staying until closing time is worthwhile—especially for the spectacular nighttime Disney Illuminations® light and color show at Sleeping Beauty Castle in Fantasyland.
