Disneyland Paris brings together two theme parks with different experiences: Disneyland Park and Disney Adventure World. Start planning with what you want to do, then decide how many days to spend, which ticket to buy and where to stay. Booking before exploring the experiences could leave too little time for the things that matter most to you.
Getting to know the two parks
Disneyland Park is home to Sleeping Beauty Castle. Its five lands take you from classic fairy tales to the Wild West, adventure and space travel. Disney Adventure World brings together the worlds of Frozen, Marvel and Pixar. It is the current name of the park formerly known as Walt Disney Studios.
You do not need to decide which park is better: make a short list of experiences in each and choose a ticket that fits. If you only have one day, setting priorities becomes especially important.
Plan the trip one decision at a time
First, compare dates and transport alongside the full cost of accommodation and tickets. Then check what each booking option includes: a room, a package and a separate park ticket are not interchangeable products. The price of one night alone does not tell the whole story.
Finally, decide on restaurants and daily priorities. The official app lets you check the map, wait times and schedules. Use it to adjust your route while leaving room to rest and change your mind.
