Browse Tickets & PackagesWhy Visit Disneyland Paris?
Two distinct parks—Disneyland Park (fairy-tale lands and the iconic castle) and Walt Disney Studios Park (Pixar, Marvel and filmmaking worlds)—plus parades, seasonal festivals, character meets and nighttime spectaculars. It’s a full-day (or multi-day) experience for families and fans alike.
French Touches
From stained-glass inside Sleeping Beauty Castle to Parisian streets in Ratatouille: The Adventure, the resort leans into local craft and style.
Easy Access
Direct RER A trains to Marne-la-Vallée – Chessy; gates are steps from the station. Day trips from central Paris are straightforward.

What Makes It Unique
An animatronic dragon sleeps under the castle, Phantom Manor retells a darker Western lore, and Hyperspace Mountain launches you via a Jules Verne-style cannon—touches you won’t find the same way elsewhere.
