Accommodation
Which hotel to choose at Disneyland Paris?
The real question isn't "which hotel?" but "inside the Disney bubble or nearby?". Both make sense depending on your budget and the length of your stay. Here's what each offers, for whom, and how to decide.
Stay inside the Disney bubble
Official Disney hotels
from £165 (190 €)/ pers · hotel + 2-park tickets package
Nothing beats a night in one of the 7 themed hotels of Disneyland Paris to extend the magic and live the world of Walt Disney! All-inclusive stay (tickets + parks + half-board) or room-only, a Disney hotel is the priciest option but certainly the one with the most perks.
The themed Disney hotels are the closest to the parks: the Disneyland Hotel is even inside Disneyland Park itself!
- 2-park tickets included & early access
- 1h early access (Extra Magic Time)
- On foot or free shuttle
To save money
Hotels around the parks
from £164 (188 €)/ pers · hotel + tickets package
