Disneyland Paris is the most visited theme park resort in Europe, two parks, Disneyland Park with its pink Sleeping Beauty Castle and Walt Disney Studios, just east of Paris and easily reached by train. Immersive, magical and huge, it is the continent's ultimate family destination, with the classic rides, parades and fireworks in a European setting.

What you actually see

  • Sleeping Beauty Castle - the pink fairy-tale castle at the park's heart.
  • The classic rides - Pirates of the Caribbean, Big Thunder Mountain and more.
  • Walt Disney Studios - the second park of film-themed rides and shows.
  • Parades and fireworks - the daytime parade and the nightly castle show.

When to go

Spring and autumn for milder weather and thinner crowds; summer and school holidays are busiest, winter magical with festive decorations. Weekdays are calmer than weekends.

Honest expectations

It is expensive and busy, with ticket tiers, and queues can be long without paid line-skipping. It is an easy train ride from Paris, so it can be a day trip. It rewards families who plan and arrive early.

Nearby

Central Paris is forty minutes by RER train; the Val d'Europe shopping and the town spread around.
