FAQs

How many days do you need at Disneyland Paris?

Two to three days lets you properly cover both Disneyland Park and Walt Disney Studios Park without rushing. If you're staying on-site, an extra half day either side is handy for early park entry and unpacking without the pressure of a tight itinerary. Three to four nights is the sweet spot for most of our bookers, giving you time to cover both parks properly.

What's included in a Disneyland Paris holiday?

A typical Thomas Cook Disneyland Paris break combines flights and a hotel stay in one booking, with park tickets added separately. Perks like early park entry vary by hotel, so it's worth checking what's included before you compare prices elsewhere.

Favourites include Dream Castle Hotel and Explorers Hotel, both a short walk or shuttle ride from the parks.

Is Disneyland Paris good for younger children?

Absolutely – Disneyland Paris is built with families in mind, from height-appropriate rides in Fantasyland to character meet-and-greets and parades timed for younger attention spans. Many of the on-site hotels also offer family rooms and kids' clubs.

What's the best time of year to go to Disneyland Paris?

Term-time visits (outside school holidays) mean shorter queues and a calmer atmosphere, while December brings festive decorations and events if you don't mind the crowds. Shoulder months like May and September tend to offer a good balance of weather and quieter parks. August tops the booking charts for Disneyland Paris, but April and May are worth a look too – same magic, fewer queues.

How do you get to Disneyland Paris from the UK?

You can fly direct to Paris (CDG, ORY or BVA) from airports across the UK – including Manchester, Birmingham and Edinburgh – making it an easy option for families outside the South East as well as those closer to London.
