Everything You Need To Know If You're Planning A Trip To Disneyland Paris
Updated for 2025! Planning a trip to Disneyland Paris can feel a little overwhelming - especially if it’s your first visit. Whether you're new to Disney Parks or have experienced other Disney parks around the world, you’ll want to make sure your trip is memorable for all the right reasons. To help you make the most of your experience, we’ve created the ultimate guide to Disneyland Paris, covering everything you need to know. From how to get there (by car, train, the airport or Paris) to the best places to stay, how many days to spend in the parks, what to eat, what to pack and essential tips to help you plan the perfect Disneyland Paris trip. Let's explore!
Contents
What Do We Mean When We Say "Disneyland Paris"?
It's a common misconception that Disneyland Paris refers to just one theme park. In fact, Disneyland Paris is an entire resort destination that extends out of the theme parks. The resort is made up of 2 theme parks (the beautiful Disneyland Park and the ever-evolving Walt Disney Studios Park) as well as Disney Village, a shopping, dining and entertainment district.
Disneyland Paris is also is home to 7 official Disney Hotels, 8 Partner Hotels, a Nature Resort and even a golf course.
One of the best parts? The two theme parks, Disney Village and most of its official hotels are located within walking distance of one another, making it easy to explore the entire resort without needing transportation during your stay.
Where is Disneyland Paris?
You may be surprised to learn that Disneyland Paris isn't located in Paris (confusing right?) Disneyland Paris is actually about 20 miles east of the city in the town of Coupvray. While it's not in the city itself, getting to Disneyland Paris is easy, with great plane, train and road links.
How to Get to Disneyland Paris?
From Paris.
If you’re combining a trip to Paris with your visit to Disneyland Paris, getting to the resort is simple and there are several great transport options:
By Train: The RER A line (the thick red line on a metro map) takes you directly to Marne-la-Vallée, the station located right outside of Disneyland Paris' main gates. Trains run every 10 minutes, with tickets costing less than €10pp and the journey taking 35-45 minutes. It's a quick, affordable option that we highly recommend. (For more details, check out this step-by-step guide by Paris By Train.)
By Bus: A number of companies offer shuttle services between Paris and Disneyland Paris. They usually combine tickets and the shuttle ride, so this is a good option if you haven’t booked tickets yet. Disneyland Paris also offer their own shuttle bus service from the city. More information about the Disneyland Paris Express can be found here.
By Private Transfer: If you're a larger group or taking a lot of luggage, a private transfer may make for a smoother journey from the city. We recommend Prestige Private Transfer, with prices around €80 for a one way trip. We've used this company on several of our trips and have always had a great experience. Make sure to read the latest reviews of any company you choose before booking to make sure you've chosen a reputable service.
By Car: We wouldn’t recommend driving unless you’re already on a road trip through France. It is possible, but traffic in Paris can be hectic and you'll likely have no use for a car once you’re at Disneyland Paris. Taking the train or using a private transfer company are much simpler options.
From The UK
Disneyland Paris is a popular destination for Brits. It's our closest Disney resort and is easy to reach. If you're travelling from the UK, here are some convenient options to get to the magic:
By Plane: Flying is a popular and quick choice, with budget airlines offering great deals. London and Manchester offer a high number of daily flights to Charles De Gaulle airport (CDG) and flights also depart daily from Edinburgh, Birmingham and Bristol. We've flown with EasyJet from Manchester and found tickets as low as £25 each way. Note: Once you arrive at CDG, you will need a transfer to Disneyland Paris (more on transfer options below)
By Train: While Eurostar no longer offers a direct service from London St Pancras to Marne-la-Vallée, getting to Disneyland Paris by train is still an easy option. You’ll need to take a Eurostar train to either Paris Gare du Nord or Lille, then change to a TGV to Marne-la-Vallée. The entire journey takes around 3 hours and is a a comfortable ride. We recommend booking tickets in advance to get the best prices. If you’re traveling from further north in the UK, you’ll need to factor in the cost of getting to London first, which can add to the overall price. However, if you're travelling from London or the South of England, it’s a convenient and quick option.
By Car: We have driven to Disneyland Paris a number of times and recommend it if you are a confident driver. The journey is long, especially if you're coming from the north of England or further, but we like the flexibility of driving and having plenty of luggage space. The Eurotunnel crossing from Folkestone to Calais is quick (30 minutes) and affordable if booked in advance. Alternatively, you can take the ferry from Dover, but this will take longer. Once in France, it's a straightforward 3.5 hour drive on the toll road. Free parking is available at all Disneyland Paris hotels. Disneyland Paris' hotels offer free parking, which makes things simple when you arrive. (Read about our previous car journey and full review of the Eurotunnel here)
By Coach: Travelling by coach is a budget-friendly way to travel to Disneyland Paris, especially if you're not keen on driving. Magic Breaks offers coach holidays from 180 locations across England and Wales, including both transport and accommodation, making it a convenient all-in-one package. While we haven’t personally taken the coach, we have booked a hotel and ticket package through Magic Breaks before and had a good experience.
From Charles De Gaulle Airport (CDG)
If you're travelling by plane from the UK or the US, you're likely flying into Charles De Gaulle airport (CDG). This airport is located about 25 miles north of Disneyland Paris, so you'll need to arrange a transfer to the magic. There are a few options to choose from:
By Private Transfer: Our favourite way to travel from CDG is by private transfer. After the stress of the airport, it’s nice to have someone else take care of the rest of the journey. We’ve used Prestige Private Transfer before and would recommend them. A one way journey from CDG costs around €70 per vehicle (at the time of writing) and bookings can be made online. Make sure to read the latest reviews of any service before booking to ensure you're choosing a reputable company.
By Train: The TGV express train is the quickest method to get to Disneyland Paris, taking around 15 minutes to reach Marne-la-Vallée station (which is right by the park’s main gates). While the journey itself is quick, we have found the TGV doesn’t run very frequently, with some trains spaced over an hour apart. Tickets are affordable, ranging from €17.50 to €30 and need to be booked in advance. The TGV departs from the Terminal 2 train station, so if you arrive at Terminals 1 or 3, you may need to take a short shuttle bus ride to get to the train station.
By Bus (Magical Shuttle): For a more affordable option, you can take the Magical Shuttle, the official Disneyland Paris service. It costs €23 per adult each way and takes about 1 hour to get to Disneyland Paris, depending on your hotel. Shuttles run at least once per hour, though they don't run 24/7, so this may not be a good option if you have an early or late flight. For more details and book your tickets on the Magical Shuttle website.
By Car: We hired a car on our first Disneyland Paris trip, but we'd only recommend it if you're planning to explore more of France. The drive from CDG is straightforward, but once you're at Disneyland Paris, you probably won't need a car. A private transfer or the train are much simpler methods which we would recommend if you have the option.
From Orly Airport (ORY)
If you're flying from elsewhere in Europe, you'll likely be landing at Orly Airport (ORY). Orly is located about 25 miles west of Disneyland Paris, so you'll need to plan a transfer to the magic. There are a few options to choose from:
By Private Transfer: Our favourite transfer option from the airports is to book a private transfer. After the stress of the airport, it’s nice to be met by a driver and taken straight to your hotel. We have used Prestige Private Transfer on a couple of different trips and would recommend them. A one way journey from ORY costs around €80 per vehicle (at the time of writing) and you can make a booking online. Be sure to read the latest reviews of any service before you book to make sure you're choosing a reputable company.
By Train: If you’re familiar with the train system in Paris this can be a great way to travel between ORY and Disneyland Paris. The journey requires a Zone 1-5 ticket and involves a few station changes, so we wouldn’t recommend this option for first time visitors or for those with a lot of luggage. The journey takes around 1 hour in total and may work out cheaper than other transport options if you're comfortable navigating the metro and RER.
By Bus (Magical Shuttle): There are a number of companies offering shuttle transfers from ORY to Disneyland Paris, but Magical Shuttle is the only service approved by Disneyland Paris. Tickets cost €23 per adult each way, and the journey takes about 1 hour, depending on which hotel you’re staying in. Shuttles run about once per hour but don’t operate 24/7, so be sure to check the schedule if you have an early or late flight. You can find out more and book your tickets on the Magical Shuttle website.
By Car: Hiring a car is only a good choice if you’re planning to explore more of France aside from Disneyland Paris, as you probably won’t need a car once you're there. If Disneyland Paris is your main destination, we’d recommend sticking with a private transfer or the train for a smoother, stress-free journey.
Where to Stay?
OK, so you've planned out how you're going to arrive at Disneyland Paris, but where are you going to stay? Disneyland Paris offers 7 Disney Hotels to choose from as well as 8 Partner Hotels and 1 Nature Resort. The local town of Marne-la-Vallée is a popular area for those on a budget and wish to stay offsite in a hotel or Airbnb.
The Disney Hotels are fully operated by Disneyland Paris and have the benefit of being run by Disney Castmembers. These hotels come with a number of perks (as listed in our blog post here) The Disney Hotels include: Disneyland Hotel, Disney's Hotel New York - The Art of Marvel, Disney's Newport Bay Club, Disney's Sequoia Lodge, Disney's Hotel Cheyenne, Disney's Hotel Santa Fe & Disney's Davy Crockett Ranch.
When choosing which Disney Hotel is best for your party, you want to consider the cost, the theming and distance to the parks.
If you're not sure which hotel to choose, our personal recommendation for first time guests is Disney's Hotel Cheyenne. This is the first Disney Hotel we stayed in and the only one we have stayed in more than once. The theming is great here. Walking around this hotel feels like you're stepping into a western. The rooms are Toy Story themed, with Woody's Roundup touches throughout the room. The hotel underwent a huge renovation a few years ago and the rooms now feel more modern compared to some of the more expensive hotels such as Sequoia Lodge and Newport Bay. (Although a large refurbishment project has recently been announced for Sequoia Lodge) It's one of the more affordable Disney Hotels too and makes for a great stay.
(Update: We recently returned from a trip to Disneyland Paris and detailed our most up to date thoughts about Hotel Cheyenne in our trip report here - Update 2: We stayed here again on our trip in 2024 and our feelings are the same)
We would also highly recommend Hotel New York - The Art Of Marvel. It is one of the more expensive hotels to stay in, but if your budget can stretch to it and you're a huge Marvel fan, then it's definitely one you should consider.
The newly refurbished Disneyland Hotel is perfect for a special occasion. Overlooking the entrance to Disneyland Park, it offers both convenience and luxury. This beautiful hotel features elegantly reimagined royal-themed rooms and suites inspired by Disney princesses.
The Partner Hotels are associated with Disneyland Paris but are not operated by Disney. These hotels are further away from the parks (but all serviced by a free shuttle bus to and from the parks), but come with some of the same perks as the Disney Hotels. A full list of Disney's partner hotels can be found here
We have only stayed in one Partner Hotel, Adagio Marne-la-Vallée Val d'Europe back in 2015 but would recommend. This is the only Partner Hotel to have its own kitchenette, which is great if you're on a budget, as you can prepare some of your meals in your room and save some money. When we visited in 2015 the rooms were a little dated. But if you're planning on using your room as just a base and will be spending most of your time in the parks, this is a great option.
Another option for your trip is to not stay at Disneyland Paris and to book a stay in offsite accommodation. Marne-la-Vallée has a number of hotels and Airbnbs to choose from and is only a 30 minute walk, a shuttle ride or train journey away from the theme parks.
For more information about the different accommodation options at Disneyland Paris and the pros and cons of each of these options, check out our Disneyland Paris: Onsite vs Offsite blog post here
How Many Days Will You Need To Spend At Disneyland Paris?
If this is your first visit, we would highly recommend spending 3 or 4 whole days at Disneyland Paris. The 2 parks can be done in 2 days or even 1 day, but we would recommend a longer trip.
3 or 4 days will allow you to ride most, if not all, of the attractions, see the fireworks, the parade and the shows as well time to enjoy sit down meals and to peruse the shops and take it all at your own pace. If you're visiting in the high season (June - August & December) or soon after the new Frozen (opening 2026) opens, we would recommend 4 days to allow for the longer lines.
What To See & Do?
There is so much to do in Disneyland Paris, with dozens of rides and attractions, a number of different shows throughout the year, parades, fireworks and lots of shops. You can explore the Sleeping Beauty Castle, visit the dragon who lives beneath the castle and even take a balloon ride to see the resort from above. Take a look at a full list of attractions on the Disneyland Paris website here. We've picked out our top recommendations for you below.
If Disneyland Paris Is Your First Disney Park
If this is your first visit to any Disney Park then there are a few things we would highly recommend you add to your itinerary:
• Explore Sleeping Beauty's Castle & Visit The Dragon Below. Each Disney Park is home to a beautiful castle. Each park's castle is unique and Disneyland Paris' is considered by many as the prettiest castle of them all, so set some time aside to explore. Follow the staircase up inside and see the story of Sleeping Beauty told through detailed stained glass windows and gorgeous tapestries. Did you know you can also visit the dragon that lives beneath the castle? (look for the small sign on the castle "La Tanière du Dragon) This huge animatronic dragon is unique to Disneyland Paris and well worth a visit.
• Ride some of the classic Disney attractions. There are some attractions that have been included in a number, if not all, Disney Parks around the world. Big Thunder Mountain, It's A Small World, Tower Of Terror, Pirates of The Caribbean, Phantom Manor, Peter Pan & Space Mountain are among the most popular and most beloved attractions and worth adding to every Disney firs-timer's list.
• Meet Mickey Mouse. If you're up for something cute and fun, add meeting Mickey Mouse to your list of things to do. Mickey is one of our favourite character meets and always makes for some lovely pictures. Not everyone will be up for meeting the characters, but if you are, don't be embarrassed, just go for it.
• Grab A Mickey Shaped Snack. Mickey shaped snacks are a Disney Parks staple. From cookies to ice cream, beignets to sandwiches, there really is a Mickey-shaped version of every snack in Disneyland Paris. So make sure to pick up a snack or 2 to enjoy.
• Soak in the atmosphere. A big part of what makes a Disney Park special is the atmosphere, so make sure to grab a seat near the castle, pull out a mickey shaped snack and soak in the atmosphere. It's something a lot of first time visitors don't think to do, but we always make time to appreciate where we are.
• Watch Disney Stars On Parade. If you like Disney characters, make sure to set some time aside to watch Disney Stars on Parade. Once each day, Disney characters and performers make their way through Disneyland Park on colourful floats and dance to some very catchy music. To see the route the parade takes through the park click here
• Ride Attractions Exclusive To Disneyland Paris. Aside from the Disney classic rides, Disneyland Paris is home to some exclusive attractions which cannot be found in any other Disney Park including: Crush's Coaster, Alice's Curious Labyrinth, Casey Jnr, Indiana Jones and The Temple of Peril, RC Racer & (until recently) Ratatouille: The Adventure.
• Enjoy A Meal At One Of The Themed Restaurants. Disneyland Paris knows how to theme a restaurant, so make sure to include at least one Disney restaurant to your itinerary (more on dining at Disneyland Paris later) Bistrot Chez Rémy and Captain Jack's - Restaurant des Pirates are 2 of our favourite themed table service restaurants. If you're a Lion King fan, make sure to enjoy a quick service meal at Hakuna Matata or if you're looking for a 50's diner feel, make sure to check out Annette's. There are so many themed restaurants at Disneyland Paris to choose from. A full list of all the restaurants across the resort can be found here.
• Watch Disneyland Paris' Most Popular Shows. The shows Disneyland Paris have on at the moment are fantastic and have even won awards for their production value. Together: A Pixar Musical, Mickey and the Magician and The Lion King: Rhythms of the Pride Lands are all completely different and incredible! If you're new to the Disney Parks, you may not be aware that all shows and entertainment within the 2 theme parks are included in the price of your ticket, so set some time aside to watch the shows.
• Get A Good Spot To Watch The Fireworks. A trip to Disneyland Paris isn't complete without watching new nighttime show Disney Tales of Magic. Disney Tales of Magic is a spectacular firework show that takes place at park close, with drones, water effects and projections on the Sleeping Beauty Castle and along the buildings on Main Street USA.
If You've Visited Other Disney Parks Before.
If this is your first trip to Disneyland Paris BUT you have been to some of the other Disney Parks around the world, here are the things you do not want to miss.
• Explore Sleeping Beauty's Castle & Visit The Dragon Below. Sleeping Beauty's Castle in Disneyland Paris' is often described by many as the prettiest castle of all the Disney Parks, so set some time aside to explore. You can follow the staircase up inside of the castle and see the story of Sleeping Beauty told through beautiful stained glass windows and tapestries. You can also visit the dragon that lives beneath the castle? (look for the small sign on the castle "La Tanière du Dragon) This huge animatronic dragon is unique to Disneyland Paris and well worth a visit.
• Ride The Best Version of The Wildest Ride In The Wilderness. Disneyland Paris' version of Big Thunder Mountain is considered by many to be the best, so we highly recommend adding this to your list.
• Grab A Mickey Shaped Snack. Mickey shaped snacks are becoming more and more popular at Disneyland Paris and there are some great options to choose from. So make sure to pick up a snack or 2 to enjoy.
• Soak in the atmosphere. A big part of what makes Disneyland Paris special is the atmosphere. So make sure to grab a seat near the castle, pull out a mickey shaped snack and soak in the atmosphere. It's something a lot of visitors don't think to do, but we always make time to appreciate where we are.
• Watch Disney Stars On Parade. If you like the characters and parades, make sure to set some time aside to watch Disney Stars on Parade. The energy of the performers is great, the music is catchy and there are some rare characters too. To see the route the parade takes through the park click here
• Ride Attractions Exclusive To Disneyland Paris. Aside from the Disney classic rides, Disneyland Paris is home to some exclusive attractions which cannot be found in any other Disney Park including: Crush's Coaster, Alice's Curious Labyrinth, Casey Jnr, Indiana Jones and The Temple of Peril, RC Racer & (until recently) Ratatouille: The Adventure.
• Ride Attractions That Have A Unique Paris Twist. Disneyland Paris has added a unique twist to some popular park attractions and are well worth experiencing for yourself. For example, Phantom Manor (Paris's version of Haunted Mansion) underwent refurbishment in 2019 and now has a different backstory and extra scenes compared to its American counterpart. Star Wars Hyperspace Mountain is a more intense, Star Wars themed version of Space Mountain. This version has a Star Wars overlay, an intense launch sequence, inversions and corkscrews and is very different (some may say better) ride.
• Enjoy A Meal At One Of The Themed Restaurants. Disneyland Paris knows how to theme a restaurant, so make sure to include at least one Disney restaurant to your itinerary. Bistrot Chez Rémy and Captain Jack's - Restaurant des Pirates are 2 of our favourite themed table service restaurants. If you're a Lion King fan, make sure to enjoy a quick service meal at Hakuna Matata or if you're looking for a 50's diner feel, make sure to check out Annette's.

• Get A Good Spot To Watch The Fireworks. A trip to any Disney Park isn't complete without watching the fireworks. Disney Tales of Magic is an incredible new show which combines fireworks with drones, water effects and projections on the Sleeping Beauty castle along the buildings on Main Street USA.
Restaurants & Dining.
OK, so you know how to get to Disneyland Paris, you've decided where you're going to stay and you've even planned out a rough itinerary. But what are you going to eat? Did you know there are more than 60 places to eat and drink within the resort?! So where should you eat and what do you need to know about dining in Disneyland Paris?
Things To Know About Dining In Disneyland Paris
• Disneyland Paris is home to dozens of table service, buffet and quick service restaurants, as well as plenty of snack locations and bars. And it's not all the usual theme park offerings of burgers and hot dogs either (although you can still order these theme park classics). There's risottos, steaks, burritos, crepes, fish & chips, baguettes, salmon, chilli and so much more on the menu. Find a full list of what's available, including menus, here
• Whilst there is a lot of choice, dining at Disneyland Paris isn't cheap, so we recommend having a look through some of the menus in advance to give yourself an idea of price, especially if you're on a budget. If you'd prefer, you are able to bring your own food and drinks into Disneyland Paris and there is even a designated picnic area just outside the entrance to the theme parks.
• Disneyland Paris cater for different dietary restrictions and allergies, so you don't need to worry about what to eat. For more information on specific dietary requirements and what you need to do, please visit this page
• If you're staying in a Disney hotel you have the option to add a meal plan to your booking. A meal plan, in short, is where you pay for all your meals before your trip. Depending on where you would like to eat, a meal plan could even save you some money. To learn more about the meal plans and the different options available, visit the Disneyland Paris website here. We recently returned from a trip where we used a meal plan - find out how much money we saved in our trip report here
• How do you make dining reservations at Disneyland Paris? You can book a table at most table service and buffet restaurants 2 months before your visit (and we highly recommend that you do) The easiest way to do this is via the Disneyland Paris app (we found with the app, we could start making our dining reservations straight away) You can also make your reservations 2 months in advance over the phone, by calling Disneyland Paris (+33 1 60 30 40 50). Or you're able to book a table at the restaurant itself when you arrive or at your hotel's concierge desk, but note that some of the more popular restaurants will likely not have any spaces left.
Which Restaurants Should You Eat At?
With so many restaurants to choose from, it can be difficult to know which one to choose for you and your group. So we've broken it down into different categories and highlighted some of the most popular and our personal favourite restaurants.
Best For Theming.
Disneyland Paris knows how to theme a restaurant. If theming is something you're looking for, Bistrot Chez Rémy (pictured below), Toad Hall, Annette's Diner, Captain Jack's and Agrabah Café should be high on your list of restaurants. For die hard Disney fans, a trip to Disneyland Paris should also include a reservation for Walt's - An American Restaurant.
Best For Characters.
Would you like to enjoy a meal with some of your favourite characters? Start your day right with a buffet breakfast at Plaza Gardens and meet some fan favourite characters such as Mickey, Eeyore, Pinocchio and Goofy. Or if you want to dine with Disney royalty, book yourself in for a fancy lunch with the Princesses at Auberge de Cendrillon.
Best For Food.
If you're looking for the best food in Disneyland Paris, book yourself a table at one of the many buffet restaurants. Downtown restaurant at Hotel New York - Art of Marvel is our favourite restaurant in all of Disneyland Paris and Hunter's Grill at Disney's Sequoia Lodge Hotel has become a must do on every Disney trip - especially perfect for a winter trip.
If you're looking for the best food at table service meal, we recommend Walt's - An American Restaurant. The theming is everything here and the food fancy. The chilli and the lemon tart are among the best food we've had on Disney property.
Best For Budget.
If you're on a tight budget, the quick service restaurants are a great option. Cafe Hyperion, Toad Hall, Hakuna Matata and Earl of Sandwich are among our favourites and ones we have been to many times. The baguettes and Mickey shaped sandwiches are a great budget-friendly option for lunch and you can bring your own crisps, snacks and drinks to enjoy with them. For those looking for a very budget friendly place to eat, there's even a McDonalds located in Disney Village. If you would like to enjoy a table service meal, Rainforest Cafe and Annette's are two of our favourite less expensive table service restaurants and would highly recommend both.
What To Pack
If you're wondering what you need to bring with you to Disneyland Paris, we have written detailed blog posts specifically for this topic:
There are a few items that guest are not allowed to bring into Disneyland Paris. Find the most up to date list here
What Else Do You Need To Know?
OK, we're almost there (well done if you have made it this far!) there's just a few more things you should know:
• Priority Pass. If you or someone you are with has a disability or long term chronic disease, you may be eligible for a Priority Card or an Easy Access Card. A Priority Card gives priority (but non-immediate) access to the attractions, shows, parades, character meet and greets, restaurants and shop checkouts, meaning you can skip the queues. For more information on the Priority Card and Easy Access Card, including if you're eligible, visit the accessibility page on the Disneyland Paris website here.
• Premier Access. Premier Access is a new paid service which helps guests reduce their wait times at certain (not all) attractions. Premier Access One gives you an allotted time to visit one ride or attraction of your choice. You come back at the specified time, join a much smaller queue and jump on the ride within a few minutes. You can buy a maximum of 3 Disney Premier Access One per attraction per day. Premier Access Ultimate is a similar service, but is a one off payment that allows you to ride all Premier Access rides once without having to book a time slot. For more information on how Premier Access works including pricing and which attractions are included, visit the dedicated page on the Disneyland Paris website here
• Extra Magic Time. If you're staying in a Disney Hotel, you will have access to Extra Magic Time (EMT). EMT allows onsite guests and annual pass holders to enter both parks an hour before they open to other visitors. The big advantage to using EMT is the short wait times. Using EMT, we were able to walk straight on to ride Big Thunder Mountain twice and ride Hyper Space Mountain, Star Tours and Buzz with 0 minute wait times at a time of year where the crowds were large and the queues midday were 45-60 minutes for these attractions. We cannot guarantee this for every trip, but you can be sure to experience much lower crowds during EMT. So if you're planning your trip, book a Disney Hotel for your stay and make use of this massive perk.
• PhotoPass+. PhotoPass+ is a paid service which compiles all on-ride photos taken of you and your group throughout your trip as well as photos taken by the official Disneyland Paris photographers at different locations, chatacter meets and the new MagicShots locations. You are then able to download them all as high-quality digital image files which are yours to keep. For more information on PhotoPass+, visit the website here.
