In this post, I’m going to breakdown how much it costs to take a trip to Disneyland Paris in 2024. Disneyland Paris is a very convenient international Disney destination for US-based travelers, and it’s perfect if you’re looking to expand your horizons. Figuring out the exact costs can be a bit tricky, but we’re here to walk you through the steps to start budgeting for your next trip. Read on to learn about the costs of visiting Disneyland Paris in 2024!
About This Post
First, this isn’t a planning post. We have a Guide to Planning a Trip to Disneyland Paris if that’s what you’re looking for. This post is focused specifically on costs, though we do include some basic planning tips, like how many days to visit, that’s relevant to your costs.
I really enjoy writing these “how much does it cost…” posts. But I write them because while anyone can just pop open a resort website and price a package, there’s actually much more to the cost of a trip than what you’ll see on a website.
A theme park resort will quote you on a package of hotel and tickets, but they might not even have the best rates on those things. Some will include flights at exorbitantly high prices (and let me be clear, never book a flight through a theme park destination, and probably always book directly with the airline). And now some will include dining packages…but the math around these is messy, at best.
A trip to a place like Disneyland Paris for someone who lives outside of Europe is going to be a big deal. You probably won’t visit just Disneyland Paris (I have and will again, but it’s literally my job to do so). And there’s going to be huge variance depending on exactly how your trip comes together.
So while I’m really trying to provide a useful breakdown of the costs of a trip to Disneyland Paris in this post, keep in mind that things like dates, flight options, hotel choice and whether you spend two weeks or two days in Europe are going to play a huge role in getting to your final price.
Moreover, this post takes a different approach than some of my other “trip cost” posts. Particularly, instead of starting with a “baseline” cost and then doing separate budget / expensive selections, I’m going to go item-by-item, identifying budget, expensive, and baseline options. Then I’ll put it all together at the end.
Finally, this post converts Euro to USD at a rate of 1.10 USD per Euro. This is the rate as of publication, and since some expenses come in dollars already, it just makes sense to convert everything.
Cost of a Trip to Disneyland Paris - 2024 Summary
I already made you read through that lengthy intro, so I’ll at least give you a sneak peek at the final numbers here. Remember, you should really read the post in whole. But if you’re looking just for a number, here they are. These prices are for 3 full days at Disneyland Paris, including flights, trains to/from CDG airport, four hotel nights, Disney Premier Access (aka FastPass), and food and beverage. I’ve priced these out for families of 3, 4, and 5, and with “budget,” “baseline,” and “expensive” approaches to the trip…
Family of Three (2 Adults, 1 Child)
Budget - $3,737
Baseline - $6,424
Expensive - $12,427
Family of Four (3 Adults, 1 Child)
Budget - $4,756
Baseline - $8,292
Expensive - $15,520
Family of Five (3 Adults, 2 Children) (requires two hotel rooms)
Budget - $6,438
Baseline - $10,961
Expensive - $21,724
Outline of my Disneyland Paris baseline Trip
As always, I’ll build a trip around a family of four (two adults, one older kid, one younger kid) and provide prices for families of three and five along the way, too. Beyond that, you can use the methodology in this post to estimate your own costs.
Unlike other “cost of a trip” posts, I’m going to use a single set of dates and a single trip length for this post. The trip is going to depart late June 6 from the United States, land early June 7, spend full days June 8-10 at Disneyland Paris resort, and depart June 11. This is four nights and three full days at Disneyland Paris, plus one overnight plane ride.
There are two parks at Disneyland Paris, and three full days is more than enough to experience them. Two days, or even a single day, is fine for Disneyland Paris if you have more to do in Europe.
Generally, I wouldn’t recommend more than three full days at the resort. With a fourth day, consider taking the kids to Paris, maybe to the Eiffel Tower. (As fas as hotels, Disneyland Paris has easy access to/from CDG airport and to/from the Eiffel Tower, making it a fine based for a trip focused on the parks with one day in the city.)
Flights to Paris
Pricing from New York, I’m seeing the following prices per person roundtrip in economy for five-day trips:
February Nonstop — $536
February Connecting — $455
June Nonstop — $1125
June Connecting — $791
This is more or less what I’d expect. In business class, nonstop roundtrip, you’re looking at $2200 in February and $3300 in June.
Already, you can see the challenge this post faces. A family of four could spend $1820 taking connecting economy flights in February or $13,200 taking nonstop business class flights in June. Even nonstop economy in June will cost them $4500.
I’ll assume a budget family gets that $455 price to visit in February (their hotel will also be cheaper at this time). I’ll assume the baseline is to save and book a nonstop roundtrip economy flight in June, so $1125 per person. And for the expensive trip, I’ll assume they like business class but will work to find a deal or use points to keep their costs around $2200 per person.
Budget Trip - $455 per person on flights
Baseline Trip - $1125 per person on flights
Expensive Trip - $2200 per person on flights
Getting Between CDG and Disneyland Paris
CDG is the larger, more popular airport in Paris. It’s important to note that that some flights will go to Orly. It’s much more difficult / time consuming to get from Orly to Disneyland Paris, but you definitely will want to look at flights to each.
The fast train between CDG and Disneyland Paris takes 9 minutes and costs about $22 each way. For the purpose of this post, I’m going to assume you need this train roundtrip.
Budget Trip - $44 per person CDG to/from DLP
Baseline Trip - $44 per person CDG to/from DLP
Expensive Trip - $44 per person CDG to/from DLP
Disneyland Paris Packages
Okay. Disneyland Paris is actually not super simple when it comes to booking. I used to have a post about the different ways to put together a trip, and the different prices you’d see, but it honestly just became too challenging to maintain.
You can and probably should book a room + ticket package directly from Disneyland Paris. This is the simplest way to do it, and it’s usually not significantly more expensive than other options. In many case, it’s significantly cheaper than other options.
You also can book room only reservations for Disneyland Paris hotels, but you have to call and rates aren’t pre-published (and frankly don’t always make sense). If you did that, you could buy tickets separately, either from Disneyland Paris or from a third party.
You can book room only reservations on third party sites, but you’ll always have some risks with third party bookings. (Personally, I’ve never had anything go wrong using sites like Booking dot com and Expedia dot com.) Availability on these sites is spotty and inconsistent, too.
Since we’re going to be doing package bookings, we can’t do “per person” costs for this section. Instead, we have to produce nine total options (budget, baseline, expensive X families of 3, 4, and 5).
For the budget trip, I’m going to use Hotel Cheyenne. I’ve stayed at this hotel before and like it a lot. It’s about a 20-minute walk (via a path on Disney property) to the parks. This might not be ideal for our budget family, traveling in February, but budget travel has its downsides.
The Disneyland Paris website requires 5-day tickets for this 4-night stay. Now you’re thinking, “Surely I can beat this by booking the hotel separately and buying the 3-day tickets I need.” Except when you go to Expedia the hotel stay costs $1796, and the tickets cost around $300 per person on the Disneyland Paris website…so no, Disney’s packages actually are well-priced here.
For our families on a budget, these packages over our February dates come to:
Family of 3 - $1760
Family of 4 - $2096
Family of 5 - $3167 (requires second room)
Our baseline and expensive trips happen in June. For the baseline trip, I’m going to use a stay at Disney Sequoia Lodge. This is another hotel we’ve stayed at, and it’s only about 10 minutes from the parks. It’s slightly nicer than Hotel Cheyenne. For the baseline trip, the packages over the June dates come to:
Family of 3 - $1970
Family of 4 - $2317
Family of 5 - $3574 (requires second room)
For the expensive trip, we’ll just go YOLO and book a stay at Disneyland Hotel. This is the flagship hotel of the resort, located adjacent to the entrance to Disneyland Park. For what it’s worth, there are options, like the Hotel New York - Art of Marvel, priced between Disney Sequoia Lodge and Disneyland Hotel. For the expsneive trip, Here’s the pricing for our June dates at Disneyland Hotel:
Family of 3 - $4349
Family of 4 - $4697
Family of 5 - $8313 (requires second room)
Disney Premier Access
Disney Premier Access is the “skip the line” (aka FastPass) system at Disneyland Paris. It comes in two flavors, Disney Premier Access One (skip the line at one ride one time) and Disney Premier Access Ultimate (skip the line at 16 select attractions one time each).
The pricing for these varies, but we’ll pick rough averages for the purpose of this post. Disney Premier Access Ultimate costs around $150 per person per day. Disney Premier Access One costs around $15 per ride.
Our family on a budget will be fine without Premier Access. They’ve got three days in the park…in February (not exactly high season). They’ll spend $0.
As a baseline, let’s say you want to buy two rides per day. I think this is reasonable, though personally I’d aim for one the first day and go from there. This comes to $30 per person per day, or $90 per person over our 3-day trip.
For an expensive trip, I still can only justify one day of Disney Premier Access Ultimate. That’s $150 per person.
Budget Trip - $0 per person Premier Access
Baseline Trip - $90 per person Premier Access
Expensive Trip - $150 per person Premier Access
Food and Beverage Costs at Disneyland Paris
This is, by far, the most troublesome part of this post. Sure, flights are a headache, but at least you can just go to Google Flights, plug in some dates, and see your options. Dining is much more complicated.
For starters, Disneyland Paris does have dining packages. I’m not going anywhere near these, and I leave it up to you to determine whether they’re worth it or not. For me, flexibility will always rule the day when I’m at a theme park.
Disneyland Paris also has a few table service meals that might be worth your time, so I’ll budget for the baseline and expensive trips to include at least one table service meal.
As for meal count, I’m going to budget for lunch and dinner on arrival day, three meals per day (small breakfast, ordinary lunch, dinner) while in the parks, and a small breakfast on departure day. That’s a total of twelve meals per person.
I’ll assume the family on a budget sticks to quick service. Since there are four dinners, I think a reasonable baseline would be to have two table service dinners. And if you’re spending a bit more, you can do four table service dinners.
The Disneyland Paris restaurant menus are published online, so feel free to check my math. But here’s how the pricing for dining comes out:
Budget Trip - $184 per adult, $112 per child
Baseline Trip - $262 per adult, $153 per child
Expensive Trip - $351 per adult, $194 per child

Conclusions
A family of four is look at $5000 to $8000 to visit Disneyland Paris in 2024. This isn’t cheap, but it’s also not out of line with what you might spend to visit, say, Walt Disney World.
The big thing about this trip is just that you really should make it a part of a longer trip. Spend some time in Paris, at least. We’re also big fans of London, and Amsterdam is a joy with kids.
