Discounts at Disneyland Resort ParisLAST UPDATE: 2/2/12 - MOST RECENT ADDITIONS ARE IN RED
Disneyland® Resort Paris (formerly EuroDisney) consists of Disneyland Park; Walt Disney Studios Park; six Disney-operated resort hotels: Disneyland Hotel, Hotel New York, Newport Bay Club, Sequoia Lodge, Hotel Cheyenne and Hotel Santa Fe; a campground called the Davy Crockett Ranch; and Disney Village, a shopping and dining district similar to Downtown Disney at the US resorts. I must admit that I was very surprised to learn how reasonably priced the packages at Disneyland Resort Paris can be. In general the prices are nowhere near what you'd pay to visit Walt Disney World. And remember, the package prices include your passes and breakfast! In addition, Disneyland Resort Paris offers various seasonal discounts on its hotel rooms, tickets and vacation packages. I list any current offers below. Jump to:
Special EventsDisney Halloween Festival The Halloween Festival is offered annually. (In 2011, the dates were 1 October - 31 October.) The park is decorated throughout. You can also enjoy various special after-hours parties. Details are usually released the summer prior. Disney Enchanted Christmas Christmas celebrations are held annually. (In 2011, the dates are 7 November - 8 January.) The park is decorated throughout, with spectacular illuminations at night, and special parades and shows are offered. Christmas season festivities include:
PackagesAll hotel stays at Disneyland Paris include Continental breakfast (pastries, yogurt, cold cuts, sliced cheeses, juice, coffee). While you can book just "room plus breakfast" and buy your tickets separately, you generally won't save much, if any, money by doing so. Disneyland Paris won't sell US residents a one-night package directly. (You can book a single night package at the Disneyland Paris hotels through Travelocity, though. Search for hotels in Marne-la-Valle, France.) Most people will want to buy at least a Classic Package, which consists of at least two nights' accommodations, daily breakfast, and unlimited entrance to the theme parks, or one of the package specials that run from time to time. The standard Classic Package includes:
*Except the Halloween Parties. **Disney's Davy Crockett Ranch, your continental breakfast is taken back to your cabin, while at Pierre & Vacances Residence Val d'Europe, breakfast is not included (available at the Residence with a supplement). ***Please note: there is no Disney Park shuttle bus to/from Disney's Davy Crockett Ranch. If you stay at Disney's Davy Crockett Ranch, you must have your own transport.
Package SpecialsPlease note: the specials below are for UK residents. The UK is the primary market for Disneyland Paris and the UK sales office offers the best deals. Links in the package specials below all go to the UK site. Jump to:

Non-Disney HotelsIn addition to the official Disney-operated hotels, there are other hotels that are nearby but not owned by Disney. Recommended Hotel
Official Partner HotelsDisneyland Resort Paris offers packages that include accommodations in its official Partner Hotels, but it is often cheaper to book them via the websites of the hotel owners. Obviously if you book directly with the hotel, you'll have to buy tickets separately.

Ticket DiscountsAdvance Purchase Discounts
Paris Visite Pass DiscountMouseSavers.com reader Scott H reports that the Paris Visite pass, which is a Paris Metro and RER train pass, gives you a 20% discount for a 1 Day / 2 Park ticket (admission to both Disneyland and the Walt Disney Studios) at the gate at Disneyland Paris. Scott points out that "the pass has two parts - the actual ticket and a sleeve holder that comes with it. You’ll need to sign and date both parts and present both for the discount. There is one discount per ticket so make sure everyone has both parts of the ticket when you go." The Paris Visite pass also offers many other tourist discounts. You can buy one in advance through this link. You’ll need the Zones 1-6 pass be able to take the train to Disneyland from Paris. (Disneyland is the last stop on the line.) Annual PassportsBe sure to see below for Annual Passport information and discounts! Half Board Meal PlansHalf Board Meal Plans offer up to a 10% saving in a variety of restaurants in the whole Resort. They are pre-paid meal vouchers valid at a variety of restaurants throughout the Resort for packages bought at a Disney Hotel (except the Disneyland Hotel). They're designed to help you budget your stay with savings of up to 10%, and give you the peace of mind that everything is pre-paid. You get one voucher per night stayed (for example a 3-night stay would include 3 meal vouchers per person) and each voucher is good for a lunch or dinner. Since breakfast is already included in the room rate, this gives you "half board." The vouchers are not valid on December 24th and 31st, so be aware if you plan to travel over the Christmas/New Year season. You can upgrade your Half Board Plan to include gourmet restaurants, the legendary Disney Character Dining, and Buffalo Wild West Dinner Show. If you buy a lower-level Half Board Plan and then decide to eat in a higher-level restaurant, the restaurant will apply the value of your voucher toward the meal. For full details, click here. Disney Village Restaurant OffersThere is a web page devoted to offers for the Disney Village on the French version of the Disneyland Resort Paris site. It is not available in English. If you can read French at all, it is worth looking at this page, as there are frequently valuable offers for the Disney Village restaurants, such as 20% off discount cards, free parking when you spend a certain amount at various restaurants, and more. (If you can't read French at all, you can try a translator such as Google Translate.) ParkingNormally the daily parking fee at the theme parks is €8 for a regular car.
RER Train from ParisYou can take the RER train direct from Paris to the Disneyland Resort Paris station. It's a super easy way to visit the Disney Parks if you're staying in Paris. You can buy your RER ticket at the station the day of your trip. Alternatively, consider a Paris Visite card, which combines an RER pass, Paris Metro pass and tourist discounts, including discounts on 1 Day / 2 Park Disneyland Paris tickets. You can buy one in advance through this link. You’ll need the Zones 1-6 pass be able to take the train to Disneyland from Paris. (Disneyland is the last stop on the line.) Eurostar Train from LondonEurostar is a very comfortable high-speed train between the UK and France that goes through the "Chunnel" (Channel Tunnel). A direct Eurostar train between London and Disneyland Resort Paris leaves London (departing from St. Pancras, Ashford and Ebbsfleet) in the late morning and returns from Disneyland Resort Paris to London in the evening daily. However, this train does not run on Tuesdays and Saturdays except during UK school holidays. The trip takes less than 3 hours each way. Other options are to take Eurostar from London to Disneyland Resort Paris with a change in Lille, or London to Paris and transfer to the regional RER train.
Annual Passport DiscountsThere are three types of Annual Passports at Disneyland Resort Paris: Francilien, Fantasy and Dream. All three offer various discounts in addition to admission. Those discounts are good enough that they may justify buying one Annual Passport for someone in your party, even if this will be a one-time vacation at Disneyland Resort Paris. Unfortunately the Annual Pass information on the official Disneyland Resort Paris website is hard to find and apparently only listed in French. The best resource in English for all the details on Annual Passes is an unofficial site called DLRP Magic. This site also has information about how to purchase an Annual Pass. Be sure to see below for information on additional savings when buying Annual Passports for multiple family members! Family Discounts on Annual PassportsYou can save 20% when you buy annual passports for a family of five or more. The passports must all be purchased from a ticket booth at the Disneyland Resort Paris theme parks at the same time, for persons in the same family who are all living at the same address. You must present ID for all members to prove that you are the same family. MouseSavers.com reader Amy O writes (in July 2007): "Disneyland Paris is currently running a promotion where kids under 7 are free. The Disney rep at the ticket counter at the park could not honor the free one-day pass for kids since we didn't stay at a Disney hotel, but instead offered free annual passes for our 2 kids under 7 if we purchased adult annual passes at any level. We were originally going to buy one-day/one-park tickets for our family (46 euros/adult and 38 euros/child) and instead purchased 2 adult basic annual passes (89 euros each with some blackout dates) that are good at both Disneyland and the Paris Studios park for a year and received 2 kids passes free!" I'm not sure if this is standard policy or if Amy just got lucky. In any case, it's worth inquiring! MouseSavers.com reader Marcus reports in May 2008, "We saw your site a few days ago before going to Disneyland Paris and saw your note regarding Amy O’s free child passes. We bought annual passes last year and were going to do the same this year. We told the rep. we wanted 3 passes (one for each of myself, my wife and our 3 year old son [who was free last year]). I mentioned there was an offer on whereby under 7s are free (referring to the hotel offer but not mentioning hotels as we weren’t in one of theirs) and she immediately said yes there was and that his pass was free and gave him the same pass as my wife which was a more expensive one – mine was just the cheapest pass as we can use hers for merchandise discounts and car parking etc., we didn’t need 2 of these. She did not, however, mention this until I did so it is possible this is a standard offer if you ask for it. So, thanks for this tip and it may be worth updating this on your site." Stockholder DiscountsStockholders in Euro Disney SCA (the company that owns Disneyland Resort Paris) can join the Shareholder's Club, which provides an extensive list of discounts including 15% off most tickets and Annual Passes, 10% off hotel rooms, 15% off at most table-service restaurants in the parks and hotels, 15% merchandise discounts and more. Each morning from 9 am to noon, Shareholders Club members can quietly start their visit with a light Continental breakfast at "Salon Mickey," at the entrance of Disneyland Park. Members are also invited to private events such as film screenings at the theme parks. If you own at least 20 shares of Euro Disney SCA, a two-year membership in the Shareholder's Club is free; if you own at least 5, but less than 20 shares, the cost is €30 for a two-year membership. (Note that as of 12/3/07, the stock was consolidated so that 100 shares became 1 share, making 5 or 20 of the new shares equivalent to 500 or 2000 of the old shares.) The stock is sold on the Paris and Brussels stock exchanges under ticker EDL.PA and can be purchased through many US brokers. Some discount brokers don't carry it. NHS DiscountsMouseSavers.com reader Simon C reports that anyone who works for the UK National Health Service (NHS) can use the site nhsdiscounts.com, which sometimes offers Disneyland Paris discounts.
