History of Disneyland Park

Since 1992, Walt Disney’s Magic Kingdom arrived on the European continent (former name: Euro Disney). Many tourists visiting Europe and passing through Paris do not fail to explore the kingdom of Disneyland Paris. It has become Europe’s top tourist destination and welcomed nearly 10 million visitors in 2018. Located just over 40 km from the center of Paris, the theme parks at this Disney resort leave anyone enchanted by its beauty and charm. Getting to Disneyland Paris is very convenient and quick, as there are shuttle transfers from international airports and if you are already in Paris, you only need to take one train line that will take you directly to the magical world. The train station is right across the street from the entrance to the resort and the parks, resorts and attractions are very close, so you can visit everything in one day. However, it is ideal to stay one to three nights at one of the Disney hotels or a partner hotel, as they all offer free shuttles to the parks.

Best time to visit

Ideally, you should schedule your visit in the spring, summer or even mid-fall, as winter temperatures are very cold and some days it may even snow. Although most of the attractions are closed, walking around the park with temperatures sometimes below 0ºC and seeing the parade or show you were expecting cancelled is not at all charming. The best season is spring, because there is the garden festival with beautiful flower sculptures throughout the park and the lines are shorter than in summer.

Best days of the week

If you want to visit the less crowded parks, where the number of visitors is reduced, choose the middle of the week, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Except during the French school vacations!

Park attractions

Similar in architecture to Magic Kingdom, the park features a central plaza with the beautiful castle of Princess Aurora, better known as Sleeping Beauty, and central trails connecting to the other areas of the park.
