Tips: 

 

Tips for traveling to Disneyland Paris in your Camper 

  • Consider going off season 

  • Just a big car park at Disney itself, Motorhomes tend to park near the bud area. Cannot pre book I believe . Approx €45  

  •  You need to buy a parking ticket for each day there. Before 10am 

  • Consider using a local campsite and travel in, but book campsite and Disney tickets early. Lots of travel options to and from Disney 

  • Download the Disney app. 

  • Plan your day if only going for one day 

  • Get in early 

  • Check out some of the Disney related Facebook groups for latest info. 

  • Measure kids height before going and know which rides they rare allowed on. Details on app. 

  • Val de Europe next to Disney for shopping
