A non-Disney hotel instead of a Disney Hotel
Many visitors are set on staying at one of the Disney Hotels, which certainly has some advantages. However, if you want to spend as little money as possible on your holiday, you should stay in a non-Disney hotel. Of course, you’ll still need tickets for Disneyland Paris. There’s a wide selection of really affordable hotels in the immediate vicinity of the resort. You can find an overview in the dlp.info travel guide under “Other hotels near Disneyland”.
Annual Pass
Would you like to visit Disneyland Paris for more than three days, or are you planning another visit later in the year? Then you should take a closer look at annual passes, as they can save you a significant amount on park admission compared with buying individual tickets. An annual pass for Disneyland Paris also gives you numerous discounts in shops and restaurants.
Choose a travel date outside peak season
During peak season, particularly in the summer months and at Christmas, holidays are usually especially expensive, not just at Disneyland. If you can, choose a travel date outside peak season to save money when booking a hotel or a package holiday. Here you’ll find information on when to visit.

Food and Drink at Disneyland Paris
Money-saving tips
Of course, you’ll need something to eat now and then, and the food selection at Disneyland is very good, but it does come at a price.
- Take a few small snacks with you into the park: apples, biscuits and muesli bars are all good options for when you get a little hungry between meals.
- You can also take a small bottle of water with you into the park and refill it at the drinking fountains located throughout the park, rather than having to keep buying soft drinks. Make sure you choose a plastic bottle, though, as glass bottles are prohibited.
You don’t need to worry about having this kind of food taken away from you at the park entrance. Disney only prohibits a “picnic”, meaning larger quantities of food and cool bags. You can take smaller snacks and something to drink into the parks without any problems.
Meal Plans
Do you like to eat out, not just in the evening but perhaps at lunchtime as well? Then it may be worth booking half-board or full-board in advance. That way, you’ll know your food and drink costs from the start. Even better, of course, is finding an offer that includes half-board!
Apartments
Many hotels in the immediate vicinity of Disneyland, as well as Disney’s Davy Crockett Ranch and Villages Nature Paris, have rooms with a kitchenette. You can prepare your own food there and save quite a bit compared with eating at a restaurant. You can buy groceries, for example, at Auchan, a huge supermarket in the Val d’Europe shopping centre. You can also pick up a few essentials at the shop at the Esso petrol station by the exit of Hotel Santa Fe or at the shop in Marne-la-Vallée/Chessy station, directly in front of the entrance to Disneyland Park.
Souvenirs & Shopping
- Set yourself a budget for souvenirs before your trip. With a bit of self-discipline, this will help you avoid running out of spending money too quickly. You should do the same if you’re travelling with children. Decide in advance how much the kids are allowed to spend and make this very clear to them. This can help avoid stress and tears.
- Avoid shopping around park closing time, when the shops are at their busiest and most hectic. In that atmosphere, it’s easy to be tempted into buying things you might later regret.
- The morning or early afternoon is the best time to shop, as the shops aren’t too busy and you can take your time looking at what’s on offer. If you don’t want to carry your purchases around with you all day, you can use the free Disney Shopping Service.
- It also makes sense not to go on a shopping spree as soon as you arrive. Take a look at what the different boutiques have to offer first, then decide what you really want to buy.
- If you’re travelling with children, bear in mind when planning your budget that they’ll probably want to take home a nice souvenir from Disneyland. Make it clear to them, however, that they can’t have everything and will need to choose one souvenir.
Save money on your journey to Disneyland
Use routes nationales instead of motorways
If you’re travelling by car, consider using France’s routes nationales instead of the motorways to avoid toll charges. The journey is usually about the same distance or only a few kilometres longer, so fuel consumption should not increase significantly.
Compare Eurostar and flight prices
If you’re travelling from the UK, booking Eurostar well in advance can make a considerable difference to the price. The cheapest fares are usually easier to find if you can travel outside the busiest times. From London, you can travel to Disneyland Paris with a change in Lille, or take Eurostar to Paris and continue by RER.
If you’re travelling from Ireland, compare flights from Dublin, Cork and Shannon to the different Paris airports. Don’t just look at the airfare: transfer costs from the airport to Disneyland Paris can make a noticeable difference to the total price of your journey.
You can find more information about travelling to Disneyland Paris by train here.
Take the TGV instead of the Magical Shuttle from Charles de Gaulle Airport
There is a direct TGV connection between Charles de Gaulle Airport and Disneyland Paris. The journey takes around 10 minutes, and the fare can be similar to or even lower than the Magical Shuttle, although prices vary considerably depending on the time of day. If you’re travelling with your family or a group of friends, booking a private shuttle can sometimes be the cheapest option.
A smart calculation: why a Disney hotel can be worth it
At first glance, Disney Hotels often seem more expensive than accommodation outside the resort. But if you take a closer look, the price soon becomes more reasonable. Admission tickets are usually included in the price of your stay, and you don’t have to pay parking fees either. You also benefit from perks such as Extra Magic Time, which allows you to enter the parks earlier, as well as being close to the attractions, with no additional travel or shuttle time.
Another advantage is that at Disney Hotels, you’re right in the middle of the Disney Bubble, surrounded by themed surroundings, music, décor and occasional encounters with Disney characters. This creates a consistent overall experience that goes well beyond simply staying the night.
So before dismissing a Disney Hotel as too expensive, take a closer look at what’s included. These official hotels offer different price categories and themes, from deluxe resorts to cosy, self-catering family accommodation:
- Disneyland Hotel – the iconic five-star hotel right at the park entrance, with exclusive service, luxurious surroundings and dining with Disney characters or princesses.
- Disney Hotel New York – The Art of Marvel, an elegant deluxe hotel with modern architecture, a Marvel art gallery and a central location on Lake Disney.
- Disney Hotel Newport Bay Club, a maritime resort inspired by the American East Coast, with indoor and outdoor pools and a location right on Lake Disney.
- Disney Sequoia Lodge, a rustic, cosy hotel with natural stone, wood and a large fireplace in the bar. It is particularly cosy in winter.
- Disney Hotel Cheyenne, a carefully themed Wild West hotel with Toy Story touches and plenty of charm.
- Disney Hotel Santa Fe, a colourful Cars-themed hotel with simple comforts.
- Disney Davy Crockett Ranch, cabins surrounded by greenery, with a kitchen, barbecue area and central swimming pool. A good option for families travelling by car.
