As with most theme parks, there are so many different places to buy tickets for Disneyland Paris, and multiple discounts and combos to choose from. It can be confusing to find the best value tickets for your trip. I’m here to help you find those all important cheap Disneyland Paris tickets!

The basics

The first thing to note is that Disneyland Paris is a resort which actually has 2 theme parks – Disneyland Park and Walt Disney Studios (soon to be known as Disney Adventure World).
Alongside these 2 parks, there’s also a free-to-enter shopping district called Disney Village, which has restaurants and shopping available, and is open to the public – no ticket is required for this.

Types of tickets at Disneyland Paris

Disneyland Paris offer 2 types of tickets – Dated or Undated.

Undated tickets, although they offer massive flexibility, are very expensive.
Yes, you can visit the park on any day of your choice (as long as it isn’t already sold out!), but the price is very high.

Undated tickets really aren’t the way to go with money saving in mind. Let’s take a look at Dated tickets!

This is asking you how many parks you want access to in a single day.
If you choose “1 park“, once you use the ticket to enter one of the parks, it will only allow you access to that park for the rest of the day. If you choose “2 parks” however, you can walk across to the other park during the day as you have access to both all day. These ‘2 park’ tickets used to be known as a hopper pass.

ℹ️ It’s important to note that tickets for both Disneyland Park and Walt Disney Studios at Disneyland Paris are actually the same price. What makes a difference however is if you want access to both parks on a given day, or just one of them.

Should I choose ‘1 Park’ or ‘2 Parks’?

Really this depends on how you want to go about your visit, and how you want to split your time. But if we look at prices alone…

Let’s have a look at the 17th June for example to compare prices.

If we for example had a 3 day visit, and choose the 1 Park option, so we’d be doing 2 days in Disneyland Park and one in Walt Disney Studios, this would come to a total of £201.

If on the other hand I chose the 2 park option for 3 days, this would come to a total of £223. So it’s £22 cheaper to restrict yourself to 1 park per day.

For a 2 day trip, this would equate to £134 vs £162.
And for a 4 day trip this would be £268 vs £263.

So the longer you’re staying, the less difference it makes. If you’re only visiting for one or two days however, it’s cheaper to choose one park over two.

💭 My advice?

Really I think it depends on how many park days you want in your visit.

One day – I’d recommend buying a 2 park ticket and doing both parks in the day.

Two days – I’d recommend having 1 day in each park, so buy 2 ‘1 Park’ tickets and do a park each day. This will work out quite a bit cheaper.

Three days – The price difference is now quite small, but I’d still recommend buying separate tickets for each park. I’d buy 3 ‘1 Park’ tickets, then spend 2 days in Disneyland Park and 1 in Disney Studios.

Four days – If you’re visiting the parks for 4 days in a row, there is little difference in the pricing between the ticket options. I would recommend buying the ‘2 Parks’ ticket to give you maximum flexibility for your visit for not a lot more money.

The time of year

Now really this is the crunch.

No matter how you arrange your trip with all the above ‘1 park’ / ‘2 park’ stuff – the price differences between high season and off season really blow all of that out of the water.

Ticket prices peak around the end of July and early August at about £92 for a single day, and they are lowest around January and February at around £52.

Other good times of year when the weather is a bit more favourable and prices are reasonable are September and March when tickets are around £60.

Disney packages

If you have your heart set on staying at a Disney owned hotel or resort, they do offer some good savings when booking the accommodation, tickets and dining all together. Staying at Disney certainly isn’t cheap by any means, but booking a package is definitely cheaper than booking on-site accommodation and tickets separately.

Tickets from other providers?

There are plenty of third party ticket sellers out there who have their own deals and combos available, for varying prices.

Travel Agents are able to purchase tickets in bulk and sell them on to their customers along with their own services for often the same prices as are offered by the attractions themselves.

During my research, I found that AttractionTickets.com offered slightly cheaper tickets than the official Disney website on most days, and they occasionally offer little freebies and bonuses like free or discounted food items when inside the park. I’m in no way affiliated with them, but I’d consider comparing prices between them and Disney direct next time I book to see if I can save a few £ !

Conclusion…

You can find the cheapest Disneyland Paris tickets by following these rules of thumb;

• Use non-Disney accommodation, for example one of the many budget hotels in Valle d’Europe, or the Villages of Nature Resort if you want to splash out a little.
• Try to buy the theme park tickets 6 months in advance of your visit, as Disney use surge pricing to increase the prices on days that have more demand.
• Buy (or at least compare prices for) tickets from reputable third party ticket sellers – I’d recommend AttractionTickets.com – as these can often be a few £ cheaper than the official Disney website.
• Try to visit in the low season, avoiding school holidays and summer time. January and February are the cheapest times to visit Disneyland Paris, but September and March are also on the lower end of the price scale and should have better weather!
• Unless you’re having more than 3 park days, buy a ‘1 park’ ticket per day (in advance) and spend each park day in a single park. Park hopping (using the ‘2 park’ tickets) are more expensive unless you’re going for 4 or more days when the price evens out.
