Planning a Trip

Getting There -- The RER commuter express rail network (Line A) stops within walking distance of the park. Board the RER in Paris at Charles-de-Gaulle-Etoile, Châtelet-Les Halles, or Nation. Get off at Line A's last stop, Marne-la-Vallée/Chessy, 45 minutes from central Paris. The round-trip fare is 12€ ($16). Trains run daily, every 10 to 20 minutes from 5:30am to midnight.

Shuttle buses connect Orly and Charles de Gaulle airports with each hotel in the resort. Buses depart the airports every 30 to 45 minutes. One-way transport to the park from either airport is 14€ ($18) for adults, 12€ ($16) for children 3 to 11.

If you're driving, take A4 east from Paris and get off at Exit 14, DISNEYLAND PARIS. Parking begins at 8€ ($10) per day, but is free if you stay at one of the park hotels. A series of moving sidewalks speeds up pedestrian transit from parking areas to the park entrance.

Visitor Information -- All the hotels we recommend offer general information on the theme park. For details and reservations at any of its hotels, contact the Disneyland Paris Guest Relations Office, located in City Hall on Main Street, U.S.A. (tel. 01-60-30-60-53 in English, or 08-25-30-60-30 in French; www.disneylandparis.com). For information on Disneyland Paris and specific details on the many other attractions and monuments in the Ile de France and the rest of the country, contact the Maison du Tourisme, Disney Village (B.P. 77705), Marne-la-Vallée (tel. 01-60-43-33-33).

Admission -- Admission varies depending on the season. In peak season, a 1-day park ticket costs 44€ ($57) for adults, 36€ ($47) for children 3 to 12, free for children under 3; a 2-day park-hopper ticket is 95€ ($124) for adults, 78€ ($101) for kids; and a 3-day park-hopper ticket is 119€ ($155) for adults, 98€ ($127) for kids. Peak season is from mid-June to mid-September as well as Christmas and Easter weeks. Entrance to Disney Village is free, though there's usually a cover charge at the dance clubs.

Hours -- Hours vary throughout the year, but most frequently are 10am to 8pm. Be warned that autumn and winter hours vary the most; it depends on the weather. It's a good idea to phone ahead if you're contemplating a visit at this time.

Fast Pass Those Long Lines -- Disneyland Paris has instituted a program that's done well at the other parks. With the Fast Pass system, visitors to the various rides reserve a 1-hour time block. Within that block, the waiting is usually no more than 8 minutes.
