Disney hotels: who are they for?
A Disney hotel is mostly worth it for proximity, themed atmosphere and Extra Magic Time, useful for doing two or three headline rides before the crowds. A free shuttle links the hotels to the parks. The closest are Disneyland Hotel, New York and Newport Bay Club; Santa Fe and Cheyenne are cheaper but further. A package with tickets included is often simpler for a family that wants to book everything at once, but compare it with a hotel alone plus tickets bought separately. See also Extra Magic Time and opening hours.
Partner hotels: the good compromise
Several hotels around the resort, including Dream Castle Hotel, Explorers Hotel or Adagio Val d'Europe, are linked to the parks by a free shuttle; some belong to the partner hotel programme, others do not. Off-season, a partner hotel or budget chain is around €75 to €120 a night for two according to recent guides; this is an indicative range, not a rate. There is no Extra Magic Time: do not factor it into your choice. To compare prices for your date, use Booking or your usual comparison site.
Val d'Europe and Serris: practical accommodation
Val d'Europe means a shopping centre, restaurants and apartments with a kitchen, one RER A stop from Chessy. The ideal choice for a stay of three nights or more, or for a family that cooks part of the time. Plan the RER A trip for each round trip, see metro and RER in Paris.
Paris or Disney: where to stay?
If Disneyland is only one stop of a Paris trip, stay in Paris and take the RER A (about 40 minutes). Our guide where to stay in Paris explains the districts. For a stay centred on the park with young children, sleeping on site avoids the round trips and the exit queues.
What to choose according to your trip?
| Your trip | Our advice |
|---|---|
| 1 day, from Paris | Stay in Paris, RER A |
| 2 days, family with young children | Close Disney hotel or partner with shuttle |
| 2 days, tight budget | Partner hotel or Val d'Europe |
| 3 days and more | Apartment in Val d'Europe or partner hotel |
| Birthday or honeymoon | Disneyland Hotel |
Pick a date, then compare the price of the all-in stay and of the hotel alone: see dated or flexible ticket so you do not pay more than needed.
