Disneyland Paris from central Paris: tickets, the RER A, and when a package is worth it

💡 The Short Version: Buy your ticket before you go. Disneyland Paris sells tickets at the gate only for cash, holiday vouchers or gift cards, and only when it is not full; the gate price is €129 for an adult for one park, €164 for both. Its online tickets are priced by date, and a dated ticket can be cancelled up to 3 days before; an undated one needs your visit date registered in advance. The RER A runs to Marne-la-Vallée–Chessy, at the park gates, in about 35 minutes from Nation. The parks open every day, with hours that change by date. Or book on GetYourGuide: the 1-day ticketad is from £44.57 (4.6 stars from 59,155 reviews), and tickets with a shuttle from central Parisad from £116.57. Disney refunds the difference if you find its same ticket cheaper within 24 hours, so check its price for your date too.

Getting there on your own

From Disneyland Paris’s own travel pages, 30 September 2026:

• The RER A runs through Charles de Gaulle–Étoile, Auber, Châtelet-Les-Halles, Gare de Lyon and Nation; take a train for Marne-la-Vallée–Chessy, the end of its eastern branch.
• The fare: one €2.55 Métro-Train-RER ticket each way, bought on your phone or loaded on a Navigo Easy card (€2.05); paper tickets are no longer sold. See Paris metro tickets.
• The station is at the gates: the Marne-la-Vallée–Chessy station is right at the entrance to the parks and two minutes from the Disney hotels.

The official tickets

From Disneyland Paris’s ticket pages, 30 September 2026:

• Buy before you go. Tickets are not sold at the park entrance, except for cash, holiday vouchers or gift cards, and then only if the parks have not reached capacity that day. Without a ticket bought in advance you may be turned away.
• Dated tickets are for a set day and can be cancelled and refunded up to 3 days before it. Once the parks reach capacity for a date, no more dated tickets are sold for it.
• Undated tickets are valid for a year, but you must register your visit date in advance to get in, subject to availability.
• Children aged 3 to 11 pay the child price; under-3s go free.
• Price match: book on Disney’s UK site, and if you find the same ticket cheaper in pounds within 24 hours, for the same parks, dates, guests and cancellation terms, Disney refunds the difference. Claim within 72 hours.

The gate prices, for those who can buy at the entrance:

On 14 July the gate price is €21 more for an adult and €20 more for a child.

On the day

• Two parks: Disneyland Park, with the castle, and Disney Adventure World next to it. A 1-day ticket is for one park or both; from two days, both are included.
• Hours: the parks open every day of the year, but the times change with the season and the date. Check the park hours calendar for your day.
• Arrive early: Disney suggests arriving about 30 minutes before opening to get through security.
• Staying at a Disney hotel gets you into the parks before the official opening, and needs no date registration.
