UPDATED: November 2023
Hi there, traveler, and welcome! Below you will find a comparison table showing an overview of all the different prices by the official site and re-sellers companies (a quick answer is coming soon (check the “In a hurry section” and all the nitty-gritty details about how I calculated it are below in the post). While you might not specifically get to save any money, the sites offer different policies that might work better for you.
NOTE: For simplicity, I am only comparing the prices for 1 day/2 parks adult dated tickets (there are many variations, I will talk about it later). Generally, if one type of ticket is cheaper, then it is safe to say that all the other types of tickets will also be cheaper on the same website!
If you are in a hurry
As I mentioned, Disney made it pretty complicated with all the pricing options for different ticket types and dates, but I try to make sure this post is updated with the current cheapest price (I look all over the internet including French sites! 🙂 ).
Currently, all the ticket prices, whether on the official or re-sellers sites, are the same, and they all have a cancellation policy of 3 days in advance.
However, there is one significant difference between the official website and the rest, and that is their rescheduling policy.
Namely, if you buy your ticket from Disneyland’s official site you won’t be able to change the dates on it. If you want to do so, you must first cancel your original ticket, and then purchase a new one for the other dates if available.
Unlike the official website, if you purchase your ticket via Tiqets you’ll have the opportunity to reschedule it until 72 hours before the date of your visit.
Apart from being able to reschedule, Tiqets also has amazing customer service. You can contact them at any time when you have questions or when you want to make changes and they’re extremely helpful and quick.
Additionally, you can combine the entry ticket with a transportation option if you are staying somewhere in Paris and you need an easy and affordable way to get to Disneyland.
(thus, check the color-coded calendar below)
Here is a color-coded calendar with all the dates up until October 2024. This should help you easily visualize the prices for your preferred dates. You can also see the color-coded prices below the calendar.
So, long story short – if you want flexibility with your cancellation policy, then book your ticket via the Tiqets site (you can cancel and reschedule your tickets 3 days before your visit).
If you are going during off-season working days, then Access-ce provides the cheapest option, but I have to warn you – I have never used this website myself (though it seems legit) and there is no cancellation available.
Here are the best ways to find those cheap Disney deals one by one in detail:
1. On the Disney website
Except for their really complicated pricing according to the dates system, buying tickets on the official website is very straightforward and can also be the cheapest sometimes. The site is fully in English and the interface is quite intuitive.
Here is how to buy it –
- Go to the official website -> Click “Tickets and Packages” – “Park Tickets”
- Choose “Dated” or “Undated” -> (NOTE: Dated is cheaper, Undated can be used on any date including holidays, but you still need to reserve your spot in advance and you can only get an Undated ticket for 1 day)
- Choose how many parks (there is a toggle) – 1 Day 1 Park only allows you to go to one park (the 2 parks are actually together: the big one is called Disneyland Park and the small one is Walt Disney Studios Park (only need to spend half a day in it, in my opinion). If you decide to go for 1 park only then definitely choose the big one. Still, I HIGHLY recommend getting a ticket for 2 parks, even if you only have a day – you will probably miss a couple of rides, but it is doable in a day + the small one has some cool rides that I would not want you to miss (Ratatouille and the Tower of Terror are just wow!)
- Choose how many days (the more the cheaper, but it is always up to your availability). Here’s a color-coded calendar with color-coded prices to help you choose the best option for you.
- Choose your date (assuming you chose the “Dated” ticket).
- Choose how many adults and kids (3-11 y.o.) are going. Kids under 3 do not need a ticket or a reservation
- Press “Add to cart”, it will look something like this ->
- It will offer you some add-ons for different shows, choose them if you like, otherwise click “Continue”
- Fill in the information for all the guests (they say the tickets are not transferrable, but I honestly never saw them checking anyone’s IDs)
- Pay with your credit card, and you will receive your ticket with a special QR code by email, hooray!
That is it, just go directly to the gates with these tickets, no need to queue at the cash register!
NOTE: At the moment when this article is last updated (November 2023), the price is 89 EUR for 1 adult for a 1 day/2 parks BLUE ticket for 11 December 2023.
TIP: Check Disneyland Offers and Packages – sometimes Disneyland in Paris throws crazy promos that are cheaper than the regular prices!
ANOTHER TIP: If you are flexible with the dates, then you should check out the Disneyland, Paris price grid to see when it would be the best time to visit Disneyland, Paris at a low cost compared to other times!
NOTE: In case you bought your tickets through the official website, you can get your money back if you cancel at least 3 days in advance.
2. On Tiqets website
Tiqets is a great website I used many times to avoid the lines to many attractions in Paris. The great thing about buying your Disneyland tickets through this website is that they have much better policies and support compared to Disneyland.
Namely, Tiqets lets you:
- cancel your ticket at any time 3 days before your visit, no questions asked
- reschedule your ticket for any other available date 3 days before your visit
- talk to Customer service whenever you have a question, or need help canceling or rescheduling
- choose from several different payment options
- combine your entry ticket with other options
Here is how to get your ticket:
- Go to Tiqets ->
- Type “Disneyland Paris” in the search field or just follow this link – it should take you directly to the offer ->
- Choose your dates (let’s say we are going on the 20th of March, the Blue dates, official site price is 89EUR per person) ->
- Choose the type of ticket (1 Day 2 Parks for our example as usual) and how many people are going ->
- The rest is pretty simple: click “Go to the next step” and fill in your details – >
- All set, you will receive your ticket by email! (no need to print it, just show it from your phone when at the gate)
Your tickets are fully refundable if you cancel them at least 72 hours in advance.
3. On Attraction Tickets website (free Disney+ subscription)
If you cannot buy tickets on Tiqets or you really want that Disney+ subscription, you are in luck! I found another website that offers some decent additions to the Disneyland entry ticket.
If you buy a ticket from the Attraction Tickets website, you get a Disney+ subscription for free, nicccce! (Please follow the link to read the T&C, it has some limitations on which countries can get it)
So, let’s say we are buying our tickets for the 20th of March 2023, here is how to do it:
- Go to Attraction tickets and look for “Disneyland Paris” ->
- Switch to your preferred currency, choose your preferred ticket type (as usual, we are going to choose 1 Day/2 parks for the sake of the correct comparison) ->
- Choose your dates ->
- Choose the amount of adults and kids and click “Add to basket” ->
- It will add the Disney+ Subscription add-on to your cart automatically, click “Checkout”
- Fill in your details ->
- Voila, you are all done! (as usual, dated tickets do not require any prior reservations, so just have your QR-code/email ready when you are at the entrance to the park)
P.S. You can cancel 3 days in advance to get a full refund.
4. Other ways to save
Except for the reseller sites, here are a couple of more ways to save on your Disney ticket that you might not have though about:
- Check the promo page of the official site – as I said earlier, sometimes Disney throws really nice promos when you would be better off taking advantage of that directly
- Think about getting an Annual Pass – if you are planning to visit the park 3 or more times in a year, consider getting an Annual Pass. Not only it gives you cool perks like free parking, discounts for hotels, discounts in shops and restaurants, extra magic hours etc., it also allows to buy verrry discounted tickets for your loved ones. The price of the pass varies and starts from 229€ and the cheapest entrance ticket for your loved ones is 42€. More details about it here
- Check out current Hotel + Ticket packages – we almost don’t talk about the hotel option in this post as this would add another level of complexity to the comparison, but if you are going for a couple of days and you are looking for accommodation around the park, definitely check the packages! It might be cheaper or even a little more expensive than if you buy a hotel+tickets separate, but staying in a partner hotel is an experience by itself! By the way, I have a great post on Where to stay around Disneyland for your reference too!
- If you hold a disability document, you are eligible for a 25% discount (+ 25% off for an accompanying guest)
- There are military discounts too! If you are active and retired military personnel, your 2 Days-2 Parks ticket (that’s the only option) will be only ~37€, not bad!
- Pay Disneyland, Paris tickets with a monthly fee. This might not save you money per se, but it is a great way to be able to visit Disneyland if you aren’t able to afford the whole cost all at once.
PRO TIP: Want to save time and skip the lines to the most popular rides? (it can take hours for you to reach the actual ride, trust me!). It comes with the price, but if you can afford it, I can definitely recommend Fast Pass – an add-on that lets you skip the lines to specific rides inside the park.
NOTE: Keep in mind that, unfortunately Disneyland, Paris doesn’t offer student discounts on tickets.
5. Same date tickets
ATTENTION! You CANNOT BUY TICKETS AT THE GATE anymore BUT you can buy same-day tickets online on the Viator website!
According to my research, Viator is the only place where you can get cheaper tickets for the same day. On the official site, the same-day tickets cost 130EUR, but on Viator you can get them for 124EU, thus saving 6EUR!
I know of people who went all the way to Disney Gate just to turn around because they did not buy tickets online in advance. Now you just need a smartphone and an internet connection, yay! So, if they are not letting you buy the tickets at the gate, just buy your ticket online and show it to them. If you don’t have roaming on your phone, ask the security/front desk for the Wi-Fi, I am sure they will be able to help!
PRO TIP: If it is sold out there, try GetYourGuide, the price is exactly the same as on the official site! No savings, but hey, at least you get to go to the magic kingdom and not be turned around!
So, which ticket website is cheaper in the end?
So, as I said, if you are going to Disneyland in Paris for 1 day only, you should definitely get your ticket on Tiqets website – which allows you to cancel your tickets 3 days before you visit, but also lets you reschedule your ticket for another time – no questions asked!
If you need to get tickets for the same day, then head on to Viator which offers the cheapest same-day tickets available!
NOTE 2: In case you want to buy the Fastpass as well, you do not need to queue at the entrance of the park – you can buy it once you get inside!
BONUS 1: Fast pass explained
Fast pass was recently renamed to Premier Access and it is now 2 different types of passes. Let’s briefly talk about each of them and if it is worth it:
Disney Premier Access One gives you access to a single attraction at a time slot allocated to you – you can choose 1 ride you want to skip the line to and pay for it individually. It can be bought on the day in the Disney Parks or via the app, and costs between €9 and €18 per ride. You can currently do so for maximum 3 rides per person per day.
Disney Premier Access Ultimate gives you access to all eligible attractions in Disneyland Paris without specific time slots. It can be bought in advance or on the day and prices range from €90 to €190 per person depending on the season. PRO TIP: I do not recommend buying this one in advance because you cannot cancel this one, only change the dates.
Is the pass worth it? in short, if you have the budget for it – yess! You are going to save literally hours of your time in the magic kingdom not staying in those lines. If you can’t afford the Ultimate one, you can buy a pass for an individual ride right in the app (it will give you an allocated time for when you should come to the ride and skip those lines).
BONUS 2: BUYING 2 DAYS/2 PARKS VS BUYING 1 DAY/1 PARK TWICE
Some of the readers who were going to visit Disney for 2 days asked me if it is better to buy 1 day/1 park tickets twice because it usually ends up being cheaper if bought separate. While it might be indeed cheaper to get individual tickets for each day instead of the 2 days – 2 parks ticket, you will not actually trick the system.
Here is why: The main Disneyland Park is huge (you can count it as 1.5 parks), so you will definitely need more than one day to visit it properly, while Walt Disney Studios is smaller and can be easily done in half a day (so we can count it as 0.5 parks) aaaand it closes way earlier than its big brother – at 6 pm.
In my opinion, it is way better to buy the 2 days – 2 parks ticket and continue to the main Disney Park after you finish with the Disney Studios park on the same day. Buying individual tickets makes sense if you don’t have 2 full days anyway (only 1 and a half maybe) or if you have small kids, as Walt Disney Studios has simpler rides fit for infants so you might want to spend a full day there.
BONUS 3: Dated or undated ticket?
I know some of you will have that question, so here is my short explanation on the difference and which one to buy:
Dated tickets are tickets with a specific date on them. That means you can only use that ticket to enter the park on that particular date. These tickets are usually cheaper because you’re committing to visiting the park on a specific day. This helps Disneyland Paris plan for how many people will be in the park on any given day.
Undated tickets, on the other hand, do not have a specific date on them. You can use them to enter the park on any day within a validity period of a year from the date of purchase. These tickets offer more flexibility because you can decide when to visit the park. They’re usually a bit more expensive than dated tickets because of this flexibility.
Please note that undated tickets are non-refundable (though they have 1-year expiration date.
PRICE: We already spoke about different prices for the dated tickets above, as for the Undated one, it is 130€ for 1 day/2 parks.
IMPORTANT: If you have the Undated ticket, you NEED to book your visit in the app for your specific day before you arrive, if you do not have the confirmation, they will not let you in! You can book your visit up to 1 day in advance, but it has to also be available on the site here.
All in all, I would go for a Dated ticket because the Undated one is more expensive (130€) than the most expensive dated ticket (124€ for Christmas) and there is a chance you will not be able to go on the date you planned, you always need to check the availability in the Calendar.

Hello,
I wasn’t able to reach the 365tickets website, has the page changed or is there something wrong with the link?
Thank you for the information!
Hi Katelyn,
sadly, 365tickets did not survive the pandemic, they filed bankruptcy as far as I know. 🙁
Thanks for the reminder, I will update the article soon!
Hi Yulia!
It is excellent that you share your experience and knowledge with others. I read a few comments but it is impossible to read all. Quick question for you or anyone else who already visited Disneyland Paris:
Does the ticket price include also access to rides? I mean I saw that you can separately purchase FastPasses which give you access to rides but as far as I understood from their website that is, as its name says, for fats access, skipping queues, right? Or maybe wrong?
We are planing a visit on a weekday in mid-March and I was wondering if it is worth buying the FastPasses considering that maybe it won’t be too crowded.
Thank you in advance and keep up the great work!
Cristian
Hi!
The rides are included in the ticket! The fastpass does give you the option of skipping the que but for that you have to select a time slot where you’ll want to go on a ride and be there at that specific hour, you can’t skip the line whenever you want. This is not available for all the rides, but the most popular ones (therefore the ones that get crowded) have it.
The safest bet would be a fastpass, but it’s true that March is usually less crowded, so it should be fine without it too!
Many thanks Yulia! I wish you the best in everything you do. Cristian
Hey, exactly as per your guidance we booked tickets and it was around 30 euro cheaper than Disneyland website. Thanks for the money-saving tip;) I started reading your articles more. Keep spreading the knowledge. Cheers!
Fantastic info and tips Yulia!my family and I are off to Disneyland Paris next week and this would sure helps a lot.thanks a million!
Yulia,
You saved me a great deal of money. Thanks!
Does Disneyland Paris do Fireworks everyday all year long. We will be there September 17th, Tuesday. I’m really looking forward to the Fireworks. From what I’ve read it seems like they do, but I am curious if it’s like California and only in the weekends.
It’s everyday! 🙂
Thank you so much. We are taking the kids for the first time, from the UK.
I was getting so confused trying to put this trip together, you have made everything clear and I have saved money.
Thanks again! Now to sort out a train or ferry!
Just to add, If you have friends working in paris, they get a discounted ticket in their office(from their Work Council known as CE), so its better to check with them
thanks
Thanks for the info!
How discounted would it be, do you happen to know?
it depends from company to company, for 2019, my company gave me for 62 euro, valid for 1 Day 2 parcs, so equivalent of 107 euro gate price
Hello Yulia, greetings from Serbia.
I loved your post, thank you!
I have one question. I’m about to buy 2 tickets 1 Day, 2 Park Tickets, for July.
Before the purchase confirmation I can see what’s included – 1 day ticket for both Parks and free and unlimited access to all attractions, shows and parades.
But I can’t find anywhere if those tickets include FastPass or not.
If not, could you tell me the price for FastPasses inside the Park.
Hi, Marija! Thank you, I’m so glad my post has helped you!
First of all, I should mention that there are different types of Fastpasses and each of them has different prices.
The first one is the standard Fastpass, which is free and you can take it from the entrance of SOME attractions (you just need to insert your ticket in a machine and you will receive your fastpass ticket with a dedicated timeslot). The downside is that you can only have one standard fastpass ticket at a time, which means you cannot go and collect multiple fastpasses for all the attractions you want to visit and then return to enter directly, you can only do it for one at a time.
Next comes the Super Fastpass, which has 2 subcategories – one for Family attractions and one for Big Thrill attractions. The price for the Super Fastpass (regardless of which of the 2 options you choose) is currently £39,58 during high season.
And the last one is the Ultimate Fastpass, which has two subcategories as well:
– Ultimate Fastpass with one time access per attraction – £79,16 during high season
– Ultimate Fastpass with unlimited entires per attraction – £131,93 during high season
You can find more details about the Fastpass prices here.
I hope this helps, have a great time at Disneyland! 🙂
Hi yulia,
We have bought our disney park ticket already. We are planning to buy the ultimate fastpass ticket as well. Do we have to purchase it at the entrance gate? Or is there any way we can buy it inside the park to avoid the queuing?
Thats a good question, maybe I should add that to the post too – you will buy the fast pass INSIDE the park, right after you enter, so there is no need to stay in the line (just ask the ticket controller where is the cash register, I believe it was on the right right after you enter, but they might have changed it meanwhile)
Thank you so much for posting this, it came just at the right time for us as we are planning a 1 day trip to Disneyland in July. We used Voyagin and saved around £22 on our 1 day, 1 park tickets. I can spend the money saved on a trip to see Versailles now! One very happy mummy of 2! Between being on maternity leave and heading towards self employment in the future any savings, big or small make a massive difference. I would never have heard of that website if it wasn’t for your blog! xxx
You are welcome Gemma!
i am updating this post regularly and I am always in search for the best sites to save money on tickets for you guys!
I want to visit Disney land paris with two kids 28th june to 30th june, have to back to uk on 30th june, please let me cheapest way to go threre and come back, including travel uk to paris, visit Disney land and back to uk
Hi, Momina!
Congrats for going to Disneyland! 🙂 There are 3 solutions I can suggest to you for those exact dates, so that you can get directly from the UK to Disneyland:
– taking a train from the UK (I checked for London) to Marne la Vallée Chessy, which is the train station located right near Disneyland Paris. The ride is 3 hours long (you might have to change one time, though, depending on the ticket you choose) and the price is around 150€ one-way for your dates per person, which is not super cheap. You can check the available tickets here.
– searching for a flight might actually be a biiiit cheaper than the train, actually (250€ roundtrip)! I always use Skyscanner, it’s the website where I find the cheapest fares. But keep in mind that you will also have to take a train or bus from the airport to Disneyland.
– last but not least, the cheapest option I could find is taking a bus (Eurolines) from London to Marne la Vallée Chessy. It is 130€ roundtrip for your dates per person. This also takes the longest (around 9h) and you will also have to change the bus one time. You can check the available tickets here and you can purchase them online as well.
I hope this helps and that you will have a great trip to Disneyland with the little ones! 🙂
P.S.: Buying the tickets in advance gets you cheaper fares!
We are staying near the Moulin Rouge and I notice that on the Disney site they have tickets on sale that include transfers from Paris. But obviously that’s a more expensive option, would it be easy enough for us to do our own rail between the 2 places? Just thought you may be able to suggest the best option, thank you!
Hi Ana,
Do not worry about the transfer, getting to Disneyland by yourself is actually very easy because it is located very close to a train station called Gare de Marne-la-Vallée Chessy!
So what can you do is to go to the closest train station to your accommodation (in your case I think it’s Charles de Gaulle station – you can reach it by metro M2 in 10 mins) and take a train from there to Gare de Marne-la-Vallée Chessy. It is going to be around 15-20 eur and around 10 minutes from Charles de Gaulle station. The entrance to Disneyland Paris is 5 minutes away from the station 🙂 And the return is just as simple, you just take the train the other way around!
If you want to be on the safe side, I recommend reserving your train tickets in advance here.
Have a great trip to Disneyland and lots of fun! 🙂
this is very useful info, can we buy 2 separate 1 day 1 park tickets for 2 consecutive days since buying sepatate is cheaper..? ;]
Hi Maixine!
I should update the post with this info since it has been asked a lot.
Here is why i dont recommend doing it (but thats only my opinion) – the parks are not equal in size, you can count the big one as 1,5 parks, 1 day is enough to see everything there – so many rides and cool things! The second one has just a couple of cool rides, and what’s important, it closes very early, around 6 pm depending on the season.
So, I would say it is only a good idea to buy 2 separate tickets if you are a)going with kids (since there are not so many thrill rides in Disney Studion, the small park b)if you in any way planned only 1,5 days for the parks
Hope that makes sense,
let me know if you have more questions.
Enjoy your vacation! 🙂
Hi Yulia,
Thanks for all this info. I’ve bought the tickets now and can’t wait to get there.
Your instructions are easy to follow and you have a really good manner.
Keep up the good work!
Cheers
Julie (Australia)
Thank you, Julie! I’m so glad the info was useful! 🙂
Hi Yulia,
This post so helpful, I am planning to visit Disney Paris in April 2019 & thinking to purchase 1 day 2 park Mini ticket. Just want to know is this ticket includes all the shows and parade?
And what is Super & Ultimate FASTPASS? Guess it is something additional to park ticket.
Thanks
Yes, it includes all the shows and the parade of course. There are fastpass macnihes in the park that let you book a time slot and come back later with almost no line. These ones are free and they are available for the most popular and crowded rides. There is one more fast pass (maybe that is the one you mean), you can buy it inside the park and it lets you skip all the lines, it is pretty awesome, but not really cheap (and it is not included in the price of the ticket, no).
Hope this helps,
have an amazing time in Disney!
This was so helpful, coming from the US, saved 20+ on Valentines Day@
my pleasure!
Hi Yulia,
Picniq mentioned the ticket include fastpass. Is this only for 1 ride or I can choose many rides as I want?
Thank you in advance.
Actually, this is a bit misleading because every ticket will offer Fastpass option (the one where you book your time slot for a particular ride and come back during that time). Not all the rides are equipped with the special machines where you can get the time slot tickets from, but the most popular ones are. Picniq does not include the actual FastPass using which you can skip the line to any ride (those are bought inside the park right after you enter).
Hi thanks for this, you have helped me alot. Quick question, I can see that the price difference for 1 day 1 park and 2 days 2 parks is very different. Could I not just buy the 1 day 1 park ticket twice, visiting 1 park on one day and then the other park the day after??
Hello Simone!
Yes, you can technically do it but keep in mind that one park is huge and you will need more than 1 day for it and the other one is small and it closes at 6 pm, so I would personally buy 2 days 2 parks but it is up to you
Have a great holiday!
Hi Yulia.
I have a question if you don’t mind.
My daughter and I planning to go to Disneyland in November for her 5th birthday.
We are going to be there for 2 days. What is the best to buy: 2 days 2park tickets OR 1 day 1 park and visit each park on a separate day? How realistic is to explore 2 parks at the same day?
Thank you.
Hello Natallia,
nice to meet you!
You could do that if you wish, but the thing with the parks is that the attractions there are not divided proportionally. The main one need like 1,5 days to discover everything and half a day for the small one will be enough in my opinion. The smaller one also closes much earlier.
I’d suggest comparing the prices – how much would you save if you d go with separate tickets and evaluate how much do you want to see in each park as well.
For example, the bigger park has a lot of great thrill rides which I am not sure you would go to a lot if you are traveling with a 5 year old.
Hope this will help you to make a decision,
have an amazing time in Disneyland!
Hey Yulia :D,
Thank you so much for this detailed article on tickets to disney. We are extremely happy to have found it, and get some majour discounts. We are a big family, and want to do 4 days in the park.
My question is, on the Picniq site, when choosing for a 4 day pass, though it says it’s valid for a year, and must be used within 7 days of first visit, it still asks for a calendar date! Does that mean we have to start our visit on that date that we specify or is it just so they can have a time frame of the 1 year validity of the tickets?
Hope my question makes sense, and thanks again.
Hi Rossana, I am happy help!
I addressed your question directly to Picniq and this is what they replied:
for any multiday tickets from 2-4 days they have validity for 1 year from when we (picniq) process the order. We ask for a visit date just so we can prioritise processing of ticket orders, that way if people are going in the next couple of days we can make sure they have them processed and delivered urgently compared to a visit that would be in a few months
Hope that helps, have an amazing holiday!
Hi Yulia ,
It makes perfect sense now .
Thank you for providing this place filled with invaluable information.
You are awesome.
Blessings
Rossana
Hi Yulia:
We are planning for Disneyland Paris trip and planning to spend complete Saturday morning till evening. Could you please recommend best option in terms of tickets for myself, my wife and 2 yrs old kid (3 members) ?
Thanks in Advance.
Hello,
I recommend taking 1 day 2 parks tickets, in my opinion thats the best option for 1 day
Hi Yulia. Thank you for your previous reply. A 1 day 2 park adult Magic ticket on Disney’s website is currently 22 Euros more than the price at the time you wrote your article. From your experience, do you think in a couple months this price would go down to what it was back in October? The current price on Picniq is 70 Euros and I wasn’t sure if I could do better by waiting. Thanks for your help!
Hello!
I think the price increase is due to the fact that I made my research quite some time ago, not because of the seasonal or promotional changes.
In my experience, prices almost never go down especially for such a popular attraction as Disneyland, so I would not wait (but I might be wrong of course).
appreciate your advice, I just checked ticket master and a MINI 1 day 2 park ticket is 67eur which is much higher than the UK Disney site or even better the Picniq site (47GBP). Apparently you have to check the various different country websites (UK, France, germany or Italy to find best deal). Right now UK much better
Hi! Thank you for this but im not sure if i got the mini,magic right..with us, we’re in paris on aug.10-13 and planning to go on aug.11 coz thats my daughter’s bday..based from my understanding, i should get the magic ticket right? Unfortunately, its not available to purchase yet..coz the date with price is only until june..
Hello Kay!
It is a bit too early i Suppose, wait for a couple of months, i am sure it will be available then
Hi,
Thanks for the tips.It saved us `20-30 Euros.
Hello again Yulia!
I was trying to follow your tricks and book from Ticketmaster but I realised that I don’t have a clue!
We are here in Paris for three weeks and I want to take my father and my 5 years old son but I was so confused!
I found cheaper tickets by 40€ off on the app called google trips it takes you directly to a website called musment.com and you can pay safely with PayPal as well! I have to pay only 160€! For the two parks!
And there is another website which is picniq.uk it’s cheap and it gives you 15£ meal and a fast pass of course!
Could you check which one should I go for and what’s the best time to go.. It’s our first time there, I would be so great if you could help!
Xoxo
Hi Yulia,
i plan to book for Dec 27 (wednesday) , when i check on the calendar it could be Mini + Magic + Super Magic + Magic Flex.. is it mean i can purchase either one of them? Can i purchase the MIni one instead of the Magic Flex? please advise
27 December is Christmas and New Years holiday, you need to buy Super Magic. I also recommend buying a fast pass (at the park) because it will probably be very crowded!
Thanks, such a BIG help!
Hello, i will be going to disneyland in february during a week day with a couple of friends and we are thinking of getting a fast pass ticket. Do you think it is worth it and how expensive is it?
Thanks
Definitely worth it, it is such a different experience when you dont need to wait in the line for 2 hours for each attraction.
Since recently, I always buy a fast pass for all popular amusement parks
Hi Yulia
You have been amazing… I love reading your post.
Question: Can you only buy a fastpass at Disneyland itself? I am about to buy tickets for the 29th May 2019 and I’m wondering if I need to purchase a fastpass? They are sooo expensive on the Disneyland site..
Hi, Daylene
So glad you enjoyed the post! 🙂
The basic fast pass is free for everyone that has a ticket to Disneyland and it lets you “skip the line” to the 6 most famous rides in the park.
Please note that the fast pass doesn’t allow you to jump the existing line whenever you want, but you will have to return to that specific attraction during a certain timeframe indicated on a screen and then you can go in directly without standing in line anymore.
There are some new and special fast passes that you can buy from their website (they’re called the Super and Ultimate Fastpass) that give you access (once or unlimited times) and without any specific return time slot to certain rides in the park. You can buy this type of fast pass if you feel it is worth it and you don’t want to spend any time waiting in line.
Hope this helps and have lots of fun at Disneyland!
Hi Julia, many thanks for the info I just bought 3 MINI tickets for next week…Wicked!!! 🙂
There’s a website called “Miss Tourists” that offers tickets any cheaper. Curious if you’ve heard of this and if its ligit?
Thanks for the info!
‘get your guide”
GetYourGuide is a totally legit company,no worries, one of the biggest in Europe. you see my logo on the top of the site because I have partnered with them to recommend you the best tours.
Have a great stay in Paris! 🙂
Well, today tickets on Ticketmaster cost exactly the same as on Official site… no point to use it 🙁
I checked MAGIC tickets which work in July. 78/71 Euro.
Hi Yulia. Just want you to know that you’re a heaven sent! Me and my fiance is planning to visit Paris for our honeymoon inAug and we’re thinking to visit Disneyland. I have been reading almost a book of disneyland ticket guidelines I but cannot get any full details (or helpful should I say) until I came accross your website. Thank you babe! Justwant to clarify that if I buy the mini, it doesn’t matter when I’m going as long as it’s not later than Jan 2018 (but of course having checked carefully the dates available for MINI). From what I can see,most are shaded blue which means limited days for MINI ticket category. Also, given that I have bought the tix already, I just needed to print the e-ticket and there’s no need to qeueu for the physical ticket? Thanks a lot 🙂
Thanks so much Maui, i am so happy it was useful for you guys!
Yes, correct, just double check in the calendar in the post that the dates you want to go are green (mini). But as far as I am aware, August almost doesnt have a Mini ticket (only 4 days at the end of the month) as it is the most popular months. So, if you want to visit anywhere between 1st to 27th, you should get a MAGIC ticket. The also have some holidays right in the middle of the month, if you visit then, you have to get a SUPER MAGIC ticket (just see above in the calendar).
Yes, when you printed the tixs, you just go straight to the gates, they will scan it from there, no need to stay in any line!
P.S. Also, as you go in the most popular month (and it is your honeymoon), I suggest you read my other post 6 places in Paris with the longest queues and how to avoid them.
Have fun! 🙂
Thanks. Also – try changing the currency/country at the Disney official website. I’m in the US and coming to visit. The official website listed 2 MAGIC 1-day two park tickets at $180 USD. Ticketmaster was 156 Euro = $166 USD. But switching the country on the official website to the United Kingdom, the tickets were only 120 GBP = $150 USD.
awesome tip, thank a lot!
Hi Yulia. I’m going to Disneyland París on march 20 and 21. Week Days, consecutive days, party of 3..
I can see that there s cheapper to buy two separate orders of special mini tickets, than the option of two days two parks on consecutive multi days.
Is it allowed to go to the Parks buying special mini tickets for two days separately, instead of multi days?
I would like to buy two orders of mini and use them on consecutive days. 47 euros per day.
Sorry for my bad english.
Thanks a lot.
Regards
Thank you Yulia! My ticket buying process went smoothly, and I’m also saving a lot of money. Thank you so much!
Hi Vernon!
Good question, thank you!
Sometimes it can happen that the price is the same, especially when Disney holds their own promos.
Thank you so much! You saved me a lot of money! Worked like a charm.
Hi Yulia,
I will be in Paris on 25th of May. I have half a day to spare. I will have my kid with me as well. Is it worth to give Disneyland a try for half a day?
Please suggest.
Regards,
Abhijit
Yes, I would say it is still worth it to spend half a day in Disneyland, but remember that you will need time to get there as well (~1 – 1,5 hours). Going there for 3 hours and spending just 2 hours there is not such a good idea in my opinion. Count your time and decide according to that! 🙂
Thanks for this information! I am planning a summer trip with wife and two kids – the savings add up!
Best to you Yulia!
Hi Yulia! I was just on the FNAC website and noticed tickets for 1 day/2 parks are 59 Euro! What a great deal. However, if I am printing the ticket at home, how will this affect the Fastpass process? Also, can I exchange the printout for a hard ticket at guest services as a memento? Thanks!
Hello Oscar!
As far as I know, you can alway by the Fast track pass when you are already inside the park.
Concerning your second question – i do not know if you can change it to a hard ticket. Maybe at the Custumer service if you specially ask for it. Othervise the printed copy is enough.
