FAQs
To visit Disneyland Paris on a budget, consider staying in nearby Val d’Europe, which offers affordable accommodations and easy access to the park via a short train ride. Look for discounted park tickets online and plan your visit during off-peak seasons to save on both lodging and entrance fees. Bring your own snacks and meals to avoid high food costs inside the park. Take advantage of free attractions and shows within Disneyland Paris to maximise your experience without spending extra.
Val d’Europe offers several budget-friendly hotels and accommodations. Options include chain hotels like Ibis and B&B Hotel, as well as apartment rentals for families or groups. These accommodations provide easy access to Disneyland Paris via a short train or shuttle ride. Many hotels in Val d’Europe also offer amenities such as free breakfast and family-friendly services, helping you save even more on your trip. Booking in advance can secure better rates and availability.
Traveling from Val d’Europe to Disneyland Paris is simple and convenient. The RER A train line connects Val d’Europe to Marne-la-Vallée/Chessy, the station right at Disneyland Paris, with a journey time of about 5 minutes. Trains run frequently throughout the day. Alternatively, many hotels in Val d’Europe offer shuttle services to and from the park. Walking is also an option, as it’s only a 15-20 minute stroll, allowing you to save on transport costs and enjoy the scenery.
Val d’Europe offers a variety of budget-friendly dining options. The Val d’Europe shopping centre has numerous restaurants and a food court with affordable meals. Supermarkets like Auchan allow you to buy groceries and prepare your own meals if you’re staying in an apartment. Inside Disneyland Paris, opt for counter-service restaurants, which are generally cheaper than sit-down dining. You can also bring your own snacks and meals into the park to save money.
The best times to visit Disneyland Paris to avoid crowds and enjoy lower prices are during the off-peak seasons. Visit in January, February, or November (excluding school holidays) when the park is less crowded and accommodation rates are lower. Weekdays are typically quieter than weekends. Early spring and late autumn also offer fewer visitors and more pleasant weather. Planning your visit during these times will help you make the most of your Disneyland Paris experience without long wait times or high costs.

Does anyone actually enjoy perfectly polished family travel videos? The ones where the kids never cry, the parents never argue, and everyone’s effortlessly smiling on a sunset beach? 🌅
Because honestly… I don’t.
And yet, here I am - working in a space where that’s sort of what’s expected. Pretty feeds. Perfect moments. Carefree families. Effortless experiences. But behind the camera? Tantrums are obviously had, fights break out, and someone’s usually mid-meltdown (…often me 🙃).
Here’s the thing: I love sharing tips and showing you amazing places, but I never want to pretend family travel is easy or perfect. It’s messy. It’s chaotic. It’s real life squeezed into new places - but, that’s where the best memories are made, and it’s the reality I want to share more of. ❤️

£350pp HALF BOARD in the October Half term with flights AND daily park tickets! 🤩
I’ll start by saying our stay here was part of a previous campaign with magicbreaks, but I didn’t need to post about it again (I saw the half term prices and had to share)
We absolutely loved our stay at Portaventura World, its impossible for the kids to get bored, the pool areas are really relaxed (as most people are at the park) and the half board allows you to eat in the park for lunch if you wish!
I have a highlight on here showing our trip there. I also have a blog post if you want to know more.
The £350pp is based on 27th - 30th October staying at the Hotel Caribe on a half board basis - shared by a family of 4. (family of 5 rooms are available)
I’ve put the link you need to book in my linktree - not an affiliate link.

Have you done a cruise with a baby before?!
Traveling with kids is one thing, with a baby who has just learnt to walk is a whole other ball game 🫠🙃
I’ve written a blog over on our website with more details about our trip 😅🫶🏻
