From 5 to 24 euros per person
If, for the moment, it is still possible to reserve a dated ticket from 89 euros per person (until mid-December and excluding weekends), once in the park, you must forget about the characters walking around freely. Meetings now only take place during scheduled photo sessions, with queues very often exceeding 90 minutes… and without being able, for example, to choose the princess with whom your child dreams of posing.
In attractions too, a supplement applies to avoid queues: count on a minimum of 5 euros per person for quicker access to the most popular rides.
But what is really getting people talking at the end of the year are the “privilege tickets” introduced for the parade and the park’s nighttime show. From now on, to comfortably attend the Christmas parade, plan on paying a supplement of 22 euros… per person! And if you want a privileged view for the end-of-day show and the fireworks in front of Sleeping Beauty Castle, it will be 24 euros per person… A novelty that goes down badly with Mickey fans and visitors . “It’s really become Scrooge’s park,” “It’s scandalous, we’re taking away the magic from children”can we read on X (formerly Twitter).
So, how much does a day at Disneyland Paris now cost?
We have calculated how much a day in the amusement park costs for a family of two adults and two children under 11 years old. Count on 346 euros just for access to the two parks, during the week and before December 14. If you want to eat, without (too much) breaking the bank, for example at Café Hyperion, where the burger menu is 16 euros and 10 euros per child, you will have a total of 52 euros (we add 12 euros if we choose the ‘Christmas option). And a souvenir for 15 euros per child, or 30 euros.
This brings the bill to 428 euros for a basic day with no other options.
If you would like to reserve places for the parade, add 88 euros for our family, bringing the total to 516 euros for a single day, with a single meal and without drinks or “sides”.

What if we stay asleep?
If you want to extend the experience and sleep there, you will have to pay much more. . For a stay of two nights and three days at the Disney Hotel Cheyenne, rates start at 773.52 euros for two adults and two children, in low season. And again, this is only valid for certain dates.
For a weekend in December, during school holidays, this price rises to a minimum of 1,780.29 euros for the same configuration.
Between entry tickets, comfort options and souvenirs, Disneyland Paris tends to become a luxury reserved for well-stocked wallets, far from the accessibility advocated by Walt Disney himself: “Disneyland is often called a magical kingdom because it combines fantasy and history, adventure and learning, and all kinds of leisure and fun designed to please everyone.
