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 for an extra charge from 21 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 at least 24 euros per person… A novelty that doesn’t go down well with Mickey fans and fans. 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 56 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.

How are guests at Disneyland Paris reacting to the introduction of privilege tickets for events and character meet and greets?
**Interview with Disneyland Paris Expert, Emily Martin**
**Editor:** Welcome, Emily! Thank you for joining us today to discuss the recent developments at Disneyland Paris. It’s been quite a topic of conversation lately.
**Emily Martin:** Thank you for having me! Yes, there’s a lot to unpack regarding the current situation at Disneyland Paris.
**Editor:** Most notably, the introduction of extra charges for character meet and greets and the upcoming Christmas parade. What reactions have you seen from visitors?
**Emily Martin:** The feedback has been overwhelmingly negative. Many fans feel that these new “privilege tickets” for events like the parade and nighttime show are undermining the magic of Disneyland. It seems to be turning what was once a family-friendly experience into something more expensive and exclusive.
**Editor:** Exactly. For some parents, the cost of a day at the park has skyrocketed. Can you break down what a family might expect to spend?
**Emily Martin:** Certainly! For a family of four, simply getting in the gates can cost around 346 euros for access to both parks. Then, if you add in meals and the potential for souvenirs, you’re looking at a minimum of 428 euros. And if you want to reserve spots to see the parade, that could add an additional 88 euros. So, it can really add up.
**Editor:** That’s quite a hefty price tag. And what about accommodations? I’ve heard the prices for staying on-site are steep as well.
**Emily Martin:** Yes, very much so. Rates at Disney Hotel Cheyenne start at about 773 euros for a two-night stay during low season, but it can skyrocket to almost 1,800 euros during peak times, such as school holidays in December. This truly reflects a shift towards making Disneyland Paris a luxury destination rather than a family-oriented theme park.
**Editor:** What do you think this means for future visitors?
**Emily Martin:** It raises several concerns. Walt Disney’s vision was to create a place accessible to everyone. With these escalating costs, families might feel priced out, which contradicts the very ethos of Disneyland. If this continues, we could see a change in the kind of guests who visit, potentially losing out on the family-friendly atmosphere that has defined Disneyland for decades.
**Editor:** Well, it will certainly be interesting to see how Disneyland Paris evolves in the coming years. Thank you, Emily, for sharing your insights!
**Emily Martin:** My pleasure! Let’s hope the magic can still be accessible to all.
