Disneyland Paris hotels

A giant toy box for kids who never grow up, Disneyland® Paris is a magical mix of larger-than-life fairytales and white-knuckle rides. Dip in for more than 50 rides, shows and attractions in five themed lands, plus a behind-the-scenes peek at movie-making in the Walt Disney Studios®.

Scream as your stomach drops on the 360° twists and turns of Indiana Jones™ and the Temple of Peril, or be propelled into a asteroid-studded cosmos on Space Mountain: Mission 2. Race hairpin bends around red-rocked canyon Big Thunder Mountain and feel the G-force as Aerosmith blasts out of 120 speakers on Rock 'n' Roller Coaster at Walt Disney Studios.

Kids make a beeline for Fantastyland’s gentle, fairytale-themed rides. Take them to Sleeping Beauty’s Castle, fly pirate ships over Neverneverland on Peter Pan’s Flight, spy singing puppets behind the pastel-coloured walls of It's a Small World and laugh with Donald Duck on stage at the Walt Disney Studios’ Animagique.

Seek out eerie Phantom Manor’s spooks and headless spirits, get lost in Alice's Curious Labyrinth or zap Martians with laser pistols on a toy-saving mission in Buzz Lightyear Laser Blast. Brave stormy waters on the moonlit Pirates of the Caribbean and don 3D specs for Honey, I Shrunk the Audience.

Bypass the super-sized hot dogs to savour Creole fish in starlit Blue Lagoon, or French flavours such as duck confit and crème brûlée beside Cinderella’s coach in the Auberge de Cendrillon. Disney Village serves up spicy Mexican fajitas in the Amazon-inspired Rainforest Cafe and all-American favourites at Planet Hollywood.

Watch wild buffalo stampede at the whip-cracking Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show. The Sports Bar broadcasts big sports events live and the Gaumont Cinema’s 15 giant screens draw film buffs with box office hits. Catch free concerts at Disney® Village, or shake your bootie to R’n’B and salsa in Hurricanes nightclub.

For a more sedate alternative to the thrills ’n’ spills, there are three 18-hole golf courses by the lakes at Golf Disneyland®. Take your kids canoeing and boating on Marina del Rey in summer, glide across Hotel New York’s ice rink in winter, or see Lake Disney shrink from 100 metres up in PanoraMagique, the world’s largest captive balloon.

Stuff your suitcase with a big-eared Mickey from the World of Toys, string puppets from La Bottega di Geppetto, stripy candy canes and oversized lollipops from the Boardwalk Candy Palace and cut-price designer labels from La Vallée Village.
