1. Cost Breakdown - Ticket Prices

First things first, the way to grab the best value for money park tickets is through the Wowcher deals! Buying park tickets separately through the Disney website can make you feel un poco loco. Instead select any of our Disneyland Paris break deals that have flights, accommodation and park tickets included get the fairest package of all!

With these deals, you wouldn’t ever have had a friend like Wowcher.

2. Transportation Costs

Exploring in the park feels like riding a magic carpet, but it’s getting there that can be tricky! Travelling by plane can be quick with just up to an hour and a half flight. Flights can range between £50-£80 but depend on the time of the year. Comparably you can travel by (train) carriage and be magically transported to Disneyland! Eurostar tickets from London to Paris range between £54 and £109 each way, offering a more comfortable mode of travel. Now both these options can seem pricey when looking at taking the whole family on a weekend getaway, so it only makes sense to book a package deal with Wowcher, where the bare necessities, flights, hotel and park tickets, are included! Not only is this value for money, but also a load off your mind! Be our guest as we organise the trip and save you time searching for the best hotels and flights.
