Disneyland Paris is the only Disney park in Europe, and is situated 30 kilometres from Paris, France. Disneyland Paris consists of 2 theme parks, 7 hotels, the Disney Village shopping district and a private golf course. Unlike the other international parks; Disneyland Paris is fully owned by the Walt Disney Company.
There are currently 3 different passes on sale: Bronze Pass, Silver Pass and Gold Pass.
| Pass Name | Pay Monthly | Annual Cost |
| Bronze Pass | €18 (with a €91 initial payment) | €289 |
| Silver Pass | €30 (with a €169 initial payment) | €499 |
| Gold Pass | €45 (with a €204 initial payment) | €699 |
Paying for the Annual Passes
If you’re not in France then getting a Disneyland Paris Annual Pass is not…easy. You cannot buy them online at all from the UK/US versions of the website. The French website does allow you to buy them outright online, but you need a French postal address for the physical card to be delivered. It is possible to buy the annual pass over the phone, however this also needs a French postal address for the voucher to be delivered.
If you want to pay monthly, you need to set up a direct debit which can only be done by filling out a form and returning it by post. This also requires a European bank account.
The easiest way to buy an Annual Pass is to buy a day ticket, get a reservation to enter and upgrade the day ticket to an Annual Pass. The staff will take the money spent on the day ticket and deduct that from the price of the annual pass.
BE AWARE: The Annual Pass office, which is based at the ticket office of the Walt Disney Studios Park, is only open from around 1000 to 1700 daily. It is not open in the evenings, no matter what time either parks close.
Bronze Pass
The Bronze Pass is the cheapest pass available and is quite restrictive overall. It offers access to both parks for only 170 days per year, with the majority of available days being mid week during term time. The entirety of July and August are blocked off. There are some weekends available, but they are in January and February.
The Bronze Pass gives you free parking but no other extras: no shop or food discounts, no early access and no PhotoPass+ discount either.
This is a heavily restricted pass but it could be worth it if you are visiting Paris during the low season or you work or live nearby.
Silver Pass
The Silver Pass gives access to both parks for 300 days per year, with the black out dates being the peak summer days in July and August, as well as Halloween and Christmas week.
Like the Bronze Pass, you get free parking but you also get a 10% discount in the shops and restaurants as well as 10% off the Annual PhotoPass+ card.
Gold Pass
The Gold Pass gives unlimited access to both Disneyland Paris parks 365 days a year, although with the same restrictions around prebooking as the Silver pass (see below).
Again you get free parking, along with 15% discount in the shops and restaurants. You get the Annual Photopass+ card included, and you also get access to the Extra Magic Time which is early entry normally restricted to Disney Hotel Guests.
Prebooking
Since reopening after the pandemic, all Disney parks have had some form of prebooking required for entry to their parks.
Disneyland Paris still requires prebooking for both Annual Pass and Day guests, for Silver and Gold passes you can have up to 3 prebooks active. For the Bronze pass: you can only initially prebook 1 day but once you have scanned into the park you can then make additional prebooks. All prebooking is done on the Disneyland Paris website or official app.
For all 3 passes: once you have activated a prebook reservation (by scanning in at either park) you can then make another prebook reservation.
Unlike other Disney Parks you do not have to select which park you prebook at. You prebook for the entire resort and it gets activated once you scan in at either park.
