- Disneyland Park entrance is on the left, through the archway beneath the pink Disneyland Hotel.
A smooth arrival sets the tone for the rest of your Disney day. Whether you're heading straight to rope drop or arriving later in the afternoon, this guide walks you through the entire entry experience—from security procedures to park-specific entrances and helpful tips.
Disneyland Paris has one main entry plaza that serves both Disneyland Park and Walt Disney Studios Park. This area is just beyond Disney Village and next to the Marne-la-Vallée–Chessy train station, making it easy to reach whether you’re arriving by train, shuttle, or car.
Once inside this shared area, you’ll pass through security before choosing your park:
Before entering the parks, all guests go through a security screening. Expect:
🚫 Prohibited items include alcohol, glass containers, large suitcases, selfie sticks, drones, sharp objects, and folding chairs. Outside food is allowed, provided it’s non-alcoholic and not stored in hard coolers or glass.
Security typically opens 30 to 60 minutes before the official park opening time. On busy days, such as weekends, holidays, or school breaks, arrive 45 to 60 minutes early to avoid queues and be ready for rope drop.
Guests staying at a Disney hotel enjoy Extra Magic Time, which grants early entry to select attractions before the parks open to the public.
After clearing security, you’ll proceed to the park of your choice. Each has its own set of turnstiles and themed entry area. If you’re visiting both parks in a single day, re-entry is allowed with a valid multi-park ticket; just get your hand stamped upon exit. Digital tickets, Apple Wallet passes, and printed vouchers are all accepted.
