Where to stay for a Disneyland Paris family trip

🏰Disneyland Paris

France

Updated 1 July 2026

A Disneyland Paris trip lives or dies on where you sleep, because the parks are exhausting and the right hotel is the difference between a magical week and a meltdown. The choice comes down to two camps. The on-site Disney hotels, from the Marvel-themed flagship to the budget Cars-themed Santa Fe, cost more but hand you two things money struggles to buy: Extra Magic Time in the parks before they open, and a walk or short shuttle straight to the gates. The partner and nearby hotels in Magny-le-Hongre and Val d'Europe cost far less and often do more for kids, like the Explorers water playground, but you swap the early park access for a shuttle timetable. This guide scores both honestly on what actually matters with children: how close you really are, whether there is a pool, and how big the family rooms are.

Why it works with kids

  • The on-site Disney hotels include Extra Magic Time, so you ride the headline attractions before the crowds arrive
  • The closest on-site hotels are a short walk to the gates, so no long shuttle wait with tired children
  • Several hotels have heated indoor pools, a real bonus in cool or wet Paris weather
  • The Explorers partner hotel has a huge indoor water playground, ideal for toddlers and a rest day off the parks
  • Family rooms for five or six are easy to find, on-site and at the partner hotels
  • Character breakfasts and Disney and Marvel theming turn the hotel itself into part of the magic

Best areas to stay

  1. 1On-site Disney hotels: the closest to the gates and the only ones with Extra Magic Time, from the flagship Hotel New York down to the budget Santa Fe. Pick these for early park access and the shortest walk.
  2. 2Val d'Europe: a short RER or shuttle hop away, with the big shopping centre, restaurants and supermarket for cheaper meals and self-catering supplies. Good for families watching the budget.
  3. 3Bailly-Romainvilliers and Magny-le-Hongre: the partner-hotel belt a free shuttle from the parks, home to Explorers, Dream Castle and the budget B&B. Lower prices and often more for the kids to do at the hotel.

Our KidProof picks

Hand-picked and scored on the eight things that matter to families.

Disney Hotel New York, The Art of Marvel
85Family favourite

in Disneyland Paris

Disney Hotel New York, The Art of Marvel

Superior family rooms sleep up to four and connecting rooms are available for larger groups, with premium bedding, a cot on request and space for a pram. The rooms are the smartest on the resort, dressed in a slick New York style, and the sound-proofing means a baby can nap while older kids are still buzzing about Iron Man.

€€€€from 350 / night
Disney Newport Bay Club
84Family favourite

in Disneyland Paris

Disney Newport Bay Club

Superior rooms sleep up to four, with family rooms, lake-view rooms and terrace options, plus cots on request. This is a big hotel with over a thousand rooms, so ask for a room near the lifts if you have a pram and a lot of floors between you and the pool.

€€€from 230 / night
Disney Sequoia Lodge
82Family favourite

in Disneyland Paris

Disney Sequoia Lodge

Standard rooms sleep four with two double beds, decorated with woodland creatures from Bambi, and cots are available on request. Rooms are spread across several lodges in the grounds, so if you have a pram it is worth asking for the main building to cut down on outdoor walks in the rain.

€€€from 200 / night
Explorers Hotel at Disneyland Paris
81Family favourite

in Disneyland Paris

Explorers Hotel at Disneyland Paris

Family rooms are the whole point here, sleeping up to ten in some configurations, with bunk areas and separate kids' zones that little ones love. Cots are available and the layouts are built for families rather than couples, so a big group or two sets of siblings fit comfortably.

€€€€from 120 / night
Dream Castle Hotel at Disneyland Paris
79Family favourite

in Disneyland Paris

Dream Castle Hotel at Disneyland Paris

Rooms come as doubles, quadruples, family rooms and suites, so a family of four or five slots in easily, and cots are available. The fairytale castle theme carries into the rooms, which is the storybook look many children picture before the trip, and the layouts are more spacious than the compact on-site standard rooms.

€€€from 150 / night
Disney Hotel Cheyenne
78Family favourite

in Disneyland Paris

Disney Hotel Cheyenne

Rooms are themed around Toy Story and sleep four, with a main double bed plus a daybed and a pull-out single, and cots on request. The layout works well for a family of four with two younger children, and the Wild West streets outside give kids somewhere to run before bed.

€€€€from 160 / night
Disney Hotel Santa Fe
76Worth a look

in Disneyland Paris

Disney Hotel Santa Fe

Rooms are themed around Disney Pixar's Cars, and family rooms with two bathrooms sleep five or six with a double bed, a trundle bed and a sofa bed. The bigger family rooms are one of the best-value ways to fit a larger family on-site, though the standard rooms are simple and compact.

€€€€from 140 / night
B&B Hotel at Disneyland Paris
71Worth a look

in Disneyland Paris

B&B Hotel at Disneyland Paris

Rooms are simple, modern and clean, with family rooms sleeping up to five, which is the whole reason to book here. There is no frilly theming and no pool, but the family rooms fit a couple with three children at a price well below the themed hotels, and cots can be requested.

€€€from 90 / night
