Where to Stay?

Basing yourself in Marne La Vallée can be a brilliant choice, especially since it’s a stone’s throw away from Disneyland! Not only will you enjoy convenient access to the park, but you’ll also find the area has some decent accommodations and amenities. Plus, you can take the RER train to get into central Paris fairly quickly (roughly 40 minutes).

Day 1: Disneyland Magic

Visiting Disneyland Paris during the Christmas season is a magical experience that visitors of all ages will cherish.

Arrive at Disneyland as soon as the gates open to make the most of your day! Whether you’re screaming on Montagne de l'espace or meeting Mickey Mouse, there are tons to do. Don’t forget to catch the parades and fireworks; they are phenomenal! Grab a quick bite in the park to keep your energy up—maybe a churro or two? 😉

Day 2: Paris Exploration

After a day of fairy-tale fun, it’s time to head into the heart of Paris. Start your morning bright and early with a delicious croissant and a coffee at a local café.

Then, it’s off to the tour Eiffel! Consider reserving your tickets in advance to skip those infamous lines. Once you’ve taken in the views, stroll along the Seine and snap some gorgeous photos.

Then, maybe wander toward Cathédrale Notre Dame (even if it’s just to admire the exterior) and the charming streets of Le Marais. The shops and food scene around there are unbeatable! As you wrap up your day, don’t miss out on an evening with the stunning sunset view of the Seine—is there anything more romantic?
