The closest hotels to Disneyland are all run by Disney themselves. For three of the five Disney hotels its arguably quicker to walk to Disneyland than take the complementary shuttle buses.

Just beyond the Disney hotels is a cluster of large 300 room plus resort hotels, all adjacent to each other around a lake and not owned by Disney. These hotels share a complementary shuttle bus (pictured right) that takes you to the entrance gates of Disneyland and the railway station.


The attraction is of course a near Disney hotel experience at a cheaper price.

All the hotels (detailed below) are isolated. The hotel shuttle is your lifeline to Disneyland and the bus/rail station at Disneyland.

If you take your car, there is plenty of free parking at all hotels.


All of the hotels here are served by the VER bus that connects Disneyland frequently with the two main airports at Paris, Charles De Gaulle and Orly. A less frequent service goes to Beauvais Airport.


Another alternative that will help stretch your budget are the hotels at Val D'Europe. These are just south of Disneyland in the town of Val D'Europe. There are frequent trains from the rail station here to Disneyland taking only 5 minutes.

Val D'Europe as well as offering more economical hotels offers a major shopping mall with extensive restaurants and an outlet centre and aquarium attached. Unlike the Disneyland hotels this allows you to escape the cost of eating and drinking at the hotel or Disney Village.

Another advantage is that the same train that takes you to Disneyland, going the other way will have you in Central Paris in 35 minutes. The train runs until very late too.
