Rules in force · 8Non-EU visitors get 90 days in any rolling 180-day window…
- Europe ↗Non-EU visitors get 90 days in any rolling 180-day window, counted across all 29 Schengen states together — not per country; the Entry/Exit System now logs each crossing, so an overstay is detected automatically.
- Europe ↗On the first Schengen entry since EES began, non-EU travellers give four fingerprints and a face photo at the border instead of a passport stamp; there is nothing to apply for or pay in advance.
- France and Monaco ↗France has run temporary identity checks at its internal Schengen land borders since 2015; carry a passport or EU/EEA national ID on trains and buses from Italy, Spain, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland and Luxembourg.
- France and Monaco ↗Nights in France and Monaco draw on the same Schengen 90-in-180-day allowance as the rest of the area; Monaco does not reset or pause it.
- France ↗France is in the Schengen area. Check the entry rules for your passport on official sources; the EU's Entry/Exit System registers non-EU visitors' fingerprints and photo at the first Schengen border, and further pre-travel authorisation rules are being introduced.
- France ↗TGV (including the low-cost Ouigo) and Intercités night trains need a seat reservation: a rail pass alone does not let you board.
- France ↗Paris, Lyon and other large cities run low-emission zones that require a Crit'Air sticker on cars; check before you drive a hire car or your own car into a city.
- France ↗Carry your passport or national ID card: police can ask for identification, and hotels register foreign guests.
Disneyland Paris is a two-park resort at Marne-la-Vallée–Chessy, 35 min from central Paris on RER A and about 10 min from CDG by TGV. It is Europe's most visited attraction, so the trip is decided by crowd calendars and ticket prices, not by sightseeing. Two days covers both parks without rushing; one day means Disneyland Park only.

Arrive & move
Airports are listed under At a glance; this is how to move once you are in
Getting around
Inside the resort you walk: park entrances are about 5 min apart and most hotels are within a 15-min walk (Santa Fe and Cheyenne about 20 min). Free hotel shuttles run to the gates and the Chessy station. The Disneyland Railroad circles Disneyland Park but needs a park ticket.
See & do

RER A to Paris then Transilien Line P from Gare de l'Est
Medieval walled town; a full day, not a half day.
Meaux

Cathedral and Brie de Meaux; easy half day.
Fontainebleau
overnightDoor to door: About 1 h 45 min

Eat & sleep
Which area to sleep in
Where to sleep
Areas, not hotels: pick the one that fits your arrival time and plans.
On-site Disney hotels
Walk or free shuttle to the gates; Extra Magic Time early entry; free parking. Most expensive option.
Val d'Europe / Serris
One RER A stop west; partner hotels and apartments, cheaper, many with park shuttles.
Torcy and Bussy-Saint-Georges
RER A villages further out; lowest prices, 15–25 min by train to Chessy.
Central Paris
RER A direct, 35 min; good if the resort is one day of a Paris trip.

Watch out
Safety
- Tickets and hotel rates are demand-priced: the same date can cost far more in July than in February.
- Off-season means shorter opening hours and rides closed for refurbishment: check the official calendar before booking.
- Restaurants inside the parks can close before the park does.
- Kiosk drinks are expensive; refill a bottle at the free fountains, tap water is safe.
- A Zone 1 Paris Metro ticket is not valid to Chessy (Zone 5): your pass must read Zones 1–5.

Coming as the guide grows
- Airport-to-gate contracts for CDG and ORY: last RER A and TGV departures, Magical Shuttle times, taxi fallback.
- Crowd calendar fixtures by month and school-holiday zone, so the decision line can flip to 'skip this date'.
- Park pages with verified ride closures, show times and restaurant last orders.
- Ticket-price bands by season so the budget calculator stops guessing.
