So you are planning to go to Disneyland Paris on vacation but can’t decide on a hotel. You want to choose right; somewhere that will reflect your needs as well as your family’s. Maybe you are going to spend most of your time in the parks. So think about whether you require loads of hotel activities or just specific amenities. Do you want a more personable experience, with the characters? Will you spend more time at the hotel? Do you need accessibility? Let’s get you some answers.

Disneyland Paris owned hotels along with their preferred partners provide a wide range of amenities and activities for their guests. These range from luggage and room services, parking and transport services, shopping, tailor-made services to indoor and outdoor activities such as fitness, play areas, games and entertainment.

This article will assist you, using my own experience and research, to give you a deeper understanding, while describing what is on offer broadly across all the hotels. Im also available for birthdays, weddings and bar mitzvahs… sorry, my mind wandered for a second… moving on…

Have a look at my article, A Simple Guide to Disneyland Paris Hotel’s to see what amenities and activities are on offer at each accommodation.

Have a look through the overview below. If you are looking for something specific and you see it, hit it and it will take you to it’s description.

MagicPass

The MagicPass is the
key to your entire vacation.
In fact, this handy little card
gives group access to almost
every part of your booking. 

What is your MagicPass used for?

It’s your:

• Room key
• Extra Magic Time access; enabling you to get into the parks before they officially open
• Disney Park Tickets
• Meal Plan Options
• Show Tickets
• Special Event Tickets
• Standard Fastpass; cuts down on queuing at attractions
• Swimming Pool Access
• Fitness Center Access

Each member of your group gets their own MagicPass

Anyone 3 years and up is issued with a MagicPass on check-in at a Disney Hotel or at Les Villages Nature® Paris. This can be used in any way they wish (so parent be aware). Balances and usage can be tracked online at MagicPass.DisneylandParis.com or via your In-Room TV page. If you are out and about with no digital access you can pop into a Disney Shop, restaurant or your Disney hotel front desk to get the same information.

What if i lose my MagicPass?

You can get a replacement from your Disney Hotel, in the parks at City Hall or at Studio Services. A pin code is required to make any charges with the MagicPass. So don’t worry about your security. Unless you made it 0000 or 1234…in which case i’m giving up on you and you should drop your head in shame.

Extra Magic Time 

If you are staying at a Disney Hotel or at Les Villages Nature® Paris (only available when staying at these hotels) you can access the parks before they open using your MagicPass. 

Meet with characters and get autographs as well as a photo you can cherish forever, go on rides and miss all the lengthy queues before official opening time.

* Please be aware these are subject to availability.

---

Baby Bed/Cot 

If you have a baby then you may want to request a cot for your hotel room.  Most hotels offer this free of charge and are subject to availability. If there is a cost reception will be able to advise you correctly.

There maybe a limit of 1 per room at your hotel so make sure you inquire before arrival to avoid disappointment.

---

High Chair 

If you have a wee one, whether you are in your room or in one of the hotels restaurants, you may require use of a high chair. If you do then ask at reception on or before arrival. The earlier you request the less chance of disappointment as they are subject to availability. 

---

Babysitting 

The Disney Hotels offer a professional baby sitting service. So if you need some “adult time”… cough… or want to go for a romantic meal or just need the night off from the kids then this is available to you. 

There is a surcharge for this, so ask at reception for up to date prices as well as specifics. 

Please note: each hotel may operate slightly differently so make sure you get that specific information in advance.

---

Free Wi-Fi

If you are looking for Wi-Fi your Disney or preferred partner hotel has you covered. 

You should be able to recieve Wi-Fi in your room but in worst case scenario the main lobby will have full coverage. So basically coverage can vary but try not to jump around in the air too much. Make sure you check at time of booking if it is important to you.

---

Pay For Parking

Free Parking

Conclusion

When choosing the right hotel at Disneyland Paris take a bit of extra time and go through what each accommodation has to offer. This process will not only improve your stay but in turn will save you lots of time. Time that you can take advantage of with friends and family. Whether thats in the parks or relaxing at your hotel, thats your choice.

Always double check your hotel has the amenities or activities available, that you were expecting, on arrival and on the dates you are staying. Sometimes these can change or be taking out of use due to unforeseen circumstances such as weather or technical difficulties.

Each of the hotels offer a very high standard of service specifically when it comes to facilities and leisure. You will not go wrong with any of them. But I can’t stress enough that you must make sure the hotel suits your needs. Everything may be perfect and nothing may go wrong. But you may not be satisfied because it’s not your “cup of tea” it may ruin the experience. This is also important if you are choosing for financial reasons. It’s better paying a little more or a little less if it mean you get what you are looking for. Trust me, experience is everything. 

Choose correctly by using all the information at your disposal. Including the articles on blugenieblogger.com. Maybe disposal was the wrong word… please don’t try and dispose of my articles…they are heavy.

I hope this has been helpful and don’t forget to check out more Disney articles below.

As always have fun.

See You Real Soon.
