Tips:

Tips for traveling to Disneyland Paris in your Camper

  • Consider going off season
  • Just a big car park at Disney itself, Motorhomes tend to park near the bud area. Cannot pre book I believe . Approx €45
  • You need to buy a parking ticket for each day there. Before 10am
  • Consider using a local campsite and travel in, but book campsite and Disney tickets early. Lots of travel options to and from Disney
  • Download the Disney app.
  • Plan your day if only going for one day
  • Get in early
  • Check out some of the Disney related Facebook groups for latest info.
  • Measure kids height before going and know which rides they rare allowed on. Details on app.
  • Val de Europe next to Disney for shopping

Simply fill a spray bottle with water, spray the window and then apply the bubble wrap. The other bonus is that its great fun to sit and pop all the air bubbles for kids.

Be patient, take your time, and do not compromise on the exact layout you need. Panic buy with the wrong layout and you'll continually regret it.

  • Look at motorhome specific clubs, club members look after their mh. Not after quick sale
  • Check with local campsite owners
  • Always get it checked out mechanically and get a habitation and gas check and a damp scheme
