Bonjour Mark and welcome to planDisney.
I am so excited to see that you're planning a trip "across the pond" to visit my favourite European holiday destination -
Disneyland Paris! If you ask me, Sleeping Beauty Castle is without doubt the
fairest of them all and even comes complete with it's very own dragon, lurking beneath.
To answer your question, when booking a
Hotel + Ticket package, directly with Disneyland Paris, Park Tickets which provide access to both Disneyland Park and Walt Disney Studios Park (which is soon to be renamed
Disney Adventure World), are included for every day of your visit including both your arrival and departure days.
As an alternative, you could book a room only stay at a
Disney Hotel and purchase stand-alone 2-day
Park Tickets.
If I were you, I would recommend pricing up both options to see which one works out to be the most cost effective. You will need to
call the Client Relation Center in order to get a price for/book a room-only reservation.
As Park Tickets are highly discounted when included as part of a Hotel + Ticket package, you might find that there isn't much difference in price, between the two different options. If this is the case, I would definitely recommend booking a Hotel + Ticket package. Having the ability to visit the Disney Parks at any point during your stay is a real bonus and allows you to soak up every single moment of magic!
You never know, you might just find that you can catch
Disney Tales of Magic on the evening of your arrival day. Or, you may be able to squeeze in one last ride on your favourite attraction or, get one last hug from your favourite Disney character, on the morning of your departure.
I hope that this information has been use, Mark. Please feel free to re-visit us, here at planDisney, if we can be of any further help with the planning of your upcoming trip.
Wishing you a magical holiday filled with memories which will last a lifetime!
Emma
