Tue, 12 Aug 2025 08:00:00 Z

When it comes to Disneyland® Paris, there’s something truly special about waking up just moments away from Sleeping Beauty Castle. Staying onsite isn’t just about convenience — it’s about immersing yourself in the magic from the moment you open your eyes until long after the fireworks fade. From exclusive perks to enchanting Disney theming, here’s why staying at a Disney Hotel makes your visit even more magical.

Step Into the Story

Every Disney Hotel at Disneyland® Paris has its own unique theme, turning your stay into part of the adventure. Whether you’re surrounded by royal elegance at the magnificent Disneyland Hotel, inspired by your favourite Super Heroes at Disney Hotel New York – The Art of Marvel, or relaxing in the rustic tranquillity of Disney Sequoia Lodge, each hotel has its own story to tell.

Every detail — from the décor to the music — is crafted to transport you into another world. You’ll find beautifully themed rooms, immersive surroundings, and that unmistakable touch of Disney magic that continues long after you’ve left the parks for the day.

Exclusive Perks You’ll Love

When you stay onsite, you’ll enjoy Extra Magic Time, allowing you to enter the Disney Parks before they open to the general public. This means extra time for rides, fewer queues, and more chances to explore at your own pace — perfect for those early morning castle selfies or a quiet spin on Peter Pan’s Flight.

You’ll also love how close everything is. Most hotels are within walking distance of the parks, while complimentary shuttles make travelling effortless. After an exciting day of adventures, being just minutes from your room is a perk you’ll truly appreciate.

Dining Made Easy

Guests staying at Disney Hotels can make their trip even more seamless by adding a Disney Dining Plan when booking. This gives you the freedom to enjoy a variety of restaurants across the resort, from buffet-style meals to themed dining experiences.

One of the highlights for families is the chance to meet beloved Disney Characters during select dining experiences available throughout the hotels and parks. With a dining plan, you can plan ahead to enjoy these magical encounters, making mealtimes as memorable as the rides themselves.

Seamless Disney Service, Every Step of the Way

From the moment you check in, Disney’s exceptional service ensures a smooth and stress-free stay. Cast Members are always ready to help with dining reservations, park planning and helpful tips to make your experience even more magical.

Center Parcs Europe, Park De Haan trip report

Wed, 27 Nov 2024 10:17:41 Z

I recently travelled to Center Parcs Europe, Park De Haan in Belgium. I travelled via Eurostar from London St Pancras with a through ticket covering all Belgium stations via local train. Although this service is an excellent way to travel to Belgium especially if visiting Bruges for the Christmas markets I would suggest travelling by car as the drive is a short 1 hour and 30 minutes from Calais.

Day 1

On arrival to Park De Haan we were welcomed at the gate in the taxi from the station (Blankenberge) and handed our wrist bands. The wristbands gave us access to our accommodation, we also loaded activities to them and they access the lockers in the pool changing rooms in the Aqua Mundo. We arrived late afternoon and headed to Frites for a quick service meal and booked in our activities. This can be done online by logging in via or at the booths near reception. Last stop for the evening was the supermarket to stock up on essentials for our VIP Cottage.

The VIP Cottage came with a welcome pack with kitchen amenities, tea towels and bath towel package which is great to avoid bringing too much from home. Our VIP cottage was private with outdoor decking, BBQ, pizza oven, indoor full kitchen facilities and 2 bedrooms. One highlight is the infrared sauna after a long day of exploring. We were a short walk away from the Market Dome, however for those further away you can hire bikes and golf carts.

Day 2

The next morning we took full advantage of the facilities starting with the Aqua Mundo, a beautiful lagoon style pool setting with 2 water slides, an outside body water rapids (this was brilliant fun), jacuzzi and lazy river, plus an area for little ones to splash around. After lunch we had our 1st activity 16 euros for 1 hour hire of the badminton court which can accommodate up to 4 people. We also had a game of bowling for 35 euros, this can be for up to 8 people and and as many games you can fit within the hour. For the 2 of us this meant 3 games of bowling. We finished the day with an Italian Il Giardino restaurant which is best to be booked in advance as it is very popular, this can be done online or at the restaurant. There is also a buffet restaurant serving breakfast and dinner available.

Day 3

The next day we hopped on the tram approximately 10 minutes walk from the park entrance with a further 10 minutes on the tram into Blankenberge. From Blankenberge you can catch the train to Bruges again within 10 minutes, overall a short journey if wishing to avoid taking the car to Bruges. Park De Haan is on the coast with the beach less than 800m away, excellent for a summer stay. During our time in Bruges we hopped on a boat trip for 15 euros per person to see some of the local historical sites. We also sampled Belgian hot chocolate and of course Belgian waffles with more Belgian chocolate sauce! We we a little early for the Christmas markets but they were setting up ready to open on 22nd November. They do however have a few Christmas shops open close to the main square. After a long day in Bruges we headed back to Park De Haan, exploring the outside area with the farm, park and Autumn colours on the lakeside beach. Finally we took another dip in the Aqua Mundo which was now magical with the outside being dark. The body rapids (Wild Water Rapids) was so much fun lit up under the dark sky and the steaming warm outdoor pool twinkling under the evening sky. It was quieter in the evening and more relaxing, I would definitely recommend an evening dip.

Day 4

Our final day was to head home, this is when the car would have been easier to hop in and head to Calais. We did have the pleasure of travelling 1st class from Blankenberge back to Brussels for our Eurostar journey due to having Standard Plus on the Eurostar. Standard Plus on the Eurostar includes extra space and a light meal and drinks for the journey home (previously called Standard Premier).

I cannot wait to explore more of the Center Parcs Europe collection. This is my second park after visiting Villages Nature Paris a few times previously. If you like a mix of adventure, relaxation and exploring new destinations then Center Parcs Europe bookable with us at MagicBreaks is definitely for you. My son who travelled with me and theme park mad loved Villages Nature for being close to Disney, he also informed me we have to go back to Belgium for Plopsaland and De Kempervennan to explore Efteling resort. https://magicbreaks.co.uk/center-parcs-europe/

Disneyland Paris for First-Timers: What You Need to Know

Thu, 18 Jul 2024 08:00:00 Z

Located just outside of the French capital, Disneyland Paris promises its lucky visitors an unforgettable magical adventure that's easily accessible from the UK and the rest of Europe. Whether you're a thrill-seeker wanting to experience the rush of the rollercoasters or you're a serlf-confessed Disney super fan looking to immerse yourself in the magic of your favourite characters, there's something for everyone at Disneyland Paris.

For first-time visitors, planning is the key to a successful trip. With so much to see and do, it can be very easy to become overwhelmed trying to squeeze everything in. From being able to navigate the park correctly right through to nailing down the best dining options, a little preparation will go a long way once you are there.

In this handy guide, our Disney specialists have given their essential tips and insider advice to help maximise your time in Disneyland Paris ensuring it is a holiday to remember.

Tip 1: Plan Ahead and Book Early

As you can imagine, Disneyland Paris is one of the world’s most busiest theme parks, attracting visitors from all over the world. It is always the best option to BOOK EARLY as this guarantees your entry to the park and also allows you a wider choice of hotels and room types that you can often find with better prices. If you like a bargain, the best times to visit the Park is during the off-peak period between January to March, and October to November. You’ll notice fewer crowds, shorter wait times on all rides and attractions and much more affordable rates for hotels. Weekdays are also a great time to visit the parks for a more relaxed experience, and if you want to visit for special occasions such as Halloween and Christmas, expect things to be very busy and a lot more expensive!

Tip 2: Understand the Park Layout

There are two main parks that make up the magic of Disneyland Paris: Disneyland Park and Walt Disney Studios Park. Disneyland Park is the original Disney experience, with fairy-tale charm everywhere you look that is divided into five themed worlds. Main Street, U.S.A., Frontierland, Adventureland, Fantasyland, and Discoveryland. Each world offers an incredibly unique and immersive setting with themed restaurants, shops, and attractions like the iconic Sleeping Beauty Castle through to the thrilling Star Wars-inspired Hyperspace Mountain.

Walt Disney Studios Park switches the focus from fairy-tales and happily ever afters to behind the scenes action of some of the world’s most loved movies and animations. Here, you’ve got four main areas to explore: Front Lot, Toon Studio, Production Courtyard, and Backlot. It is at Walt Disney Studios Park where you can get lost in the world of Ratatouille and experience the terrifying freefall drop of The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror.

Tip 3: Prioritize Must-See Attractions

No matter what time of year you visit, the Park will always be fairly busy. We’d suggest making a list of the attractions you want to see or do the most so as not to disappoint. As self-confessed Disney specialists, we’ve put together a handy list of what we think are the top attractions for each park at Disneyland® Paris.

In Disneyland Park, the top attractions you shouldn't miss include:

Sleeping Beauty Castle: Explore the castle and its dragon lair.
Big Thunder Mountain: A thrilling mine train roller coaster.
Pirates of the Caribbean: A swashbuckling boat ride.
Space Mountain: An exhilarating space-themed coaster.
Peter Pan's Flight: A magical journey over London and Neverland.
It's a Small World: A classic, family-friendly boat ride.

In Walt Disney Studios Park, be sure to check out:

Ratatouille: The Adventure: A 4D culinary adventure.
The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror: A chilling free-fall experience.
Crush's Coaster: A fun and fast spinning ride.
RC Racer: A high-speed U-shaped track ride.
Slinky Dog Zigzag Spin: Perfect for younger children.
Studio Tram Tour: A behind-the-scenes look at movie magic.

Tip 4: Make Dining Reservations in Advance

It is essential to plan and book your dining reservations well in advance. As mentioned already, the Park is busy pretty much year-round and so guests wanting to dine in the restaurants should book as soon as possible after booking.

This can be done up to 12 months in advance and is always advised if you’re wanting to dine at popular restaurants like Bistrot Chez Remy, Captain Jacks – Restaurant des Pirates, and Manhattan Restaurant inside Disney’s Hotel New York – The Art of Marvel.

Tip 5: Download the Disneyland Paris App

As you can imagine, our staff have been to Disneyland® Paris over the years more times than most and one thing that everyone always mentions is how much of a game changer the official Disneyland® Paris app is.

The app makes navigating the parks so much easier as it eliminates the need for the old-school paper maps. Everything you need is right there on your phone which means more time enjoying the magic and less time trying to figure out where you are. In addition to navigating around the Park, you’ll also have access to wait times for rides and attractions in real time. This means you can take a look at which rides have the shortest lines which is ideal for those with a limited amount of time.

Another important feature of the official Disneyland® Paris app is your ability to make restaurant reservations. This is particularly useful because as we’ve just mentioned, some popular restaurants can get booked up very quickly. Oh – and if you’re anything like us you’ll love the fact you can browse the menus of restaurants ahead of time!

Tip 6: Plan for Different Weather Conditions

Paris experiences all four seasons quite distinctly being situated in Western Europe. In the spring (March to May), the weather is usually mild with occasional showers, so a light jacket and an umbrella are good to have. Summer (June to August) brings warmer temperatures, sometimes reaching up to 30°C (86°F), so think light clothing, hats, and plenty of suncream as there is limited amount of shade. Autumn (September to November) cools down again and can be quite wet, so layers and rain gear are essential. Winter (December to February) can get pretty cold, sometimes dipping below freezing, so warm coats, gloves, and scarves are a must.

Tip 7: Budget for Souvenirs and Extras

Even if you get a great deal through MagicBreaks on your Disneyland® Paris holiday, souvenirs and extras is when costs can start to all add up. If you’re worried about how much spending money you may need, start by deciding how much you want to spend overall, then break it down into categories: food, souvenirs, and extras. Consider using cash or a prepaid card for these expenses to help you keep track of your spending. For food, you can save money by bringing some snacks and water bottles with you. There’s free water taps all over the Park, so a great tip is to bring a squeezy squash bottle. Set a daily budget for souvenirs and stick to it by choosing your favorite items wisely. Remember, you don’t have to buy everything on the first day – take your time to explore all the shops before making your final decisions.

Conclusion

If you’re a first-time visitor, you’re in for an unforgettable experience. Disneyland Paris is a place where dreams come true, and with these tips, you’ll be well-prepared to make the most of your trip. Remember, it’s all about enjoying the magic, so take your time, savor the moments with your friends and family, and create wonderful memories

A visit to Disneyland® Paris is always a magical experience, and dining at its famous restaurants is always an important part of the adventure. On an average day, upwards of 50,000 people walk through the gates meaning there are usually a lot of mouths to feed.

To make sure you get the most out of your magical trip, it is essential to plan and book your dining reservations well in advance. Here at MagicBreaks, we know there is a lot to a Disney holiday, so we have written an article on how to secure your dining reservations.

Book Early to Secure Your Spot

To ensure availability, especially for popular restaurants, guests should make their reservation as soon as possible after booking their holiday, this can be done up to 12 months in advance for Disney hotel guests. This is crucial for securing dining spots at popular restaurants like Bistrot Chez Remy and Captain Jack’s, and most importantly, any character dining experiences.

One of the biggest benefits of staying at a Disneyland Paris hotel and adding meal plans is you will receive your Disney Reference within 48 hours. This will allow you to start making reservations immediately once the booking is synchronised with the Disney app.

Upgrading to Character Dining with a Meal Plan

If you have booked your Disney holiday with a meal plan and wish to upgrade further to a character dining experience, the process is so straightforward. If you have booked with a MagicBreaks agent, then simply speak directly to your booking agent to help secure your preferred timing.

If you have booked online, you can contact live chat support and a friendly agent will be on hand to help you, just make sure you have your booking reference handy. For detailed information on character dining options, visit our Character Meals information page.

Recommended Dining Experiences

Disneyland® Paris has over 70 wonderfully themed restaurants dishing up a wide variety of fresh and tasty food. You can choose from all-you-can-eat buffets, sweet and sticky BBQs, succulent steaks, warming Tex-Mex, right through to fancy high-end cuisine in the Disneyland Hotel.

It is important to look ahead at the many restaurants available and select which ones you want to visit.

La Table de Lumiere
As part of the Disneyland Hotel’s incredible refurbishment, the flagship restaurant La Table de Lumiere serves lucky diners the finest of French cuisine alongside a selection of royal Disney characters. Each dish tells a story, with freshly poached langoustine, seared fillet of sole, lobster, herb-crusted roast lamb washed down with a glass or two of Taittinger champagne for the ultimate dining experience. Exclusive to the Disneyland Hotel guests.

Bistrot Chez Remy

Continuing with the French theming, Bistrot Chez Remy transports guests to the animated streets of Paris in homage to one of our favourite Disney/Pixar films, Ratatouille. Upon entering, guests are ‘shrunken’ down to the size of a rat with giant plates and cutlery creating a playful magical atmosphere. Dishes include the famous Ratatouille, French onion soup, grilled steaks, and roasted chicken and fish.

Captain Jacks – Restaurant des Pirates

For the adventurers, Captain Jack’s – Restaurant des Pirates is a wonderful choice for those wanting an adventurous dining experience at Disneyland® Paris. Located in Adventureland, diners will find themselves in the heart of a pirate's lair. Dim lighting combined with the tropical tavern feel creates a mysterious atmosphere which is hard to beat. The menu features Caribbean-inspired dishes including mahi-mahi fish, jerk pork, cod fritters and tonka bean flavoured tart.

Manhattan Restaurant

For a more upmarket and sophisticated meal, you may want to consider booking a table at the Manhattan Restaurant located inside Disney’s Hotel New York – The Art of Marvel. The restaurant brings the chic and trendy ambiance of New York City to Disneyland® Paris alongside subtle Marvel-themed artwork and décor. American Italian is on the menu here, with herb-roasted suckling pig the star of the show, alongside veal chops, sea bass, other meats, and pasta dishes.

Character Dining Experiences

For an unforgettable breakfast or dinner, why not join some of your favourite Disney Characters for an all-you-can-eat buffet held at the stunning Victorian pavilion in Disneyland Park?

To avoid disappointment, for all these popular restaurants, it is recommended to book your table up to 12 months in advance which you can do over on the Disneyland® Paris official app.

Flexibility in Dining Reservations

Disneyland® Paris is huge, with so many attractions, shows and restaurants it can be easy to get caught up in the moment. Understandably, plans can change in an instant. Luckily, Disneyland Paris offers flexibility for such instances with free cancellation for dining reservations up to the day of the reservation which can be done via the Disneyland Paris app.

Simply head to the “My table bookings” section of your account and choose the dining option you would like to cancel. Likewise, if you are staying at a Disney hotel, you can make dining reservations through the app as soon as you make your resort booking making it easier than ever to book lunch or dinner.

If you are not staying at a Disney resort, you can still make dining reservations, but there are some restrictions. For Standard Dining Reservations, these are available 60 days before your visit. For Character breakfast dining reservations, these can be booked 3 days before your visit so make sure you keep an eye out on the days leading up to your visit! Often people cancel at the last moment meaning there are usually some tables available on the day and some restaurant do allow walk ins.

Summary

To summarise, making dining reservations at Disneyland Paris requires some planning to ensure you will have a magical and stress-free experience. Remember to book as soon as possible, especially for popular spots, and use the Disneyland Paris app for easy management of your reservations.

With the right planning, the magic does not stop with the rides and attractions but carries on with the incredible dining experiences too! If you have any questions regarding booking restaurants, don’t hesitate to get in contact with a friendly member of the MagicBreaks team!

What is Center Parcs Europe?

Wed, 17 Apr 2024 08:00:00 Z

If you’re looking for something well and truly different, then look no further than the spectacular resorts of Center Parcs Europe. Leave behind the ordinary and prepare yourself and your family for an unforgettable adventure deep into the heart of nature!

For those unfamiliar, Center Parcs Europe offers an incredible holiday experience across the continent, boasting resorts in all corners of Western Europe’s stunning countryside.

Ideal for friends and families looking for an idyllic escape in nature. Our Center Parcs Europe offerings promise exciting adventures and an endless amount of fun thanks to the abundance of activities guests can experience together.

The Center Parcs Europe concept

Unlike many other traditional holiday experiences and destinations, Center Parcs Europe offers its guests a complete self-contained environment staying in your very own cosy cottage, lodge, or apartment surrounded by nature.

Enjoy mountain biking through the dense forests of France, follow rewarding hiking trails in the Alpine hills of Germany, or stay in the resort itself and splash around in the famous Aqua Mundo waterpark, their waterparks are some of the biggest in Europe and guests of all ages will have a ‘splashing good time’!

That’s not all, all resorts come with a variety of on-site restaurants and a supermarket meaning you have everything you need on your doorstep. You aren’t just limited to one or two resorts either. A whopping 17 resorts are available to book through MagicBreaks, with 7 being in France, 6 in the Netherlands, 3 in Belgium, and 1 in Germany meaning whichever resort you choose, you’ll have a completely unique experience.

If you’re interested in finding out the best ways on how to get to some of our favourite resorts, check out our other blog post.

What about the accommodation?

The fun doesn’t stop with the activities either. Center Parcs Europe’s range of accommodation is one of its biggest selling points, with its main offering of cosy cottages providing a charming home away from home. In most resorts, you have the option of varying degrees of luxury, ranging from Comfort, Premium, and VIP cottages.

Whichever level you choose, all cottages come fully equipped with a kitchen, comfortable living area with fireplace, and private outdoor terraces perfect for relaxing in the evening sun with a barbecue enjoying the scenery.

If you’d like a place that’s a little smaller and less-maintenance, some resorts like Het Heijderbos offer hotel rooms for ultimate convenience. They provide you with a comfortable base for you to explore the resort and come with access to hotel amenities like a daily breakfast buffet and room cleaning.

For something a little more memorable, how does staying in your very own boathouse floating on the tranquil resort lake sound? In addition to the novelty of staying directly on the water, you’ll have your own private decking where you can sit back, relax and take in the view alongside all of the home comforts of one of the resorts cottages.

If that doesn’t appeal, how about staying in a luxury treehouse suspended in the middle of a forest? You’ll have large bedrooms and two stunning bathrooms, in addition to a huge flat-screen TV with Chromecast. It’s the perfect family hideaway, quite literally, in the middle of nature!

Great. So what can we do there?

The majority of resorts have upwards of 60 different activities for you and your family to enjoy, ranging from a leisurely round of minigolf, family laser battle, archery, kid’s safari, climbing walls, and more, including the all-important Aqua Mundo.

Here, you can whizz down the variety of water slides, float along the lazy river, and in some resorts, even go snorkelling with exotic fish! For the adults, there are on-site spa services where you can receive a selection of treatments designed to relax and rejuvenate.

Now I’m hungry. What about the dining options?

All resorts have several mouth-wateringly tasty restaurants for you to enjoy. Fancy traditional home-cooked Italian dishes including a range of pastas and pizzas? Nonna’s has you covered.

Or perhaps you might want a hearty and juicy steak fresh off of the grill, ideal after a hard day of exploration. Fuego Adventure Grill has also got you covered. Lighter bites and lunch are also ticked off the menu too in the Grand Café and Grabber Joe’s Laguna Café.

In short, you’ll never go hungry at Center Parcs Europe. And if you do, there’s always a fully-stocked supermarket on hand for all of life’s essentials.

What about the scenery?

Speaking of life’s essentials, here at MagicBreaks we think it’s incredibly important to spend as much time as you can doing what you love. And for us, that’s being on holiday. Even better if it’s completely surrounded by picturesque landscapes and countryside, which is one of the unique benefits of a Center Parcs Europe holiday.

A great example is the fantastic resort of Center Parcs Europe De Eemhof, perfectly located along the sandy shores of Eemmeer Lake in the Netherlands. In addition to the tranquil lake (and the fun water-based activities that come with it), you’ll also be surrounded by the stunning Horsterwold forest. This is just one specific example, but each and every resort has something special about it’s location.

So, there we have it. A complete run-down of Center Parcs Europe and what it’s all about. A relaxing retreat where we can reconnect with family and friends in the peace and quiet of Europe’s countryside is just what we all need.

Sustainable Travel with MagicBreaks

Tue, 09 Apr 2024 08:00:00 Z

In a world where our travel choices have a profound impact on our planet, it’s important to travel responsibly, and where possible, sustainably. In this blog, we’re highlighting how you can do your bit for the environment, whilst still enjoying your hard-earned holiday of a lifetime.

Did you know that flying is the single-most carbon-intensive forms of transportation, and on average, a round-trip flight from London to New York generates approximately 1.2 metric tons of CO2 per passenger? To put that into some perspective, that is the equivalent to the annual carbon emissions of driving a car for six months straight. On one flight!

We think that choosing a self-driving holiday once in a while is an excellent way of travelling sustainably. Not only does it bring environmental benefits, but you also gain flexibility and freedom with your itinerary too so wherever you choose to travel, you aren’t at the mercy of public transportation or taxis.

Eco-Friendly Escapes at Center Parcs Europe

If you’re looking for a self-driving holiday where nature is at the very heart of the trip, look no further than our brand-new selection of Center Parcs Europe resorts. Pack up the car, cross the channel via Ferry or LeShuttle, and within a few hours of driving through Europe you’ll find yourself in your very own cottage surrounded by the dense woodlands of France, the beaches of Belgium, or the lakes of the Netherlands.

Center Parcs Europe resorts are renowned for being the perfect alternative holiday destination for all of the family, partly due to the incredible facilities you’ll find at each resort. You’ll have the choice between upwards of 70 activities to take part in including archery, bowling, mountain biking and even escape rooms, in addition to several on-site restaurants, a supermarket, and of course, the Aqua Mundo. Here, you’ll discover water slides, lazy rivers, a wave pool, and a heated outdoor pool. What’s more, is that you’ll also have your car enabling you to visit any nearby town, city or attraction making it a seriously diverse holiday within nature.

All Center Parcs Europe resorts are eco-resorts too, meaning that they are semi-pedestrian with guests only being able to get around either on foot, by bike, or in an e-cart. They don’t use pesticides or chemical fertilizers on the resort’s foliage, and water consumption is limited and monitored in the Aqua Mundo.

Alternative Transportation to Disneyland® Paris

Here at MagicBreaks, it’s no secret that Disneyland® Paris is the beating heart of what we do. So naturally, it only makes sense to mention the environmentally-friendly ways of getting to the Disney® Parks.

Instead of flying, you may want to consider travelling by coach. It’s even more environmentally friendly than self-driving due to the much higher occupancy rates of the coach. More passengers are transported using less fuel per person therefore massively reducing the carbon emissions per passenger compared to driving alone or in a family. If travelling by coach is not an option for you, then self-driving to Disneyland® Paris is still an excellent sustainable means of transport, especially if you own an electric car. In fact, that is the most sustainable way of getting to the Parks, unless there’s such thing as electric coaches these days!

Exploring the UK

Our final way of keeping things sustainable on a MagicBreaks holiday is to explore the many options available to you on our very own island. Being our home, the UK is often completely forgotten about when it comes to a holiday which we think is a real shame. We’re blessed with some of the most beautiful surroundings anywhere in the world, which you can find up in the Lake District, or down southwest in Cornwall for example.

We’re pleased to offer a selection of incredible cottages and log cabins in some of the UK’s best locations from just £159pp. Enjoy 7 nights bordering the Lake District National Park, the North Cornwall/North Devon border, Somerset countryside, or even on the small island of the Isle of Wight. All of our UK breaks are self-driving and being based in the UK, perfect for a sustainable holiday!

So, there we have it. If you’re trying to be a little more eco-conscious, MagicBreaks have got you covered with several amazing options for sustainable travel. From self-driving to the eco-resorts of Center Parcs Europe, to environmentally-friendly transport to Disneyland® Paris, right through to keeping things local with breaks away in the UK.

Tourist Tax Explainer: How 2024’s New Rates Impact Your Stay at Disneyland Paris

Thu, 01 Feb 2024 10:31:00 Z

The Paris tourist tax is a compulsory tax that all visitors to the French capital aged 18 or over have to pay when staying overnight on a per person, per night basis. Unbeknown to many, the tax has actually been in place for just over 30 years now with the intention of contributing to the wider development, upkeep and promotion of tourism in the region.

It’s not just France that tourist taxes are charged, other EU nations such as Germany, Italy, Switzerland, and the Netherlands all apply a tourist tax to those staying in the large cities too. Thankfully, these fees are fairly small, usually a few euros per night.

However, with the Olympics heading to Paris this year, the French government have taken the decision to increase these tourist taxes in order to compensate for the influx of tourists expected during the Olympic Games. It can be quite difficult to find accurate information online especially when its regarding foreign policy, so we hope this short blog post will paint a more accurate picture for those wondering if Disneyland Paris guests will be affected.

All guests staying overnight in Disneyland Paris, and indeed all hotels in the Ile-de-France region, will be affected by the increased tourist tax rates, and the amount you pay depends on the standard of accommodation you are staying in.

Here’s a breakdown of the new increased tourist tax rates for Disney Hotels within Disneyland Paris (and also applicable to Disney Area Hotels too depending on the ‘star’ rating):

Disneyland Hotel: 10.73 EUR

Disney Hotel New York - The Art of Marvel: 8.13 EUR

Disney Newport Bay Club: 8.13 EUR

Disney Sequoia Lodge: 5.20 EUR

Disney Hotel Cheyenne: 5.20 EUR

Disney Hotel Santa Fe: 3.25 EUR

Disney Davy Crockett Ranch: 2.60 EUR

These rates are normally factored in to your total accommodation price when booking, however Disneyland Paris confirmed that for customers booking between 19^th December 2023 and 1^st January 2024 the incorrect tax has been charged, we have been asked to collect this on Disneyland Paris’ behalf in advance of customers arriving at the resort and for those yet to pay their balance travelling later this year, this nominal difference will be added to their balance.

We hope this blog has cleared up any confusion and provides you with accurate information regarding your stay at Disneyland Paris. We hope you have a magical time.
