Your Essential Disneyland Paris Packing List

A well-prepared Disneyland Paris packing list can make all the difference between a truly relaxed day and one filled with little niggles. With the right items, you’ll arrive calmly at the gates, ready to embrace the magic. Let’s walk through everything you truly need – from a rain poncho to a power bank.

Start with a Comfortable Backpack

A wonderful day begins with the right bag. Choose a comfortable backpack with multiple compartments, large enough for a day’s essentials but not awkwardly heavy. Carrying a backpack is completely normal at Disneyland Paris, and your bag will be briefly checked upon entry. Keep valuables, your tickets, and your phone in an easily accessible pocket.

Clothing and Footwear for a Long Day

You’ll often be in the park from morning until evening, easily walking over ten kilometres. So, be sure to bring comfortable, broken-in shoes and pack some blister plasters in your bag. Even in summer, evenings can become quite cool, so an extra layer or cardigan is a sensible addition. And because Paris weather can be unpredictable, pack a thin rain poncho for everyone. They take up hardly any space and keep the fun going if the heavens open.

Smart Saving: Bringing Your Own Food and Drink

You are welcome to bring your own food and drinks, which can save a family a significant amount of money. Consider nutritious snacks like fruit and nuts, sandwiches, wraps, and refillable water bottles. Please note that alcohol, glass containers, and large, hard cool boxes are not permitted. A handy tip: you’ll find free water refill stations – usually near the restrooms – dotted throughout both parks, where you can safely top up your bottle.

The Indispensable Power Bank

You’ll be using your phone throughout the day: for the official app with wait times (the Disneyland Paris app, which lets you track live queues), for taking photos, and for your Premier Access. A flat battery at two o’clock in the afternoon is precisely what you want to avoid. Be sure to bring a power bank of at least 10,000 mAh, along with its charging cable.

Exploring with a Baby or Toddler

If you’re travelling with little ones, you’ll find it wonderfully accommodating – the parks are perfectly set up for families. We recommend bringing both a pushchair and a baby carrier: the pushchair for covering distances, and the carrier for queueing and during shows, where pushchairs are typically not allowed inside. Also pack plenty of nappies, a change of clothes, familiar snacks, and a favourite soft toy for quiet moments. You’ll find designated areas to park your pushchair at every attraction.
