Disneyland Paris with Toddlers and Babies: Complete Guide

Disneyland Paris is a wonderful destination for families with young children — but visiting with a toddler or baby calls for a very different approach than with older kids. With the right preparation, even the youngest guests can have a truly unforgettable day.

Ages and Height Requirements

Rider Switch: Enjoying the Park Together

At attractions with height restrictions, Disneyland Paris offers a Rider Switch service. Parent A rides the attraction whilst Parent B waits with the toddler. Afterwards, Parent B can enter directly through the FastPass queue — no need to queue again. Simply ask a Cast Member at the attraction entrance.

Facilities for Babies and Toddlers

• Baby Care Centres — spacious, well-equipped rooms with changing tables, microwaves and comfortable seating. In Disneyland Park, you’ll find one near Plaza Gardens on Main Street.
• Bringing your own pushchair — absolutely permitted. Pushchair parking areas are available at attraction entrances.
• Pushchair hire — available at the park entrances.

Best Attractions for Toddlers (Ages 2–5)

• It’s a Small World — a gentle boat ride that captivates almost every child.
• Dumbo the Flying Elephant — toddlers can control their own elephant, going up and down. The smiles are absolutely priceless.
• Peter Pan’s Flight — soaring above London, visually beautiful and wonderfully serene.
• Rencontre Royale with Anna & Elsa — a character meet in World of Frozen; a real highlight for any Frozen fan.
• Mickey & Friends character meet — always a hit with little ones.

Practical Tips

• Arrive early — toddlers are at their best in the morning. Aim to do your key attractions within the first two hours.
• Build in rest time — a nap or quiet stroll after lunch is essential for little ones.
• Bring your own snacks — allowed in the park. Prices on-site are high and toddlers can be wonderfully particular about what they eat.
• Write your phone number on your child — a wristband or small sticker with your number is a reassuring precaution in a busy park.

Free Entry for Under-3s

Children under the age of 3 enter Disneyland Paris completely free of charge — no ticket required for either park.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I bring a pushchair into the park?
