Appreciation to my father who told me about this web site, this blog is really amazing.
If you “just” need an antygen test (and not a PCR), I suggest you yo save some money (at least, 20 €) by going to the Pharmacy Val d’Europe. They also do tests there (both PCR and antygen) but without the “administrative cost” (different word for “our profit” of 20 €) that they charge at Disney. Just take the RER to Val d’Europe, and walk 3 min. The pharmacie is at the entrance.
This is what I did two weeks ago. We were 5…saved 100 € (okay, less the RER ticket, around 16 € roundtrip for all of us).
Thank you for this information, great to see more of these being placed in and around the parks
I have had my two COVID vacations , do I need to have. a COVID test to go into Disney land Paris.
At the moment you wont need to do any other tests to visit Disneyland Paris. If from the UK make sure you download a copy of your vaccination from the NHS app as you will need to show this along with your park reservation ticket to enter the park.
However, to return to the UK you will need to book a PCR test at Disney Village and a day 2 test in the uk.
