Our Top Tips for Visiting Disneyland Paris in October
One of our biggest tips for guests staying at Disneyland Paris during the month of October is to stay on-site, if you budget allows it. When creating this guide, we found that many Disney hotels were actually cheaper than partner hotels. The DLP Hotels are located very close to the parks with each only a short 5-10 minute walk or bus ride to and from the park, which makes it far easier to change clothes, add extra layers or take a break if needed!
Our other top tips include;
- Try to book the first weeks of October for the lowest Hotel prices and lower crowd levels.
- Take advantage of Extra Magic Time (EMT).
- Meet Disney characters in your hotel. Each morning or evening you can meet a selection of Disney Characters with your hotel, and you can often find even shorter queue lines.
