Tis the season my friends, yes the season of Disney Price Increases. In the last weeks we’ve seen a WDW Disney Dining Plan Price increase, a Ticket Price increase for both WDW and Disneyland California, and now we see the Disneyland Paris Annual Pass price going up. And they aren’t going up only a little…
Here are the new prices for a Disneyland Paris Annual Pass:
- Discovery: 150 days for €139 (US$147)
- Magic Flex: 300 days for €189 (US$200)
- Magic Plus: 350 days for €249 (US$264)
- Infinity: 365 days for €399 (US$422)
One thing you’ll notice is how inexpensive a Disneyland Paris Annual Pass in compared with their American counterparts. But while those prices might not seem too bad, the price on the 365-Day ticket is still basically doubling from last year! Here are the old prices:
This is a departure from the affordability of the old pricing tiers, as below:
- Classic: 200 days for €135 (US$143)
- Fantasy: 320 days for €179 (US$189)
- Dream: 365 days for €223 (US$236)
Is the price increase justified?
Disney is however including parking and Photopass in the price of the Infinity Pass which makes the increase sting a little less, as well as a 50% discount on Disney hotels and 40% off the price with a Magic Flex or Magic Plus pass. That does make it a lot more affordable and you could make most of your savings back right there. That would be nice in the WDW Annual Pass!
Now this is all interesting also because recently The Walt Disney Company has made it clear that it wants to buy out all shares of the Disneyland Paris Resort from the Euro Disney S.C.A company, so it can have more control of the park and run it the way Disney wants. Disneyland Paris has basically had problems from the start and has lost money in more years than it has made it. Disney wants to be able to run and expand the 2 parks as it seems fit which means we will probably be seeing some new attractions and lands coming. Star Wars Land? Toy Story? Frozen? All possibilities once Disney has control. It should be exciting to see what’s in store for the future of Disneyland Paris…

My name is Ziggy and I love Disney, everything Disney! I grew up on Disney and it has and continues to be a huge part of my life. I started young when my parents took me to Disney World when I was 18 months old. Little did they know that would be the first of an uncountable number of trips we would take. I have so many amazing memories going to Disney with my family and friends and it has been interwoven into my DNA.

You're welcome ! It would be a pleasure to meet you during D23 !
I'm looking for the better way to enjoy food experience in Disneyland, like best snacks and menu for exemple. I choose restaurants, I'm waiting for the opening of reservations, I want to eat at Ariel's Grotto, Blue Bayou, Wine Country Trattoria and a breakfast at PCH Grill, I stay 5 days, so I can choose Quick Service and snacks to complete ! What are your favourite ? :)
If you have tips and advices about Fast Pass and shows (best places to see it) it would be perfect ! Thank you !

Hi Ziggy, I'm @Tonksounette on Twitter, I recently discover your account and therefore your blog. I would like to congratulate you and thank you for your work about the world of Disney parks. Your blog is very good, and even if english is not my native language (I'm french, from Paris) youre articles are clear and very interesting, especially about WDW and how to plan a trip. I choose this article to post a comment because I often go to Disneyland Paris and this is my second home. (I'm really enthousiast about these new annual pass !) I can't wait to go back to WDW, I miss this place every day of my life since the day I discover it, but sadly my next trip will not be for now, i'm waiting for Star Wars land and Toy Story land to go back to this happy place ! Thanks to your blog I'm sure I'll be prepared to plan this trip in the greatest conditions ! Thanks you again for your work. This summer I'll go to Disneyland Resort during a week (and to the D23). Do you have some tips about this resort ? Have a good day !
