Book room-only by calling Disneyland Paris
Look, sometimes you just want to talk to a real-life Cast Member—no shame in that! Booking by phone is as easy as dialing up a bit of Disney magic. Here’s what you need to do:
Call the Disney Reservation Hotline
Dial up Disneyland Paris’ reservations team 03448 008 898 (don’t worry, the number’s on their website for other countries).Chat with a Friendly Cast Member
These Cast Members are absolute stars (seriously, it’s like talking to your own personal fairy godmother). Just let them know you want to book a room-only stay with your Annual Pass discount, and they’ll handle all the details for you.Confirm and Pay
After a little magical chit-chat, they’ll send you your booking confirmation, and you’re good to go. It’s as simple as saying “Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo”—no pumpkin carriages required.
Through third party websites
If you’re an Annual Pass holder, you might be used to booking your Disneyland Paris hotel stays directly through Disney. But did you know you can also book those magical stays through third-party websites like Booking.com, Agoda, and others? These sites sometimes offer deals that can be hard to pass up, but there are a few things you should know before jumping in.
Third-party sites can be a great option if you’re looking for flexibility or want to compare prices, especially if your stay doesn’t fall on dates covered by your Annual Pass perks. They’re also useful if you’re combining your Disneyland Paris trip with other travel plans. However, if you’re hoping to make the most of your AP discounts and benefits, or if you’re looking for a specific room type and perks, it might be worth sticking with Disney’s direct booking system.
Why Book Through a Third-Party Site?
- Competitive Prices
Sometimes, third-party booking platforms offer discounts that Disney doesn’t, especially if you’re booking last minute or during an off-peak season. If you’re looking for flexibility and are okay with hunting for the best deal, sites like Booking.com, Expedia, or Agoda might show lower rates for the same Disney hotels. - Bundle Offers
Third-party websites often bundle hotel stays with flights or car rentals. If you’re coming from further afield or want the convenience of booking everything in one place, these bundles can sometimes save you a nice chunk of change.
The Trade-Offs (aka Things to Watch Out For)
While there are some great perks to booking through third-party sites, there are also a few things to consider before you click “book”:
- No AP Discounts
Disneyland Paris often has special room only prices for AP Holders, which don’t apply if you book through third-party websites. If you’re an Annual Pass holder, make sure to compare the price difference to see if the deal you’re getting still makes sense without that sweet AP discount. - Room Type and Availability
Sometimes third-party sites may not have access to all the room types or specific theming options you want. If you’ve got your heart set on a certain room with a castle view, you might be better off booking directly through Disney to secure exactly what you’re looking for. - Issues With Changes
Need to make a change to your reservation? It’s much easier to modify or adjust bookings made directly through Disney. If you book through a third-party site and need to tweak your dates or room preferences, you might have to go through a longer process with more restrictions.
Pro Tips for Booking Your Room-Only Stay (You’ll Thank Us Later)
Booking a room-only stay as an Annual Pass holder might sound simple enough, but there are a few tricks that can help you unlock even more magic (and maybe save some extra euros for that special souvenir!). Here are our top tips for making your room-only booking experience smoother,
1. Book Early to Grab the Best Deals
When it comes to Disneyland Paris hotels, the early bird does catch the worm—or in this case, the best rooms and discounts! The earlier you book, the more likely you are to secure the room type and hotel you want. If you’re dreaming of staying at one of the premium hotels such as Hotel New York – The Art of Marvel or the Disneyland Hotel, it’s best to act fast. Plus, booking early means better rates—who doesn’t love a little extra in their wallet for treats in the parks?
2. Flexible Dates = More Magic
If your schedule allows, try to be flexible with your travel dates. Not only could you avoid peak crowds (and longer lines), but you might also find better hotel availability and lower prices. For example, weekdays and off-peak times can be quieter and often come with more availability, especially if you’re aiming for those hard-to-book deluxe hotels. Check the Disneyland Paris calendar for less busy times—it’s a game-changer!
3. Stay in the Know with AP Discounts
Your Annual Pass is more than just your ticket to the parks—it’s a golden key to exclusive discounts, including on hotel stays. Keep an eye out for any special offers or promotions that might pop up for Annual Pass holders. Disneyland Paris often rolls out discounts on room-only bookings throughout the year, especially during off-peak seasons. Make sure you check the My Disneyland Pass section of the website for the latest deals before you book!
4. Access to Extra Magic Time
Annual Passes come with varying perks, depending on which pass you have. If you’re a Disneyland Pass Gold holder, you’re entitled to Extra Magic Time no matter the hotel you’re staying at, but all passholders will get access to Extra Magic Time when staying in a Disney Hotel.
5. Consider All Hotel Options
While it’s easy to get starry-eyed over the more luxurious hotels like Disneyland Hotel or Newport Bay Club, don’t forget about the value and moderate resorts like Hotel Cheyenne or Hotel Santa Fe. These options still offer incredible Disney theming and perks, but at a more budget-friendly price. Plus, they’re just a short walk or shuttle ride away from the parks.
6. Stack Your Discounts
Did you know that your Annual Pass discounts don’t stop at hotel rooms? You can also enjoy savings in Disney shops and restaurants. So while you’re budgeting for your trip, remember that the money you save on your room-only booking could go toward meals or shopping—with an extra 10-15% off at many locations thanks to your AP. It’s like getting a little bonus every time you tap that pass.
With these pro tips in your back pocket, you’re all set to score the perfect Disneyland Paris room-only stay, stress-free and full of Disney magic. Happy planning—you’re going to love it!
