Tourist Tax Explainer: How 2024’s New Rates Impact Your Stay at Disneyland Paris

The Paris tourist tax is a compulsory charge that all visitors to the French capital aged 18 or over have to pay when staying overnight, on a per person, per night basis. Unbeknown to many, the tax has actually been in place for more than 30 years, with the intention of contributing to the wider development, upkeep and promotion of tourism in the region.

It is not just France where tourist taxes are charged. Other EU nations such as Germany, Italy, Switzerland and the Netherlands also apply a tourist tax to those staying in major cities, with these fees usually amounting to only a few euros per night.

However, with the Olympics heading to Paris in 2024, the French government took the decision to increase these tourist taxes in order to compensate for the expected influx of visitors during the Games. It can be difficult to find clear information online, especially when it relates to travel rules in another country, so we hope this short blog post gives a clearer picture for guests planning a stay at Disneyland Paris.

All guests staying overnight in Disneyland Paris, and indeed all hotels in the Ile de France region, were affected by the increased tourist tax rates, with the amount payable depending on the standard of accommodation booked.

Tourist tax rates for Disneyland Paris hotels in 2024

Here is a breakdown of the increased tourist tax rates for Disney Hotels within Disneyland Paris. These were also applicable to nearby partner properties depending on the official star rating, so it was worth checking whether you were staying on site or booking one of the off site alternatives.

• Disneyland Hotel: 10.73 EUR

• Disney Hotel New York, The Art of Marvel: 8.13 EUR

• Disney Newport Bay Club: 8.13 EUR

• Disney Sequoia Lodge: 5.20 EUR

• Disney Hotel Cheyenne: 5.20 EUR

• Disney Hotel Santa Fe: 3.25 EUR

• Disney Davy Crockett Ranch: 2.60 EUR

These rates are usually factored into your total accommodation price when booking. However, Disneyland Paris confirmed that for customers booking between 19th December 2023 and 1st January 2024, the incorrect tax had been charged. We were therefore asked to collect this on Disneyland Paris' behalf in advance of guests arriving at the resort and, for those yet to pay their balance and travelling later in the year, this nominal difference was added to the balance.

This applied across both Disney Hotels and nearby partner hotels, depending on the rating of the accommodation booked.
