Disneyland Paris packing list for families

Disneyland Paris feels like the parks you know, but with Paris weather, which means rain and cool evenings in any month. Here is how I pack for it with kids so a shower never ends the day.

Kristina's notes on Disneyland Paris

  1. Paris weather changes fast, and rain is common in every season. I pack ponchos and a light waterproof jacket for everyone, even in summer.
  2. The resort is about 40 minutes from central Paris on the RER train. I like to do the parks first and finish with Paris, so the kids get their big days while they still have energy.
  3. Two or three park days is plenty for most families. It is smaller than the Florida resort, so build in a hotel pool afternoon instead of rushing.
