Staying at Disneyland Paris will become more expensive in 2024 due to the Olympic Games

Tourists visiting Disneyland Paris this year will face significantly higher tourist tax rates. These increases are part of a broader regional shift in Île-de-France, which also covers the wider Paris area. Guests staying at Disney Hotels will feel the effects of these rate changes, with increases of up to 187 per cent.

Tourist tax

Recent changes to rates include an increase for five-star hotels, including the Disneyland Hotel, from 3.75 euros to 10.73 euros per person per night. Four-star hotels, such as Disney Newport Bay Club and Disney Hotel New York – The Art of Marvel, must now charge €8.13 instead of €2.88. Guests at three-star hotels, including Disney Sequoia Lodge and Disney Hotel Cheyenne, will also see an increase from €1.88 to €5.20 per person per night. Even two-star hotels, such as Disney Hotel Santa Fe, are not escaping the increase, with a tourist tax of 3.25 euros per person per night instead of 1.13 euros.

Olympic Games

These fare changes are being introduced in the run-up to the Olympic Games, which will take place in Paris this summer. The hope is that this will enable the city to benefit from the expected influx of millions of tourists.

The increased tourist tax is not only noticeable when booking hotels on the Disneyland Paris website. These rates apply in all municipalities within the Île-de-France region, which means that other accommodations in the vicinity of Paris are also affected.

Financing of new metro line

The additional revenue generated by the tax increase will be largely invested in the development of tourist attractions. Île-de-France Mobilités (IDFM), the organisation responsible for managing public transport in Paris, will benefit from the proceeds. The money will contribute to the Grand Paris Express plan, an ambitious project with a price tag of 35 billion euros, aimed at expanding the metro network in and around Paris.

These changes in tariffs underscore broader efforts to improve infrastructure and promote mobility in the region.
