    My child will be 12 does he need a child or adult ticket

    Bonjour!

    Welcome to planDisney, pal! It is always a pleasure to say hello to fellow Guests from the UK, you're always welcome over here at planDisney! It looks like you are planning a Disneyland Paris adventure, with your little adventurer right by your side!

    At Disneyland Paris, Guests aged 12 years and above will require an adult ticket to experience all of the magic at both Disneyland Park and Disney Adventure World. At 12 years old, it is very likely they will be able to enjoy lots of the fun family attractions, as well as the bigger thrill rides, as long as they meet the height requirements, of course! The price difference between child and adult tickets is fairly small. I always recommend pricing up a Hotel + Ticket Package alongside ticket-only options and hotels off-site. These packages are very competitively priced and offer great value, which includes Extra Magic Time each morning before regular opening hours, a Disney Hotel a short walk from the Disney Parks, and heavily discounted Disney Park tickets included as standard.

    If you are thinking about visiting this year, there will be even more magic to enjoy from 29th March. This date marks the opening of the biggest expansion to come to Disneyland Paris in at least 20 years! You and your family will be able to explore the World of Frozen and enjoy the brand-new nighttime spectacular, Disney Cascade of Lights. That said, whenever you choose to visit Disneyland Paris, there really is so much magic waiting around every corner!

    I hope this answers your question today! As you continue to plan your trip, if any other questions pop up, please reach out to me here at planDisney. I'd love to help!

    See ya real soon!
