Star Wars Hyperspace Mountain features inversions, and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad is widely regarded as the best version worldwide \u2014 longer, faster, and more immersive than its U.S. counterparts.<\/p>\n<p>Looking ahead, the World of Frozen opens in March 2026, making Disney Adventure World an even bigger draw starting this spring.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_150835\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-aspectratio=\"599\/337\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-150835 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Big-Thunder-Mountain-at-Disneyland-Paris-300x169.jpeg\" alt=\"Big Thunder Mountain at Disneyland Paris\" width=\"599\" height=\"337\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Big-Thunder-Mountain-at-Disneyland-Paris-300x169.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Big-Thunder-Mountain-at-Disneyland-Paris-768x432.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Big-Thunder-Mountain-at-Disneyland-Paris.jpeg 980w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 599px) 100vw, 599px\" \/><center><em>Big Thunder Mountain at Disneyland Paris.

Next is Alice\u2019s Curious Labyrinth in Fantasyland \u2014 a hedge maze inspired by Alice in Wonderland, complete with a Queen of Hearts\u2019 Castle at its center. Finally, Avengers Assemble: Flight Force offers a Marvel-themed retelling of the Rock \u2019n\u2019 Roller Coaster experience.<\/p>\n<p>If your main priorities are the castle and the attractions unique to Disneyland Paris, a one-day park hopper ticket is usually sufficient. That calculus may change as additional expansions come online at Disney Adventure World in 2026 and 2027.<\/p>\n<p>Next, we'll look at the different ticket options available and how to use points or special discounts to purchase them.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Getting_Tickets_to_Disneyland_Paris\">Getting Tickets to Disneyland Paris<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Whether you\u2019re a seasoned Disney fan who wants to buy park hoppers and speed-run a day trip to the parks or want to purchase multiday tickets and stay overnight in Chessy, there are several ways to cover ticket costs with points. You may also qualify for one of Disneyland Paris\u2019s special discounts.<\/p>\n<p>Just keep in mind that ticket pricing is dynamic, so costs can vary significantly depending on the season.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Types_of_Disneyland_Paris_tickets\">Types of Disneyland Paris tickets<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Disneyland Paris sells two primary ticket types:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Dated tickets<\/strong> that are valid only on specific dates<\/li>\n<li><strong>Undated tickets<\/strong> that can be used any time before the end of the year in which they\u2019re purchased<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you opt for undated tickets, you\u2019ll need to reserve your park dates in advance.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_242736\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-aspectratio=\"750\/363\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-242736 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Screenshot-2026-01-08-at-2.38.08-PM.png\" alt=\"Park Hopper ticket 2026\" width=\"750\" height=\"363\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Screenshot-2026-01-08-at-2.38.08-PM.png 1026w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Screenshot-2026-01-08-at-2.38.08-PM-750x363.png 750w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Screenshot-2026-01-08-at-2.38.08-PM-900x435.png 900w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Screenshot-2026-01-08-at-2.38.08-PM-768x371.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><center><em>Credit: Disneyland Paris<\/em><\/enter><\/figure>\n<h3><span id=\"Why_you_might_want_your_tickets_to_code_as_travel\">Why you might want your tickets to code as travel<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019re trying to earn as many points as possible on vacation expenses, how your Disneyland Paris tickets code on your credit card matters.

First, the resorts are within walking distance of the parks. Second, Disney hotel guests receive 30 minutes of early park entry, which can be useful for popular attractions during busy periods.<\/p>\n<p>We've stayed in a Disneyland Paris resort and felt the perks weren't worth the price. Sure, it was nice to stay steps away from the parks, but taking the train from hotels booked on points will drop you off right at Disney's main gates.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, while it's nice to get a head start in the parks before all the off-property guests arrive, we still found ourselves standing in long lines for the most popular rides. All in all, we don't think it's necessary to stay on property at Disneyland Paris.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Booking_Disneyland_Paris_resorts_on_a_travel_portal\">Booking Disneyland Paris resorts on a travel portal<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If you do decide to stay at a Disneyland Paris resort, booking through a credit card travel portal is typically the only way to use points. Citi, Chase, and American Express all allow redemptions for Disney hotels through their portals &#8212; although the value varies widely.<\/p>\n<p>In particular, American Express redemptions at Disney hotels often provide poor value, with points worth as little as 0.6 cents each. For that reason, portal bookings are best reserved for situations where convenience matters more than maximizing point value.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_242741\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-aspectratio=\"750\/323\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-242741 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Screenshot-2026-01-08-at-3.17.49-PM.png\" alt=\"amex travel paris\" width=\"750\" height=\"323\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Screenshot-2026-01-08-at-3.17.49-PM.png 2432w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Screenshot-2026-01-08-at-3.17.49-PM-750x323.png 750w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Screenshot-2026-01-08-at-3.17.49-PM-900x387.png 900w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Screenshot-2026-01-08-at-3.17.49-PM-768x330.png 768w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Screenshot-2026-01-08-at-3.17.49-PM-1536x661.png 1536w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Screenshot-2026-01-08-at-3.17.49-PM-2048x881.png 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><center><em>Credit: Amex Travel<\/em><\/enter><\/figure>\n<h3><span id=\"Booking_lodging_near_Disneyland_with_IHG_points\">Booking lodging near Disneyland with IHG points<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>A Holiday Inn Express can be found just a 10-minute drive or a short ride on the #34 bus from Disneyland Paris.
