It’s being reported on social media that the Disneyland Hotel has started turning away non-hotel guests as of November 1, 2025.
The Disney Hotels Rules page on the official Disneyland Paris website also confirms this change, stating that only hotel guests or individuals with a confirmed reservation for a specific service (such as a restaurant, the Spa, or the My Royal Dream experience) are now allowed to enter the Disneyland Hotel.
This also means that non-hotel guests (or guests without a confirmed reservation for a specific service) are unable to visit the Royal Collection Boutique to purchase merchandise from the exclusive Disneyland Hotel collection or enjoy a drink at the Fleur de Lys Bar.
When the Disneyland Hotel reopened in early 2024, similar access restrictions were initially in place. These rules were meant to control crowds of Disneyland Paris fans and other visitors who wanted to take a look inside the newly refurbished hotel without staying there. However, Disney lifted those restrictions shortly after reopening, allowing everyone to explore the hotel’s public spaces freely, including the La Troupe Royale activity, where Disney Princesses shortly meet guests. This experience became a popular spot for Disney fans hoping to meet a Disney princess.
The official Disneyland Hotel website has now been updated under the Hotel Access section (in both French and English) to include the following statement:
1.1. Access Control: For safety reasons and to preserve the quality of the experience for hotel guests, access to the Disneyland Hotel is strictly reserved to:
• Guests staying at the hotel;
• Individuals with a confirmed reservation for a specific service (restaurants, Spa, “My Royal Dream,” seminar room, etc.).
According to reports shared in various Facebook groups and fan pages, guests without a valid MagicPass from the hotel or a confirmed dining or My Royal Dream reservation are being denied entry at the entrance near Fantasia Gardens.
While many fans are disappointed by this decision, it’s understandable that Disneyland Paris wants to keep the hotel exclusive and calm for its guests, especially with the busy Disney Enchanted Christmas season and the end of the year just around the corner.
For now, all other Disney Hotels at Disneyland Paris remain open to non-hotel guests who wish to visit, except for Disney Davy Crockett Ranch, which, as usual, requires a reservation for either a stay or the restaurant. Parking at the Disney Hotels is also only allowed with a confirmed reservation.
