Disney Davy Crockett Ranch is Disneyland Paris’ campground-style resort, set among 55 hectares of woodland in Bailly-Romainvilliers just outside the main resort perimeter. Instead of hotel rooms, guests stay in one of 595 self-catering log cabins arranged along pine-shaded loops, each with a kitchenette, bunk beds for kids, and a private barbecue patio – a layout that feels closer to a family campsite than a typical Disney hotel.
It’s the most affordable way to sleep on Disney property at Disneyland Paris, and the trade-off is straightforward: there’s no hotel shuttle, so guests drive, taxi, or rideshare to the parks. That suits families who have a car, want extra space and a kitchen to cut dining costs, and still want access to Extra Magic Time and other Disney hotel perks without paying hotel-room prices.

Rooms, Theming and Dining
The Ranch’s cabins are self-catering by design: a lounge with a sofa bed, a separate bedroom with a double bed and bunk beds (two-bedroom cabins add a second sleeping room), a kitchenette, and a bathroom with a bath and shower. Each cabin has its own parking spot and outdoor barbecue area, and new Classic Cabins introduced from September 2025 add an extra single trundle bed and updated furnishings.
On-site dining centers on Crockett’s Tavern, an all-you-can-eat buffet restaurant, while the resort’s Blue Springs Pool, video arcade, tennis courts, bike rentals, and activities like archery, climbing, and pony rides give families reasons to stay on-property even without a park day planned.
Getting to the Parks and Perks
Davy Crockett Ranch is the only Disneyland Paris hotel without a complimentary shuttle bus to the parks, so guests need a car, taxi, or rideshare for the roughly 10-15 minute trip. The upside is free parking at the main theme park car park for the length of the stay, which offsets a fee other guests pay out of pocket.
Despite sitting outside the resort gates, it still counts as a Disney hotel for perk purposes: guests get Extra Magic Time, letting them enter the parks up to an hour before day visitors, plus a MagicPass that serves as their park ticket. Book more than a few days ahead and this MagicPass loads digitally to a phone before arrival; book closer to check-in and guests instead activate it and collect a physical card at the hotel’s reception desk.
Who Should Stay Here
This is the pick for budget-minded families and groups who have a car, want more room to spread out than a standard hotel room offers, and like the option to cook some meals themselves. It’s less suited to car-free travelers or anyone who wants to walk straight from their room into a park, since the drive and lack of a shuttle are real trade-offs for the lower price.

Disney Davy Crockett Ranch FAQs
Does Disney Davy Crockett Ranch have a shuttle to the parks?
No – it’s the only Disneyland Paris hotel without a free shuttle bus, so guests drive, taxi, or rideshare (about 10-15 minutes). Staying there does include free parking at the main theme park car park.
Is Disney Davy Crockett Ranch worth it for the price?
For budget-conscious families with a car, yes: it’s the cheapest Disney-owned lodging at Disneyland Paris and still includes Extra Magic Time early park entry, but the missing shuttle and extra drive time are worth weighing against the savings.
How do guests get their park tickets at the Ranch?
Park access comes via a MagicPass. If you book far enough ahead it loads to a Digital MagicPass on your phone before arrival; if you book only a few days before your stay, you activate it and collect a physical MagicPass at the hotel’s reception desk on check-in.
