Disneyland Paris includes six on-site partner hotels that are not managed by The Walt Disney Company but provide free shuttle buses to the parks: B&B Hotel, Algonquin's Explorers Hotel and Campanile Val de France. There are also two associated hotels located in Val d'Europe: Adagio Marne-la-Vallée Val d'Europe and Hôtel l'Élysée Val d'Europe.

===Transport===
[[File:Marne-la-Vallee-RER.jpg|250px|right|thumb|Marne-la-Vallée – Chessy station, view to the platform area]]
A large railway station, [[Gare de Marne-la-Vallée–Chessy|Marne-la-Vallée–Chessy]], is located between the theme parks and Disney Village. It opened on 1 April 1992 and is notably served by [[Réseau Express Régional|regional express]] line [[RER A]] which provides a direct connection with the centre of Paris and for further connections, direct to [[Gare de Lyon|Paris-Gare-de-Lyon]].

The railway station is also served by long-distance high-speed [[TGV]] and [[Ouigo]] trains offering direct services to many cities across France. There are also Thalys services to both Brussels and Amsterdam.

[[Eurostar]] services were introduced between Disneyland Paris and [[St Pancras railway station|London St Pancras International]] in 1996. These were suspended on 7 June 2023, though Eurostar announced they may be reinstated the following year. Customers can still travel from St Pancras to the resort by changing trains at [[Lille Europe station|Lille Europe]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Trains between London and Disneyland paris from 7 June 2023 |url=https://www.eurostar.com/uk-en/travel-info/service-information/eurostar-travel-updates |access-date=3 July 2023 |website=Eurostar}}</ref> The suspension has been caused by the financial collapse of Eurostar during the COVID-19 pandemic, and further complications with post-Brexit border controls although Eurostar intends to revisits options the following year.<ref>{{Cite news |date=26 August 2022 |title=Eurostar axes direct London to Disneyland Paris trains from 2023 after 27 years |url=https://www.mylondon.news/lifestyle/travel/eurostar-axes-direct-london-disneyland-24865453 |access-date=3 July 2023 |work=mylondon.news}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |date=1 September 2022 |title=Eurostar to suspend direct trains to Disneyland Paris |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-62728618 |publisher=[[BBC News]]}}</ref>

Free Disney shuttle buses provide transport to all Disney hotels and Les Villages Nature Paris (except Disney Davy Crockett Ranch) and Associated Hotels. They are accessed from the Disneyland bus station.

===Backstage===
Disneyland Paris has strict rules designed to prevent guests from seeing backstage areas of the park. Photography and filming are strictly forbidden in all backstage areas. The edges of the parks are lined with ride buildings and foliage to hide areas that are not for the public to see. Numerous area gates allow entrance into the park for cast members, parade floats, etc. When area gates around the park are open, anything that can be seen through them is considered to be on-stage and part of the "Disney Magic". Therefore, from the moment the gates are open, all of the cast must be in character and place to 'perform'. As the complex is so big, shuttle buses take cast members to different parts of the parks via service roads located around the perimeter of the parks.

Many attractions are housed in large, soundstage-like buildings called "show buildings", some of which are partially or completely disguised by external theming. Most show buildings have off-white flat roofs that support HVAC units and footpaths for maintenance cast members. Housed inside the show buildings are the actual attractions, which include hidden walkways, service areas, control rooms, and other backstage operations.
