Magic Kingdom, Tokyo DisneySea, Disneyland Paris… The Disney Parks Worldwide are far more numerous and varied than one might think. In 2026, Disney manages 12 theme parks spread across 6 destinations on 3 continents, in addition to 8 cruise ships and 2 private islands. This guide covers each destination, with 2026 new attractions, up-to-date prices, and the best ways to access them with your credit cards and loyalty points.
Each Disney destination blends the brand’s magic with local culture. This is what makes each park unique, and the complete list far more surprising than it seems.
The largest Disney complex in the world: 4 theme parks, 2 water parks, over 30 on-site hotels, and an area larger than the city of San Francisco. For a Canadian family, it’s often the first Disney destination, and the easiest to finance with points.
The most iconic park at Disney World. Cinderella’s Castle and the evening fireworks make it a unique experience. Six zones converge on Main Street, U.S.A.: Tomorrowland, Fantasyland, Frontierland, Liberty Square, and Adventureland.
Often overlooked, EPCOT is nevertheless one of WDW’s richest parks. Four neighborhoods—World Showcase, World Celebration, World Nature, World Discovery—and festivals that return every year. Children have their place there with Kidcot Fun Stops and the Harmonious show.
Often cited as the favorite among WDW parks. Thousands of animals, a real safari, Pandora – The World of Avatar, and Expedition Everest. Six themed zones: Oasis, Discovery Island, Pandora, Africa, Asia, Dinoland U.S.A.
Transformed by the arrival of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge and Toy Story Land, this park has gained appeal for the whole family. Nine zones including Sunset Boulevard, Echo Lake, and Pixar Place.
Not a theme park, but a cluster of shops, restaurants, and entertainment divided into four districts: Town Center, The Landing, West Side, and Marketplace. Free access, no ticket required.
Prices vary by date and park. Per person (10+ years), per day, before taxes:
Walt Disney World is one of the destinations best covered by Canadian loyalty programs. Aeroplan points cover flights to Orlando (between 15,000 and 30,000 round-trip points from Montreal depending on the season). TD Travel Points work well for off-season ticket deals. For accommodation, Marriott Bonvoy has several hotels on the WDW site, including the Swan & Dolphin.
The American Express Cobalt Card remains the best card for accumulating points quickly: 5 points per dollar at grocery stores, transferable to Aeroplan at a 1:1 ratio. A family spending $800 on groceries per month can accumulate up to 60,000 Aeroplan points per year, or four round-trip tickets to Orlando. Aeroplan credit cards like the TD Aeroplan Visa Infinite Card also offer one free checked bag per person on the booking (up to 8 people), perfect for bringing back Disney souvenirs.
This is the original park, which Walt Disney himself inaugurated on July 17, 1955. Disneyland Resort is more compact than Walt Disney World, but also more accessible for Canadians making a stop on the West Coast. Two days are enough to enjoy both parks.
Between 104 USD and 224 USD per person per day depending on the date. Days at 104 USD can be found on weekdays during the off-season. Disneyland is well-served from Vancouver, Calgary, and Toronto.
The most accessible Disney destination from French-speaking Canada thanks to direct Montreal–Paris flights. In 2026, Disneyland Paris is undergoing its biggest transformation since its opening: the second park is changing its name and appearance.
Sleeping Beauty Castle remains, in my opinion, the most beautiful castle of all Disney parks. The attention to detail at Disneyland Paris is in a league of its own.
2-park tickets (Disneyland Park + Disney Adventure World) are sold by the day or as multi-day packages. For a family of 4, expect between 4,500 and 7,000 CAD for a complete stay (flights, hotel, tickets, meals). Disneyland Paris is located in Marne-la-Vallée, 32 km east of Paris, accessible by RER A (Marne-la-Vallée – Chessy station).
Many consider it the best Disney complex in the world in terms of execution quality and cleanliness. Tokyo Disney Resort is managed by Oriental Land Company (not directly by Disney). The Japanese attention to detail elevates every attraction, every show, every parade into a league of its own.
The Japanese version of the classic park, with exclusive attractions like Pooh’s Hunny Hunt and Monster Inc Ride & Go Seek. A new Space Mountain is under construction for 2027 (budget: approximately 500 M USD).
Unanimously hailed as the best Disney park in the world. No castle here; the volcano of Mysterious Island dominates the center of the park. Seven themed ports, including the world of Jules Verne (Journey to the Center of the Earth, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea), and since June 2024, an eighth port: Fantasy Springs.
The largest expansion of Tokyo Disney Resort since DisneySea opened in 2001. Built for approximately 2.2 billion USD, Fantasy Springs includes three themed zones:
Since April 1, 2025, access to Fantasy Springs attractions operates via standard queue or Disney Premier Access (paid).
Daily tickets cost between ¥7,900 and ¥10,900 (approximately 70–95 CAD) depending on the date. The resort is accessible from central Tokyo in 15 minutes via the Disney Rail Line monorail from Maihama Station.
The smallest Disney park in the world, but not the least charming. Ideal for a day or two during a broader trip to Asia. Short queues, relaxed atmosphere, and a cult attraction found nowhere else.
Tickets cost between 639 HKD and 779 HKD (approximately 110–135 CAD) per adult. The park is directly connected to Hong Kong International Airport by MTR in 35 minutes, convenient for a layover.
The newest Disney park (opened in 2016) is also one of the most modern. Shanghai Disneyland offers exclusive attractions found nowhere else, starting with Tron Lightcycle Power Run, one of the fastest roller coasters in any Disney park worldwide. No Main Street here: a Mickey Avenue replaces the classic entrance.
Tickets cost between ¥399 and ¥799 (approximately 75–150 CAD) depending on the season. The park is accessible from downtown Shanghai in about 40 minutes via Metro Line 11.
For those who want to combine the Disney universe with a cruise, Disney Cruise Line is a distinct option, and one of the highest-rated fleets in the world across all categories.
Coming soon: the Disney Believe (2027, Wish class) and 4 other ships by 2031. The total fleet will reach 13 ships by 2031.
Disney is magical, but there are other world-class theme parks worth visiting, especially if you are in Europe or Asia.
Germany’s largest theme park and one of Europe’s best. 95 hectares, 20 themed zones inspired by European countries, 13 roller coasters including Silver Star (73m) and Blue Fire Megacoaster. A 1-hour flight from Paris or Frankfurt. Ideal for extending a stay at Disneyland Paris.
A fairytale park often described as “European Disney.” Based on fairy tales and European folklore myths. Meticulous decor, unique atmosphere. 1 hour 30 minutes from Amsterdam.
Asia’s most popular park after Tokyo Disney Resort. Two exclusive global attractions: The Wizarding World of Harry Potter (the most complete in the world) and Super Nintendo World (Mario, Donkey Kong). Combine with Tokyo DisneySea for a memorable Japan itinerary.
Walt Disney World’s direct competitor, a 20-minute drive away. Since the opening of Epic Universe in 2025 (Harry Potter, How to Train Your Dragon, Universal Monsters zones), Universal Orlando has become a serious contender. A Universal + WDW multi-park pass is conceivable for a 10-day stay in Orlando.
No matter which park you’re aiming for, your loyalty points can cover a large part of the trip.

Aeroplan (Air Canada) is the most versatile program for reaching all Disney resorts. Between 15,000 and 30,000 points round trip for Orlando or Anaheim. Around 60,000 points for Paris in economy class. Partnerships with United, Lufthansa, ANA, JAL, and Swiss for Asia.
Amex Membership Rewards Points can be transferred to Aeroplan, British Airways Avios, or Air France-KLM Flying Blue — very useful for Paris and Hong Kong.
NBC Rewards Points can be used as travel points on any flight. Handy for deals to Europe. The National Bank World Elite Mastercard also offers travel credits and strong insurance coverage as a bonus.
TD Rewards are ideal for deals on cash fares, especially to Orlando in the off-season with the TD First Class Travel Visa Infinite Card.
Disney gift cards, purchased online or at grocery stores, allow you to pay for tickets, Disney hotels, and on-site meals. The American Express Cobalt Card offers 5 points per dollar on grocery purchases where gift cards are sold. Consult our complete guide on Disney gift cards.
The TDMD AeroplanMD Visa Infinite* Card offers one free checked bag per person on the booking (up to 8 people) — perfect for bringing back Disney souvenirs with no extra fees.
The Aeroplan program is priced by zones and distances. It’s possible to add a stop of a few days for only 5,000 additional points. To visit the three Asian parks in one trip:
This itinerary costs approximately 57,500 Aeroplan points (52,500 + 5,000 for the stop in Tokyo) — covering all three Asian parks in one trip.
Before you head out to explore Disney parks around the world, think about your Internet connection on the ground. eSIMs are digital SIM cards that install in just a few minutes directly on your compatible phone—no need to hunt for a physical SIM at the airport or pay high roaming fees.
One of the most popular providers is Holafly, known for its coverage in over 250 destinations. All its plans include unlimited data — handy for using Disney apps, checking wait times, and managing your reservations in real time. Holafly offers eSIMs by city, country, region, or worldwide, tailored to multi-destination itineraries.
The eSIM is purchased and installed before departure, then activated upon arrival. Compatible with most recent phones, tablets, and smartwatches. 24/7 customer support via chat, email, or WhatsApp.
12 theme parks. 6 destinations. 3 continents. The list of Disney parks around the world is longer than you might think, and each destination has something unique to offer. Tokyo DisneySea for the ultimate experience. Disneyland Paris for the beauty of its settings. Walt Disney World for how complete it is. And Shanghai or Hong Kong for the surprises.
With the right loyalty programs, a Disney trip becomes accessible for a Canadian family. The key: start accumulating early, choose the right credit card, and consult the best credit cards to maximize every dollar spent.
