How does the new EES system changes my trip to Disneyland® Paris?
From 12 October 2025, the European Union will be introducing a new digital border system that will change the entry requirements for Non-EU nationals travelling to certain specified countries, including France. This is known as the Entry/Exit system (EES).
When EES is introduced, Non-European nationals, unless exempt, will need to create a digital record on their first visit to the Specified Countries at the point of departure/arrival (see below) and will be required to submit their fingerprints and have their photo or other biometric data required by the relevant authorities taken at dedicated kiosks.
EES may result in increased wait times at point of arrival and departure. Refusal to provide the required biometric data will result in denied entry into the country of travel.
For the most up-to-date information about what EES will mean for your journey, please check the following sites:
