Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best time of year to visit Disneyland Paris?

Being open throughout the year means you can visit any time, but there are times its even more special such as Halloween or Christmas when the parks are decorated and themed accordingly.

If you want to visit when the Parks are less crowded and waiting times for rides are shorter, a mid-week stay such as Tuesdays to Thursdays in the quieter months of September or mid-January to early May may suit you best, although the weather is of course colder.

The summer months are a popular time to visit and opening hours are longer with the evenings being light later, there are often more scheduled shows and events too.

How long do you recommend staying for?

There is a lot to take in at both of the Disney Parks so we recommend at least two days at Disneyland Paris to see everything, therefore a two or three night stay is advised to get the most out of your Disneyland Paris break.
