When Is The Best Time To Visit Disneyland Paris?

Disneyland Paris has rapidly become the most popular European theme park and has millions of visitors each year. The amount of people visiting does however fluctuate quite considerably and by using this knowledge is possible to work out the best times to visit Eurodisney.

If you don’t have children in your group then my advice would always be to visit at times when children are in school. Avoid school holiday times as these are always the busiest. Bear in mind that Disneyland Paris is also a popular place for school trips so June & July often sees an increase in school parties.

There are three ‘slow times’ at the park and if at all possible try to visit at these times they are
- Mid January to late March
- Mid April to mid July
- Mid September to the start of December (avoid Halloween!)

Obviously it is not always possible to visit at these times and there are occasions when you will want to visit at busy times due to special events i.e during the summer for the night time light parades and fireworks, or at Christmas for the special festivities and atmosphere.

By visiting at off peak times you will have more freedom to go on the attractions without having to queue for long periods of time. You will also find it easier to meet and great the characters (a great favourite with the very young we used to have lots of fun collecting autographs)

If you do visit at peak times take time to plan your trip so that you can get the most out of the park and hopefully avoid queuing too long at the popular rides (this is where the fast passes come into their own!). You will also have the advantage that in the high summer months the park is open longer so you will have more time to sample all the attractions.
