What Are the Current Opening Hours for Disneyland Paris?

Disneyland Paris is open every single day—including weekends and holidays. Here’s exactly when you can enter and leave:

Do Opening Hours Change on Holidays and Special Season Dates?

Yes, on public holidays (like New Year’s Eve), plus during summer and major French school holidays, both parks often open longer, with Disneyland Park sometimes running until 10:30 pm or later.

On quieter winter weekdays, the parks may close as early as 7:30 pm to 8 pm, and not all shows are scheduled daily.

Is Disneyland Paris open on Christmas Day?

Yes! Even though December 25 is a French National Holiday, both parks welcome visitors every day of the year including Christmas with festive parades, themed shows, and magical decorations, but slots can fill up—booking ahead is a must.

Seasonal Variations & Why They Matter

• Summer (July–August): Longest hours, most entertainment, and peak crowds. Evening shows and late-night fireworks nearly every day.
• Spring/Autumn (April–May, September–October): Balanced weather, pleasant crowds, and moderate operating hours.
• Winter (November–March): Shorter hours (parks may close at 8 pm), lighter crowds, and lower entry prices.
• Major holidays and French school breaks mean extended hours but also much bigger crowds—arrive early for best results.

Seasonal Weather & What to Expect

Disneyland Paris is just outside Paris, France (Marne-la-Vallée).

• Spring/Autumn: Mild, 10–20°C (50–68°F), occasional showers.
• Summer: Warm, 20–28°C (68–82°F). Bring water, sunscreen.
• Winter: Chilly, 1–8°C (34–46°F). Bundle up—park looks magical in the winter mist!

What is Extra Magic Time and Who Gets It?

Extra Magic Time is a perk for anyone staying at an official Disneyland Paris hotel or holding an eligible annual pass.

It allows entry to the main rides and lands a full hour before normal opening, giving you a head start on shorter lines and quieter park moments.

When Is the Best Time to Visit for Lower Crowds & Maximum Fun?

Best time of day

• 8:30 to 10:30 am: Quietest for rides, best photos.
• After 5 pm: Crowds thin out, magical sunset light for castle photos.

Best days

• Tuesday–Thursday: Fewer locals, school groups, and tourists.

Best months

• April–May or September–October: Perfect weather, flowers or autumn colors, higher ride availability, and fewer crowds.

How to Use Opening Hours for a Smarter Visit

• Arrive 30 to 45 minutes before opening for fastest entry and lowest queues.
• Save restaurants and less-busy attractions for peak hours (midday to 3 pm) when rides are busiest.
• Book Premier Access to skip lines for must-ride attractions—especially during weekends or school holidays.
• Stay at a Disney Hotel for Extra Magic Time and the shortest queues.
• Schedule meals and character meets during off-peak hours (before noon or after 2 pm) for shorter waits.
• Re-check the official park calendar the night before your visit for last-minute changes due to events, weather, or maintenance.

“Planning early and arriving before the park opens gave us a huge head start on rides—definitely the best part of our Disney strategy!”
