Disneyland Paris Crowd Calendar 2025/2026

Daily 2025/2026 Crowd Calendar

Having visited almost every Disney park in the world, with the exception of Hong Kong Disneyland, I would strongly recommend checking the visitor forecasts before booking your stay.

How to read the calendar?

• Low attendance (green) : These days offer the shortest queue times and lowest ticket and holiday prices of the year.
• Average attendance (yellow) : Average attendance (yellow): There are relatively few people in the parks, and the waiting times for attractions are reasonable.
• High attendance (red) : these are the busiest days. Typically, these are Saturdays and weekdays during school holidays.
• Peak (purple) : certain days of the year see record numbers of visitors. These days are often associated with special events: Bastille Day on 14 July, Halloween on 31 October and New Year’s Day. These are days to avoid unless you really want to experience these special moments!
• Events (castle icon) : Special events, evening events, and re-openings of major attractions are indicated.

Forecasting methodology:

The published estimates are based on Disneyland Paris’s dynamic ticket pricing system. These prices reflect real-time demand, providing up-to-date attendance forecasts.

As such, these estimates are subject to change over time. This is why I update them once a month. However, I recommend comparing them with Disneyland Paris’s official estimate calendar (see below).

Estimated monthly attendance for 2026

☃️Winter : January to March

As I wrote in my article ‘When to Go to Disneyland Paris’, January is one of the best months to visit. Historically, it is the month with the fewest visitors. However, it is also the coldest month in the Paris region.

In 2026, there is no cause for this to be any different. However, according to current estimates, the days following New Year’s Day will be very crowded until Monday 5 January 2026.

February is naturally busier due to the winter school holidays in France, which run from 7 February to 2 March 2026. The week from 16 to 22 February is expected to be the busiest, mainly due to the half-term school holidays in the United Kingdom during that same week.

Finally, as in 2025, March will be one of the most interesting months of the year, with low crowds and prices and mild weather.

🌱 Spring : April to June

The question on everyone’s lips as the spring season at Disneyland Paris approaches is the opening date of World of Frozen, the new Frozen-themed area at Disney Adventure World (formerly Walt Disney Studios).

Although it was announced for spring, it is likely to open during the school holidays, which begin on 4 April 2026. Disneyland Paris has not announced any special events, such as the Disney Music Festival.

In any case, April should normally see many days with full parks!

In May, the crowds will naturally be concentrated around the public holidays on 1, 8, 14 and 25 May. This is a great time to visit Euro Disney, but you’ll need to book your stay well in advance!

If you want to enjoy the sunny weather without spending hours in queues, June is the ideal month!

🌞 Summer : July to September

While visitor numbers at Disneyland Paris were much lower than expected in summer 2024 due to the Olympic Games, summer 2026 will see a return to the park’s usual ‘high season’ pace.

In July, the first fortnight is still manageable during the week (before the 14th), but things start to get busier after that. The long evenings and extended opening hours partly compensate for the crowds. Try to arrive in time for opening and stay until closing to experience all the major attractions.

August is the traditional peak season. Weekends are very busy, so opt for Mondays and Tuesdays, and consider using the Single Rider and Disney Premier Access options for your must-see attractions to make the most of your day.

September: Things calm down after the start of the school year. It’s one of the best months of the year, with quieter parks during the week, mild weather and ongoing shows. However, be aware that there may be some renovations and shorter opening hours at the end of the month.

🎃Autumn: October, November

With the Halloween season upon us, autumn alternates between quiet days and impressive peaks.

In October, Halloween decorations appear in the parks. The second half of the month, especially All Saints’ Week, is very busy, with 31 October often fully booked. Early October on weekdays is a very good time to visit.

The beginning of November remains busy (All Saints’ Day holidays and the long weekend on the 11^(th)). Then, there is a quick shift to the Christmas season (mid-November in general), with busy weekends but comfortable weekdays for enjoying the end-of-year shows without the December crowds.

It’s the most magical month and one of the most popular.

The first two weeks of December offer a golden opportunity to experience Christmas at Disneyland Paris with reasonable crowds on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays.

From mid-December to New Year, the crowds remain high, with peaks on weekends and during Christmas week. 31 December and 1 January are very busy. Plan ahead by booking restaurants and shows and choosing parade times. Arrive at least 45–60 minutes before the big shows.

History of annual attendance at Disneyland Paris

Until 2016, Euro Disney S.C.A. published annual attendance figures in its financial results reports.

Now, the Walt Disney Company only publishes attendance figures for all of its theme parks, including Disneyland Paris, in its official financial reports. The company most often reports overall trends or aggregate performance for its ‘Parks, Experiences and Products’ segment.

However, here are the annual attendance estimates from the Themed Entertainment Association (TEA)’s ‘Global Attractions Attendance Report’:
