När ska jag komma dit
Disneyland® Paris är öppet året runt och de flesta attraktioner, shower och parader går även under lågsäsong. De mest trafikerade och trångaste tiderna är sommar- och julhelgen, då köerna är långa men öppettiderna förlängs. De som har en budget kan hitta erbjudanden genom att besöka under lågsäsong (november till mars) eller i mitten av veckan snarare än på helgerna, men tänk på att det blir färre shower. För en extra dos Disney-magi, besök under speciella evenemang som Halloween, Bonfire Night (början av november), nyårsafton eller jul.
