Disneyland Paris 2024/2025 attendance calendar
Here are the calendars showing the days with the highest and lowest visitor numbers in the Eurodisney group parks and tips on how to avoid queuing too much. If you want to take it easy and your own schedule allows you to do so, I’d advise you to visit Disneyland on the days when it’s least busy. If not, Disney Premier Access (Fastpass) can easily save you several hours in queues and allows you to do so much more attractions!
Month-by-month calendar of expected attendance at Disneyland Paris
When is the best time to visit Disneyland Paris?
The number of visitors to Disneyland Paris is an important factor for all visitors to consider. The experience will not be the same on a less busy day as on a busy day. The flow of visitors has a significant impact on the length of queues and waiting times at attractions. It’s always a good idea to find out how many people are expected to visit Disneyland Paris, even if you haven’t yet decided when you’re going to visit. Here’s a provisional calendar for 2024. This will give you an idea of how busy Disneyland Paris might be over the coming months. Unless you have Disney Premier Access, you are strongly advised not to visit during periods of high visitor flow, as queues will be long.
Tip: April/May, August, October and December are the busiest months. It is advisable to visit in January, february, March, June and September to take advantage of the lower numbers of visitors, lower prices and generally ideal weather at these times.
How to avoid queuing at Disney?
The best way to save time on your day’s visit is not to lose any in the queues. Either you’ve been able to take advantage of a day with few people in the parks (see the attendance calendars) or you can get Disney Premier Access (the famous Fastpass) to avoid queuing altogether. You can buy them directly from the mobile application during the day, or in advance on the Disneyland Paris website.
What are the peak and off-peak periods?
Bank holidays and school holidays are not recommended, as Disneyland Paris can be very busy during these periods. Plan your visit accordingly to avoid long queues and maximise your experience in Mickey’s world!
At the end of winter, several European countries are on holiday at the same time. The park’s walkways can be very busy, especially at weekends in March. In the spring, Disneyland Paris is the place to be, as the arrival of fine weather means family activities, outings with friends and so on. The many public holidays (Ascension Day, 1 May, etc.) and the Easter holidays are generally very popular with visitors.
Some days (mainly in May) are packed with people. On the other hand, there are few crowds in June, and access to the park is less hazardous. Plan a day out with friends to enjoy Disneyland’s attractions. Because of the summer holidays, the busiest months are July and August. If you plan to visit Disneyland Paris during these busy periods, book your tickets on ParisMagicAdventures.com to avoid long queues. Disneyland Paris opening times are regularly updated to save you time.
In September, the back-to-school period means fewer visitors to the park. However, weekends are still very popular, as the weather is still pleasant. In autumn, two events attract huge crowds. These are Halloween and Christmas. The beginning of November is a little quieter, and promises a more serene visit. However, the number of visitors rises sharply in December until the Christmas holidays.

- 3 for medium attendance, an average waiting time of less than 30 minutes
- 4 for high attendance, queues last up to an hour on average
- 5 for very heavy traffic, waiting times are high, and it is very common to spend more than an hour in the queue

More magical moments
If you’d like to spend more time in the parks, it’s possible. All visitors can access Disneyland Park and Walt Disney Studio before official opening hours. This is known as Extra Magic Moments. How do you get in? It’s very simple, if you stay in one of the park hotels or if you have an Annual Pass, you can benefit from this advantage.
The opening hours of the Disney parks are then extended. And not just a little. The park gates will open between 08:30 and 09:30 for visitors with a pass or coming from a Disney hotel. This is what Disney calls Extra Magic Moments.
