1. Disneyland Paris Low Season /High Season

The first point of this Disneyland Paris Crowd Calendar 2023 is about the Disneyland Paris low season and high season. The high season and low season in Disneyland Paris are the same as in the French capital. The Disneyland Paris low season is considered from 1st November to 31st March, except for the holiday season (from mid-November to the first days of January). Disneyland Paris at Christmas is always one of the busiest periods!
The low season is the best time to visit Disneyland Paris to avoid crowds, and the tickets to the park are also cheaper, but the weather may not be ideal.
Also, there may be fewer scheduled shows and events during these periods.
The high season in Disneyland Paris is considered from 1st April to 31st October. It means better weather and more hours of daylight but also more crowds and long lines for the rides.
2. Best Day to Visit Disneyland Paris 2023

The best days to visit Disneyland Paris – when the number of visitors is relatively low – are Tuesday or Thursday. Some schools in Paris have Wednesdays off, which may be a good opportunity for the local kids to visit Disneyland Paris with their grandparents.
Weekends definitely attract more locals and travelers from Europe in general. Also, Disneyland Parks have extended hours during the weekends, making Saturday and Sunday more attractive for everybody.
3. France and Disneyland Paris Holidays 2023

The Disneyland Paris calendar 2023 follows the holiday calendar in France. Knowing the holiday calendar in France in 2023 is key to avoiding the biggest Disneyland Paris crowds. Here’s the list of holidays in France in 2023 (the Disneyland Paris peak times):
- New Year’s Day: 1 January 2023
- Easter Monday: 10 April 2023

The Disneyland Paris crowd calendar 2023 also considers the school holidays in France.
During the school holidays, kids have two weeks off, and usually, the parents take one week off to be with them, and they like to plan family activities like a day at Disneyland Paris. Therefore, expect more local crowds during the school holidays in Paris.
School holidays in France are divided into geographical areas. Each area has different dates for the school holidays – except for the Christmas holidays and summer holidays which are the same dates for all the areas.
Paris belongs to the area ‘C’. These are the dates of the school holidays in Paris 2023-2024:
- Winter holidays: from 18 February 2023 to 6 March 2023
- Spring holidays: from 22 April 2023 to 9 May 2023
- Pont de l’Ascension: from 18 May 2023 to 20 May 2023

- All Saints holidays: from 21 October 2023 to 6 November 2023
- Christmas holidays: from 23 December 2023 to 8 January 2024
Avoid these French holidays and school time windows to find Disneyland Paris’ quiet times.
