Day AFTER Bastille Day - worth it?

[cnhartman]

I will be in Paris around Bastille Day this year and have the opportunity to visit DLP on the 15th. Just wondering how busy the parks are around Bastille Day - I've read a bit that the holiday itself gets quite busy but haven't seen much specific about the days immediately before and after. Has anyone been in the past couple years? It's my first time in Paris and while I've wanted to visit DLP since I was a kid, I would hate to waste a precious day (and spend the money) if it's going to be absolutely packed with insane wait times. Thank you!

I haven't been that close to Bastille Day (nearest was 18th-21st July in 2010) but it's generally busy throughout July and August as it's French school holidays. We usually visit during high season and always find it manageable though!

Bastille Day last year was not very busy at all - Dreams was of course crowded at the end of the night when everybody congregated in the hub, but overall its do-able. I'm guessing to day after will be ok too up until Dreams. Just have a plan and ho for it

We were there last year before, during and after Bastille Day, I wouldnt say it was any busier in the park than any other weekend. We went into Paris on the Saturday and did a lot of queuing without achieving anything, it was extremely busy at the tourist attractions.
I'd be happy to visit dlp at that time of year again.
