When is everyone going to Disneyland Paris 2026

[zavandor]

We’re planning a mid-July 2026 trip, and now that the March 29 opening date is confirmed I’m expecting the first couple of months to be absolutely packed. I’m really curious to see what kind of access system Disney rolls out—virtual queue, paid Premier Access, or something for on-site guests—because the early reports about hotels selling out are already wild. Hoping things settle a bit by summer so we can actually enjoy the new land without spending half the day in a standby line just to get in.

I think it will be packed the first 2-3 weeks, with people eager to be the first to experience the new areas.
Weekends will be packed year around, because a lot of DLP have an AP and visit from Paris and Ile de France, so if their AP is not blocked they'll want to visit, probably multiple times.
But weekdays I think will be quiet until the summer school holidays roll around. People who book packages will be afraid to book early and wait a little bit, thinking of outsmarting the crowds and they'll mostly choose to visit during the summer.This happened with Galaxy Edge in the US parks and Fantasy Spring in Tokyo. People will read advice that the first months will be packed and visit later (when it's also more convenient because they're school holidays). I also think 2026 Christmas period will be mad.
