Hello, first time posting.

I will be on paris/disneyland from 4th to 8th of may. How are usually these days? i have been there younger always in august and its always super crowded, i expect nothing near that, or am i wrong?
weekdays should be way more "passive" than weekends right?

We have just returned from DLP - 30 Jan to 3 Feb - and it was heaving which is completely against previous years attendance.

Same experience with us. We were there 18th to 25th Feb and it felt busier than the summer.

Hi,

I have booked for 18th to 22nd of may, will it be busy then? I plan on going to the studios park on the saturday as I'm guessing the main park would be busier that day?

Yes i'm the same - i'm going 8th-12th may

i've been 3 times in may before but usually mid or end of may and it's never too bad!

Hi
Trying to decide between October half term week (23rd to 27th) or the week after Christmas (1st to 5th Dec) any thoughts on which will be quieter? We went Feb half term this year and it was fairly quiet however Davy Crockett are closing their pool and restaurant from Jan to July so wanted to go before this happens.

October half term runs into Halloween which is their busiest week of the year so I suspect your other dates will be quieter.

It will be busy but since you're going during the week and not at the weekend it won't be quite as heaving as it could be.

Hi everyone,

What is inbetween Christmas and New Year Eve like? I've been in June, March and October before.

In comparison to Halloween is Christmas as busy??

Many thanks <3

The week between Christmas and NYE is the most busy week of the year. Be prepared for high wait times all around both parks.
Unless it's minus 10 degrees celcius ofcourse, that keeps some people away :)

I went this March from 16-19th (thursday to sunday), and was very surprised to find so many people. Friday was St. Patricks Day, but other than that a normal weekend. Typical waitingtime for rides was +30 mins unless you went while the parade was on or something.
Some rides were more than 90 mins waiting, and We simply had to skip those.

Is this typical/normal? I tried researching before We went, and it said March was a good month with little to no queues. My only personal experience was from maybe 9 years ago, where I went on a very vold december Day where there was almost no queues.

It'll always be busier at the weekends during any time of year as obviously that's when the locals can come along for day trips. 30mins waiting time for most rides is decent imo. 90 mins for things like Big Thunder is pretty normal. I use things like ToT as a bench mark - 25 mins max on quieter days, up to 45mins on reasonable days, 60mins+ and the place is clearly very busy.
