What You Need To Know About The Disneyland Paris Annual Pass Party
The moment Disneyland Paris whispers the words Annual Pass Party many guests will clear our calendars faster than a Cast Member can say have a magical day. This year the excitement feels even bigger because the party lands right in the heart of the festive season. It almost feels like the perfect excuse to dust off our sparkliest Christmas jumper and enjoy the park in a way that feels wonderfully exclusive.
Party Date And Time
The next Annual Pass Party takes place on 5 December 2025. The event runs from 10pm until 2am which gives us four hours of pure after hours magic. There is something special about walking through the park at night while the lights shimmer and the music drifts through the air. It makes everything feel a little more intimate and a lot more enchanting.
Important Ticket Information For Passholders
Tickets go on sale on 14 October and only adult Disneyland Pass holders can purchase them. The price is 59 euros per person which feels fair considering the exclusivity and the packed programme of entertainment. Each passholder can buy up to two extra guest tickets so it is a great chance to bring friends or family who want to see the park in its festive glory.
It is important to know that child annual passes cannot be used to buy party tickets. They still give access to the parks during the day but the ticket purchasing privilege sits firmly with adult passholders. We always say it is better to plan this early so you do not face any last minute surprises.
Pricing And Guest Rules
Your party ticket gives you full access to the event including shows, character encounters and attractions that stay open throughout the night. Make sure your guests understand that they will need to enter with you and that the tickets are linked to your pass. It is a simple process but it always helps to be prepared so the evening starts smoothly.
With the practical details sorted we can now look at what the night will actually feel like because the entertainment line up this year is something truly special.

Tips To Make The Most Of Your Night
To fully enjoy the Annual Pass Party, a little planning goes a long way. From timing shows to meeting characters, these tips help us make the most of the magical night without feeling rushed.
- Plan Ahead
Check the show schedules and character encounter times as soon as we arrive. Knowing which performances we want to see first and where our favourite characters will appear helps us move efficiently around the park. - Dress Comfortably
It is late December, so temperatures can be chilly. Layers and comfortable shoes make walking between shows, attractions and character spots much easier. If we want to dance at the Royal Remix Ball, it helps to be ready for a fun, festive workout. - Use the Time Wisely
Some attractions have shorter lines during the party, so we can hop on our favourites between shows. We can also combine character meet and greets with rides nearby to save time. - Stay Hydrated and Snack Smart
Even though it is a party, we will be on our feet for hours. Carrying water and light snacks keeps energy levels high, especially if we plan to sing, dance or ride all night. - Capture the Magic
We can take plenty of photos and selfies, but it is just as important to pause and enjoy the moment. Sometimes the best memories are the ones we hold in our hearts. - Have Fun Together
Whether we are visiting with friends, family or fellow passholders, the party is about sharing the magic. Singing along at the Frozen Sing Along, dancing at the Royal Remix Ball, or cheering during the shows makes the night truly special. - Save The Programme
It is a good idea to save the official party programme to your phone. Having the schedule on hand makes it easy to check show times, character encounters and attraction openings without searching around the park.
By planning a little and going with the flow a little, we can make sure the Annual Pass Party is a night to remember.
