When Can You Book Disneyland Paris 2026 Dates?
Wondering when 2026 Disneyland Paris dates will be released? You’re definitely not alone. Planning a trip that far ahead can feel a bit like waiting for the reopening date of Big Thunder Mountain (which we know is the 21st June – we’re always giving you the best and latest information!)
Right now, you can book hotel and ticket packages up to 31 March 2026. For the rest of the year — that is, from April through to the end of 2026 and even early 2027 — we expect those dates to be released between August and September 2025. It’s a pretty standard pattern for Disneyland Paris, who tend to drop availability in stages to manage pricing and offers.

What Disneyland Paris 2026 Dates Can You Book Now?
If you’re raring to get your 2026 Disneyland Paris trip in the diary, good news — you can already book dates up to 31 March 2026. That includes hotel and ticket packages across all Disneyland Paris hotels, from the fairy-tale luxury of the freshly reopened Disneyland Hotel to the wild-west charm of Hotel Cheyenne.
This early release covers some key dates families will want to snap up fast:
- February half term 2026
- Valentines Getaway
- Long weekends and early spring breaks
Why book now instead of waiting for more dates to drop? Simple: the earlier you book, the cheaper it tends to be. Disneyland Paris uses a flexible pricing model based on demand — meaning prices usually go up the closer you get to your travel dates. Booking early isn’t just for the ultra-organised; it’s also a savvy way to save money.
And here’s a bonus tip from us as regular park-goers: if a better deal comes up later, you’re not locked in. Thanks to Disney’s Zen Guarantee, you can modify your booking without fees up to seven days before your trip — super handy if new offers pop up through the year (and they often do).
When Will the Rest of the 2026 Dates Be Released at Disneyland Paris?
If you’re eyeing a summer, Halloween, or Christmas trip to Disneyland Paris in 2026, you might be wondering when those dates will finally be available to book. We get it — waiting for release dates can feel like watching the castle countdown on New Year’s Eve.
So, when will Disneyland Paris release the rest of its 2026 dates?
Based on previous years (and our inside knowledge), the next batch of booking dates — from April 2026 through to March 2027 — is expected to drop late August or September 2025. That’s usually the window when Disneyland Paris opens up the following year’s availability.
Disneyland release dates are in yearly phases, not over multiple years. Why? Because their pricing model is based on availability. The earlier they open dates, the more flexibility they have to offer special deals, seasonal promotions, and tiered pricing based on demand. It’s all very clever… and slightly infuriating if you’re desperate to plan ahead.
We know the wait can be frustrating, especially if you’re trying to coordinate travel during peak times. Here are just a few dates where booking early is key:
- School Summer holidays
- Halloween season (typically mid-September through 31 October)
- Christmas season (usually kicks off in early November and runs through early January)
- Bastille Day (14 July — it’s a busy one!)
- New Year’s Eve
- All UK and European school holidays
Once those 2026 dates are released, cheap deals at popular hotels like the Disneyland Hotel tend to get snapped up quickly, especially around these high-demand periods. And don’t forget: the new Davy Crockett lodges will be open by then, and Sequoia Lodge’s refurbishment will have started, so options (and availability) could shift.
We’ll keep this page updated with all the key release milestones. Or better yet — sign up to our free newsletter and we’ll send the date drop straight to your inbox. No need to stalk the Disney site or refresh pages like you’re trying to book a Taylor Swift ticket. We’ve got you.
Why Booking Early Is the Smart Move (Especially for 2026 Trips)
When it comes to Disneyland Paris, booking early isn’t just about feeling organised — it’s about saving money, securing your preferred hotel, and giving yourself the flexibility to tweak things later if needed. And trust us, as annual pass holders who visit the parks every month, we’ve seen how prices (and availability) can shift quicker than you can say “Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo”.
So, why is early booking such a win?
1. You’ll pay less.
Disneyland Paris uses a dynamic pricing system, which basically means: the earlier you book, the cheaper it is. Rooms and packages go up in price as demand increases, so locking in your trip as soon as dates are released often gives you the best rate. Wait too long, and you might be paying more for the same magic.
2. You can spread the cost.
Booking directly through Disneyland Paris means you only need to put down a low deposit, and you can then pay in instalments. That’s great news for families and budget-conscious travellers who want to secure their trip without splashing out all at once.
3. You can change your booking later.
Thanks to Disney’s Zen Guarantee, you can change or modify your booking without any fees up to 7 days before arrival. We’ve used this ourselves — once we saw a better deal pop up, we gave them a quick call with our booking reference and they simply applied the discount. It’s a game-changer. That said, one time an offer came a bit too close to our trip (and our flights were already locked in), so we couldn’t make the switch. Moral of the story? Keep checking, but act fast when you see a great offer.
4. You’ll get the widest choice of rooms and hotels.
If you’re eyeing something special — like the newly reimagined Disneyland Hotel — early booking is essential. Popular spots fill up quickly around peak times like Halloween, Christmas, Bastille Day, and school holidays. We’ve also seen loads of offers recently for Hotel Cheyenne, so it’s one to watch if you’re planning ahead. Plus, for 2026 trips, you’ll have brand new Davy Crockett Ranch lodges to choose from and the Sequoia Lodge refurbishment to consider when picking your stay.
In short? Booking early means better prices, better choices, and less stress later on. And with the flexibility to adjust your trip if something better comes along, it’s a no-brainer for anyone planning a magical 2026 Disneyland Paris adventure.

FAQs: Your 2026 Disneyland Paris Booking Questions Answered
We know planning a Disneyland Paris trip comes with a lot of questions — especially when you’re trying to get ahead of the crowds for 2026. Here’s a quick-fire round of the most common ones we hear (and yes, we’ve asked most of these ourselves over the years):
Can I book hotel-only stays if I have an Annual Pass?
Yes! Once the 2026 dates are fully released, Annual Pass holders will be able to book room-only stays at Disney hotels. It’s a great way to stay close to the magic while using your pass for park entry.
Are all hotels and packages released at the same time?
Generally, yes — when new dates go live, they include all official Disney hotels and ticket package options. But offers can change throughout the year, so it’s worth checking back regularly (or better yet, sign up to our newsletter and let us do it for you).
What if I book now and a better offer appears later?
That’s where Disneyland Paris’ Zen Guarantee shines. You can change or modify your booking for free up to 7 days before arrival. We’ve done this ourselves — called the team, gave our booking reference, and had the better deal applied. Easy peasy. Just keep an eye on flight dates if you’ve already booked them!
When should I book to get the best price?
As soon as possible. Disneyland Paris uses availability-based pricing, so the earlier you book, the better the deal. Prices tend to go up closer to travel dates, especially around peak seasons.
What dates should I be quick to book once they’re released?
Any peak periods:
- Summer holidays
- Halloween season (mid-Sept to 31 Oct)
- Christmas and New Year
- Bastille Day (14 July)
- School holidays across the UK and Europe
These book up fast, especially for the most popular hotels — so get in early if you’ve got your heart set on something specific.
Will there be offers or discounts on 2026 trips?
We expect plenty of hotel and package offers to appear throughout the year — especially in shoulder seasons or quieter weeks. Sign up to our newsletter and we’ll let you know the moment those deals drop.
