Disneyland Paris - ?
If it's anything like Disney World in FL, not only will it be open, but it'll be packed to the rafters with people!Movielover wrote:Also, is hte park open Christmas Day? I'm going with a bunch of Jews and it's often hard to find things that are open Christmas Day.
Tootpadu, a fellow Disney alumni! Who knew!

Thank you, tootpadu!
Now when you saw the slow season... does that include right around Christmastime? I imagine the last week in December isn't so slow because people have off for the holiday, but I definitely see January and February as being the slow point.

Thanks.

I've been working at Disneyland Paris for a long time, so I think I might help you out with the information you might need.
As Penelope stated, most rides should be open during winter season, except a few that use the slow off season in January and Febuary for rehabs. There are hardly any rides that close for bad/cold weather, as the parc was designed to accomodate the mainly drab parisian climate. However, I remember last year the Riverboats being closed for a few days, 'cause the lake was frozen, so you never know.
You should be more concerned about rides being closed partly to cut costs of staff. They already start this summer with some rides closing early and another (Pinocchio) opening late (3 p.m.), to avoid hiring as many seasonal workers as in years past. However, with the economy being what it is, it's impossible to predict the impact this'll have on next winter season. There were winter seasons though, when like half of the park only opened in the afternoon.

Splash Mountain is open year-round at Disney World in Florida (barring a closure due to rehab), but the water parks are probably closed.
As for Disneyland Paris, I have no idea; here's a link to their contact page, they might be able to help you. If you're going during an "off" season, expect 2 or 3 attractions to be closed for rehabs.

Anyone ever been to Disneyland Paris during the Winter Holidays? If so, are certain rides/parts of the park closed? I would imagine some may close in Florida (I'm sure the water parks are closed, and maybe Splash Mountain?)
Any info is helpful...
I'm trying to plan a trip to France and accomodate a lot of people and Disneyland Paris is a big deal for some people. But does it even make sense in the winter?
