Disneyland Paris in February 2027: French school holidays, crowds and tips
12 November 2026
French winter school holidays in 2027 run from 6 February to 8 March depending on the zone, and French-speaking Belgium has its spring break from 22 February to 5 March. Disneyland Paris gets most of its visitors from France and Belgium, so these weeks are among the busiest of the winter. If you are travelling from the UK, Ireland or further away, knowing these dates helps you pick quieter days.
| Zone | Main regions | Holidays start | School resumes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Zone C | Paris and Île-de-France, Montpellier, Toulouse | Saturday 6 February 2027 | Monday 22 February 2027 |
| Zone A | Lyon, Bordeaux, Grenoble, Dijon, Clermont-Ferrand | Saturday 13 February 2027 | Monday 1 March 2027 |
| Zone B | Lille, Marseille, Nantes, Nice, Rennes, Strasbourg, Normandy | Saturday 20 February 2027 | Monday 8 March 2027 |
| Belgium (French-speaking) | Wallonia and French-speaking Brussels | Monday 22 February 2027 | Monday 8 March 2027 |
Zone C includes Paris and its suburbs, the region closest to the parks, so its holiday weeks bring many day visitors.
The week from 22 February to 1 March combines zones A and B with French-speaking Belgium: it is the busiest period of the winter. From 13 to 21 February, zones A and C are both on holiday, and on the weekend of 20 and 21 February all three French zones are off at the same time.
The quietest dates are the first week of February, before the holidays begin, and the week from 1 to 5 March, when only zone B and Belgian pupils are still off. If you can, visit midweek: Saturdays and Sundays are always the busiest days.
Arrive at opening time and start with the most popular rides, such as Frozen Ever After at Disney Adventure World, Peter Pan’s Flight or Big Thunder Mountain at Disneyland Park. Keep shows and shops for the afternoon, when queues get longer.
Several attractions will be closed in February 2027, including Crush’s Coaster until the summer and, according to the first published calendars, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Peril from 4 January. Check the latest list in our closed attractions calendar before you travel.
Dated tickets cost more on French school holiday days, and the cheaper Bon Plan tickets are rarely available on these dates. Compare prices day by day on our Disneyland Paris tickets page, or book e-tickets below.
The show Mickey and the Magician ends after 10 January 2027 while its theatre is refurbished. The first refurbished rooms at Disney Sequoia Lodge are due to welcome guests from 19 February 2027. At Disney Village, Annette’s Diner is expected to reopen in the first quarter of 2027.
