Attractions, shows, immersive worlds, and meetings with Disney characters shape your Disneyland Paris visit in 2026. Here are the best activities to suit your interests and the time you have.

In Marne-la-Vallée, in Seine-et-Marne, Disneyland Paris brings together two Disney Parks, Disney Village — a hub of restaurants and shops — and several Disney Hotels for a family, couple, or friends’ outing or getaway in 2026. Iconic attractions, new releases, shows, parades, and seasonal experiences offer days that feel vastly different. The key is to pick activities that truly suit your group, then keep a bit of flexibility for wait times and last‑minute changes to the plan.

What to do at Disneyland Paris right now

The best things to do at Disneyland Paris right now hinge on recent openings, scheduled shows, the season, and temporary events.

Top activities to enjoy with the whole family

The two Disney Parks offer rides with no height restrictions, along with shows, walks, and meet-and-greets with Disney characters. Families with young children can mix up their day instead of rushing from one attraction to the next: a quiet morning stroll, a show after lunch, and a late-afternoon parade often create a more comfortable rhythm.

Age is only a rough guide. Darkness, noise, pace, and the presence of striking figures also influence the choice. A child drawn to pirates may not react the same as another in the same age group; it’s wiser to review each experience's content and have a nearby alternative in mind.

Where to find adrenaline-pumping attractions?

Roller coasters, rapid launches, drops and spins are spread across both Disney Parks. Thrill-seekers can base a large part of their visit around these attractions, provided they check the height requirements and any health warnings before getting in line.

In a group with shared interests, the most intense experiences can be paired with a gentler attraction or a show located in the same area. This setup avoids long, unnecessary treks and lets everyone enjoy the visit without following a route dictated by the boldest.

What shows and parades to catch at Disneyland Paris?

Musicals, indoor shows, stunt displays, cavalcades, parades, and nighttime productions play a major role in the two Disney Parks. These events offer a fresh take on Disney stories and provide welcome breaks during a day that can feel long.

Indoor blockbuster productions are a smart fit for visitors who want to focus on the stage and the music, while the parades require a bit more planning to snag a good viewing spot. Sound and light effects can be intensified for certain performances. Disneyland Paris also offers a different nighttime show in each Disney Park, performed at the same time: two days give guests the chance to see both without having to choose.

How to meet the Disney characters?

Disney Character Encounters take several forms: classic queues, virtual queues, appearances in the lands and realms, or meals hosted with the characters. The Disney Characters on offer vary by park, season, and the day’s schedule; it’s best to focus on one or two priorities when rides and attractions remain the main draw.

The Disneyland Paris app displays the timetables and the available options. Some meet-and-greets require joining a virtual queue, within the limit of available slots. Families who prize photo opportunities can tailor their itinerary around the time slot they secure, while others will keep these encounters as a potential option to pick up along the way.

The seasons and upcoming temporary events to watch

The Disneyland Paris program evolves throughout the year, with seasonal decor, parades, shows, menus and Disney character meet-and-greets tied to the seasons. One-off events, special evenings or limited‑time activities can also alter the appeal of a given visiting window. Visitors who prize the décor and exclusive programs will find the latest news to be the top priority.

What to do at Disneyland Paris when it rains?

Humid weather doesn’t ruin the day, provided you adjust the order of activities. Many attractions take place entirely or mostly indoors, while indoor shows let you stay dry for part of the visit. Covered passages, shops and restaurants round out these options between experiences.

Outdoor shows and some activities may still be altered, delayed, or canceled when weather conditions require it. A dedicated rainy-day route helps limit time spent outdoors, but wait times are likely to rise quickly for the park’s most popular covered attractions.

Dining experiences with Disney characters

The dining experience can become a full-fledged activity when the décor, the service, or the presence of Personnages Disney extends the world of the Parcs Disney. Restaurants with table service, buffets, meals with Disney Characters and themed venues offer longer breaks to be woven into the itinerary rather than tacked on at the last minute.

These experiences are ideal for visitors who want to slow down or mark a special moment. Fast service or ordering via Click & Collect is usually a better fit when the priority is the attractions. For the most sought-after restaurants, booking in advance helps you avoid planning an entire day around an uncertain time slot.

What to do at Disney Village without a ticket to the Disney Parks?

Located between the Disney Parks and Disney Hotels, Disney Village is accessible without an admission ticket. With restaurants, shops, a cinema, entertainment and activities, it’s the place to extend your visit, occupy your first evening, or plan something before you depart.

Disney Village will mainly appeal to visitors with a few extra hours or those looking to recapture the Disneyland Paris vibe without dedicating another day to the Disney Parks. Paid activities, opening times and access may vary, especially during the site's various renovation phases.

How many days should you set aside to enjoy the activities?

A single day lets you sample a curated set of must-see experiences in a Disney Park, or split your time between the two with a ticket that suits. Tackling both Disney Parks in one day demands a brisk pace and smart choices among rides and shows, but it’s a chance to catch even more magic by exploring both worlds.

Two days offer a more balanced pace for exploring the two Disney Parks and catching both of their nighttime shows. Three days or more make it easier to take breaks, enjoy themed meals, and relive a favored experience. A stay at a Disney Hotel also grants access to Extra Magic Hours and to Disney Character Meet-and-Greets in the hotels, except at the Disney Davy Crockett Ranch. Booking early helps secure a better selection of dates and prices; updated rates can be found on DisneylandParis.com.

A few tips for planning the day’s activities

  • Arriving 30 to 45 minutes before opening helps with security checks and getting to your first ride.
  • The Disneyland Paris app centralizes wait times, schedules, closures, virtual queues, and restaurant bookings.
  • Single Rider can cut wait times on certain attractions at no extra cost if group members are willing to ride separately.
  • Disney Premier Access offers paid fast-track access to select attractions, subject to availability.
  • Undated tickets and some passes require a date reservation before your visit.
  • Schedules and programs should be verified on the day itself, especially for shows, parades, and Disney character meet-and-greets.

FAQ about Things to Do at Disneyland Paris

What are the best activities to enjoy at Disneyland Paris right now?

Fresh openings, iconic rides, dazzling shows, Disney Character Meet-and-Greets, and temporary events together define the main options. The ideal plan depends on which Disney Park you’re visiting, the ages of the participants, how much thrill you want, and how much time you have.

Which Disney Park should you pick for a first visit?

Disneyland Park centers on the Castle, the five lands, and classic attractions. Disney Adventure World brings together worlds inspired by Frozen, Pixar, and MARVEL, plus several newer experiences. Both Parks offer activities for all ages; the choice mainly hinges on the themes you’re most drawn to.

Can you visit both Disney Parks in one day?

Yes, with a two-park ticket. To plan your day, pick the must-see experiences in each Park according to your interests and showtimes. This approach moves at a brisk pace and requires decisions; a two-day visit offers more flexibility.

What activities are best for young children?

Rides with no height restrictions, shows, parades, and Disney Character Meet-and-Greets are excellent anchors. Darkness, noise, and motion matter almost as much as the posted height requirement—checking each experience’s details helps avoid something too intense.

Are shows included with the admission?

Shows and parades are included with a valid Park admission, subject to seating availability. Premium access or reserved spots may be offered for certain performances as an optional add-on.

Should you book activities in advance?

Most attractions operate with the standard queue on the day. Some restaurants, character meals, shows, or Disney Character Meet-and-Greets may require a reservation, guaranteed access, or a virtual queue. Details are available in the Disneyland Paris Mobile App.

Can you enjoy Disneyland Paris without a ticket to the Disney Parks?

Disney Village is accessible without a Park ticket and features restaurants, shops, a cinema, and entertainment. A select number of Disney Hotel restaurants and bars may also welcome non-guests, depending on access rules, hours, and availability.

Where can you check available activities on your visit day?

The Disneyland Paris Mobile App and the official calendar show hours, wait times, closures, and scheduled shows. It’s worth checking again in the morning, as weather, maintenance, or operational conditions can change activity availability.
