Is Disneyland Paris crowded in July?
There is not way to sugar coat it, July is one of the busiest months at Disneyland Paris so you can expect the parks to be crowded. If you want to travel to Disneyland Paris in the summer but don’t want the crowds then you should look at visiting in June or September as July and August are the busiest summer months.
The reason for the parks being busy in July are down to the French school holidays usually starting around the second week of July. The rest of Europe also starts at a similar time which is much earlier than English school holidays.
Also there are some public holidays in France such as Bastille Day on 14th July which is one of the busiest holidays in France.
Note: it may come as no surprise that it is almost always quieter at Disneyland Paris on a weekday as opposed to the weekend (outside of holidays when all bets are off). Be sure to check out this guide of best day to visit Disneyland Paris for more comprehensive information.
