At the end of October, we wrote that Disneyland Paris would be closing again after having reopened in July. However, the resort intended to reopen briefly for the holiday season and then close again for the slow January/February off-season.

Disneyland Paris will remain closed

While French President Emmanuel Macron has just announced some easing of the restrictions still in place, the country does intend to continue preventing large gatherings during the holiday season ahead. So, while some shops may be allowed to reopen with restrictions, large entertainment venues like Disneyland Paris will need to remain closed. 

Disneyland Paris had been taking reservations for the holiday season. Guests will be contacted about rebooking for a later date or refunds.  

At this time, it looks like the earliest that Disneyland Paris might reopen would be February 13th, 2021.

The park had recently been celebrating the Halloween season with very low crowd levels on week days.

The park had initially shut down in March around the same time that Disneyland in California and Walt Disney World in Florida also shut their gates. The park reopened on July 15th and has been operating with strict safety precautions ever since.
