Hi there, Hannah!
Thanks for stopping by planDisney as you prepare for your upcoming visit to Disneyland Paris. What a magical way to kick off 2026!
Nighttime spectaculars are consistently one of my favorite parts of a Disney vacation, regardless of the destination, but
Disney Tales of Magic is truly something special. A combination of fireworks, drones, and projections centered around Sleeping Beauty Castle, it's definitely something you won't want to miss, and
purchasing access to the Reserved Viewing Area is a great way to secure a prime viewing spot without dedicating an hour of your day to claim it!
Although you're unable to purchase Reserved Viewing at this time, I have some great news for you, Hannah. You haven't missed out! You'll just need to wait a bit for your booking window to open. At this time, Reserved Viewing is only available for purchase through the end of September, and I just spoke with a Cast Member who shared that there is no set timeline for when future bookings will open. Because of this, you'll want to periodically check the Disneyland Paris website or mobile app for updated availability. In my experience, dates typically become available for purchase one to two months in advance, so I would suggest making these checks a part of your routine in late November or early December.
It's also important to keep in mind that if you booked directly through Disneyland Paris, you'll be able to add this booking to your account as soon as it becomes available. If you booked through a third-party, you will need to wait until 7 days before your desired viewing date to make the purchase.
Now, if you find that Reserved Viewing has sold out by the time you are eligible to purchase,
Hakuna Matata! There are plenty of prime viewing spots available on Main Street. You'll just need to arrive 45 minutes to an hour early to secure yours. I suggest grabbing a snack (my favorites are Mickey-shaped) to enjoy as the time passes before the day's grand finale.
I hope this helps, Hannah, and that you're able to get everything
bibbidi bobbidi booked so very soon! If you'd like any additional advice as you finalize the details of your vacation,
don't hesitate to ask. You've got a friend in me!
Thinking Happy Thoughts,
Lizzie
