Bonjour!
Welcome to planDisney, Sarah. Thank you for visiting us with your question today about
Disneyland Paris. It is great to help fellow Guests as they plan their upcoming trips, and it is extra special when they are a fellow East Anglian!
I have visited all of the Disney Parks in the world, and have enjoyed every version of the
Wildest Ride in the Wilderness, featured at four of them, and there really is no comparison to the Paris version! There is something pretty magical about hurtling through those tunnels to get to the mountain which is an island in the middle of the Rivers of the Far West!
Big Thunder Mountain is currently undergoing a refurbishment and there is no fixed opening date at the time of writing. We still expect it to reopen in early summer this year. I am heading to Disneyland Paris at the end of May, and I continue to keep my fingers crossed for a very early summer reopening. The best thing to do is to keep an eye on the
Disney Parks Blog for all the latest news and updates, that is what I will be doing!
There is still lots to enjoy at Disneyland Paris during Big Thunder Mountains closure. Starting 19th April, the
Disney Music Festival will be taking over
Disneyland Park all summer! This event looks really exciting, and a true celebration of the music of Disney. My son is really looking forward to watching Moana and her musicians, and I cannot wait to experience Goofy's Imaginary Orchestra!
Sarah, I am sorry I couldn't give you a definitive answer this time. But, I hope whenever you choose to visit Disneyland Paris you have the BEST time! If you have any further questions, please
reach out to me. I'd love to help!
Have a magical day,
Matt
