    We want to go to DLP 20-22/12/26. If I buy a DLP gold pass on the 20th whilst there I worry it will be full. If I buy the Gold pass via the phone 2 months prior and exchange it on the 20th can I prebook when I pay for it rather than when it gets activated?

    Bonjour!

    Welcome to planDisney, Bethan! Thank you for stopping by with your question today about your plans to visit Disneyland Paris during the Disney Enchanted Christmas season. It really is the merriest time of the year to visit, with decorations, festive entertainment, and, for the first time in forever, World of Frozen joining in the festivities!

    I completely understand why you are thinking ahead, as you are visiting during one of the most popular times of the year. Firstly, the Disneyland Pass Gold does not have blockout dates, so your planned dates will be included in the Pass validity calendar. However, Disneyland Pass holders still need to register their visit dates in advance, subject to availability, and each Pass holder can hold up to 3 reservations at one time.

    If you purchase your Disneyland Pass in advance and it is active straight away, you should be able to link it and make your park reservations once those dates are available to book. You can only register dates a few months in advance, so keep an eye on the Disneyland Paris registration calendar as your December dates get closer. To purchase a Disneyland Pass that is active immediately, you will need to do this via the French Disneyland Paris website.

    If you purchase a Disneyland Pass over the phone and are issued a voucher that needs to be exchanged when you arrive at Disneyland Paris, you will not be able to make reservations until your Pass is active. If you are staying at a Disney Hotel, you do not need to make separate park reservations for your Disneyland Pass during your stay. You just need to show your Disney Hotel MagicPass, along with your valid Disneyland Pass, at the entrance of the Disney Parks.

    I hope this helps answer your question today, Bethan! If you have any other vacation planning questions, please reach out to me. I'd love to help!

    See ya real soon!
