Welcome to planDisney, Siobhan! It's the most wonderful time of the year when I receive a question about Christmas decorations, so thank you for bringing this to our attention today! I'll be glad to talk to you about my favorite season of the year, especially knowing you are as excited about this as I am.
So, first things first: we don’t know, as of now, the exact dates for when the
Christmas theming will stay at
Disneyland Paris theme parks, as this information is usually shared around November, but we do know that it will all start on November 9th, 2024. Last year, decorations and some events were up from November 11th, 2023, to January 7th, 2024. This will give you a good idea to finalize your plans for this year. In addition, we have confirmation that Les Chalets Gourmands, the charming Disneyland Park and
Walt Disney Studios Park Christmas food market, will be up and running this year from November 9, 2024, to March 16, 2025. Isn't that great news? I think so!
And wait, there's more! You'll be able to meet Santa Claus until December 25th, before he heads back to the North Pole. Have you already thought about what you're asking for this year? Also, starting November 16th, you can meet Mickey & Friends in Town Square, Disney Princess characters at Central Plaza, and Aurora and Prince Phillip at the Castle Courtyard. Plus, you won't want to miss Mickey’s Dazzling Christmas Parade happening twice daily, the Magical Christmas Tree Lighting, the musical show "Let's Sing Christmas!" with Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy, and Goofy, and the special Christmas edition of the Disney Electrical Sky Parade.
As you can see, there will be plenty of opportunities to enjoy the holiday season, no matter when you arrive.
I hope this info helps, Siobhan. If you have any other questions,
feel free to reach out. It's always a pleasure to help our magical friends like you!
Cheers,
Nilson
