Bonjour!
Welcome to planDisney, Nadine! Thank you for stopping by with your question about your plan to visit
Disneyland Paris next year to celebrate a BIG birthday, and where better to celebrate?! There is so much magic to experience at Disneyland Paris, and even more magic (if that's possible) during the
Disney Enchanted Christmas celebration!
At the time of writing, the start date of the 2026 Disney Enchanted Christmas has yet to be announced. I am sorry this is not the answer you were hoping for, but I have some dates the celebration started in previous years to help you plan the perfect time to visit. In 2021, it started on 13 November, in 2022 it started on 12 November, in 2023 it started on 11 November, and the current celebration started on 8 November.
Nadine, whether you visit during the Christmas season or not, there will be so much to experience across the resort, especially in 2026, as it will be the year Walt Disney Studios Park transforms into
Disney Adventure World, with the opening of World of Frozen, Adventure Way, Raiponce Tangled Spin, and Adventure Bay, which will be the location of a brand new nighttime spectacular Disney Cascade of Lights! I am so excited to visit next year myself!
If you have yet to book, I recommend booking a
Hotel + Ticket Package directly through Disneyland Paris, as you will be able to make an advance booking for reserved viewing of Disney Tales of Magic, which would be the perfect way to end a Disney day to celebrate your birthday! Also, if visiting during Christmas is a deal breaker for you, booking directly with Disneyland Paris (at the time of writing) includes the option to cancel or modify your trip with no penalties up to 7 days before arrival, so you could book today and amend your dates once the Disney Enchanted Christmas dates are announced.
I hope this answers your question today, Nadine, and that you have fun planning your birthday trip to my favourite holiday destination in Europe. If you have any more questions as you plan your trip, please
reach out to me. I'd love to help!
See ya real soon!
Matt
