Bonjour!
Welcome to planDisney, Bianca! Thank you for trusting us with your vacation planning question today. It looks like you have a European adventure coming up, which will include a visit to
Disneyland Paris – I cannot wait for you to experience all of the magic! I have been lucky enough to visit all of the Disney Parks in the world, and in my opinion, Disneyland Park in Paris is the most beautiful of them all!
The
reserved viewing areas for
Disney Tales of Magic and Disney Stars on Parade are a great way to guarantee an up-close view of the entertainment Disney does best! Guests who have booked a
Hotel + Ticket Package directly through Disneyland Paris are able to book reserved viewing at the time of booking if dates are available or as soon as they become available, where there is still capacity. Reserved viewing is currently available for dates through March 2026. Disney has not yet released reserved viewing bookings for May, so the best thing to do is to regularly check the
Disneyland Paris app – my advice is to book as soon as you see availability, as this experience does sell out quickly. Guests who have booked a Hotel + Ticket Package not directly through Disneyland Paris can book reserved viewing 7 days before arrival, where availability allows.
Regardless of whether you book reserved viewing for these experiences, you are still able to enjoy all the magic of these two shows. Personally, I love to watch Disney Stars on Parade from near
“it’s a small world” as this is the beginning of the parade route, so once it has gone past, we can head straight into Fantasyland to enjoy another attraction whilst other Guests are waiting for the parade to go past further along the route.
During your visit in May, you will also have another nighttime spectacular to enjoy, Disney Cascade of Lights, over Adventure Bay in the second theme park,
Disney Adventure World! This brand-new show will light up the lake with fireworks, water screen projections, drone displays and visual effects – I think this is one of the new experiences I am most excited to check out at any Disney Park in 2026!
Whilst I have not been able to give you an exact answer today, Bianca, I do hope it helps you to understand the best way to try and book reserved viewing. I hope you have a great time when you visit – if you have any further planning questions, please
reach out to me. I’d love to help!
See ya real soon!
