Disneyland Paris has officially updated its hours through the end of January 2025, anticipating the quieter winter months with shorter operating times across both Disneyland Park and Walt Disney Studios Park. While the holiday season will still see festive celebrations and extended hours, the park will adopt reduced hours on weekdays starting in January to accommodate the shift in seasonal attendance.
Updated Park Hours
Beginning in January 2025, Disneyland Park will operate from 9:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. on weekdays, extending until 9 p.m. on weekends. Walt Disney Studios Park will follow a slightly earlier schedule, closing at 7 p.m. on weekdays and 9 p.m. on weekends. Notably, on January 14, Disneyland Park will close early at 7 p.m., and both parks will have shortened hours on January 17, closing at 7 p.m. and 6:30 p.m., respectively.
These adjustments come as part of Disneyland Paris’s yearly winter operations, helping to balance visitor expectations with operational efficiency. With the holiday rush winding down by January, Disneyland Paris typically shortens its hours to better accommodate the drop in foot traffic during the colder season.
