With the right travel arrangements, you can plan your park visit, hotel stay and airport transfer before arriving in France.

Paris Disney Cabs helps visitors arrange private transfers between Paris airports, Disneyland Paris and nearby hotels. This guide covers the New Year celebrations, travel options, accommodation tips and useful planning advice for your trip.

Disneyland Paris New Year Celebrations 2026

Disney Enchanted Christmas is scheduled to run from 7 November 2026 to 6 January 2027. Visitors can enjoy festive decorations, Christmas entertainment and seasonal experiences across both Disney parks.

On 31 December 2026, both parks are scheduled to host their own New Year's Eve celebrations.

Disneyland Park: Visitors can look forward to DJ parties with Disney Characters and a special midnight fireworks display above Sleeping Beauty Castle.
Disney Adventure World: Also planning festive entertainment and a midnight drone and fireworks show inspired by Frozen, subject to suitable weather conditions.

If you want to welcome 2027 at Disneyland Paris, plan your park visit in advance and check the official programme for the latest show timings, ticket conditions and entertainment details.

What to Do at Disneyland Paris During the Christmas Season

The festive season offers more than the New Year countdown. Visitors can enjoy several experiences throughout their stay:

Christmas decorations: Explore the festive displays and seasonal decorations around Disneyland Park.
Mickey's Dazzling Christmas Parade: Watch Disney Characters and colourful floats during the Christmas season.
Disney Character encounters: Look out for seasonal character experiences and festive appearances.
World of Frozen: Discover the Christmas atmosphere in Arendelle at Disney Adventure World.
Seasonal food and shopping: Explore festive food options and Disney-themed Christmas gifts.

Check the daily programme before your visit because show schedules, character appearances and entertainment availability may change.

Best Time to Arrive for New Year at Disneyland Paris

If your main aim is to attend the New Year's Eve celebrations, consider arriving in the area at least a day before 31 December. This gives you time to reach your hotel, settle in and prepare for your park visit.

Travelling earlier can also help if your flight is delayed or your journey takes longer than expected. Airport transfers, hotel check-in and park entry can all require additional planning during the busy holiday period.

For visitors staying several days, consider spending one day exploring the Christmas attractions and keeping 31 December for the New Year celebrations.

Which Airport Should You Choose for Disneyland Paris?

Your airport choice can affect your journey time and transfer arrangements. Compare your flight options before deciding how to reach your hotel.

Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG)

Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport is a popular arrival point for international visitors travelling to Disneyland Paris. You can compare train connections, shuttle services and private transfers depending on your arrival time, luggage and group size.

Orly Airport

Paris Orly Airport is another option for visitors arriving in the Paris region. Before booking, compare flight prices with the time and cost of travelling from the airport to your hotel near Disneyland Paris.

Beauvais Airport

Beauvais Airport is farther from Disneyland Paris than CDG and Orly. Allow extra time for the onward journey when comparing low-cost flights arriving at this airport.

You can review the Beauvais Airport to Disneyland Paris transfer option when planning your trip.

Private Airport Transfers for Disneyland Paris

After a flight, many visitors prefer to travel directly to their hotel instead of managing several transport connections. A private transfer can provide a direct journey for your family or group, subject to the confirmed pickup and destination arrangements.

Paris Disney Cabs offers private transfer services for visitors travelling between Paris airports, Disneyland Paris and selected nearby destinations.

                        Before booking, confirm the following details:
                        Your airport and flight arrival time
Your hotel name and full address
The number of adults and children travelling
Your luggage requirements
Child-seat requirements, if applicable
The total fare and payment arrangements
Your pickup location and driver contact instructions

                    

For a New Year trip, arranging your transfer ahead of time can help you plan your arrival more clearly. Visit Paris Disney Cabs to enquire about your journey and confirm availability.

Where to Stay During New Year at Disneyland Paris

Choosing the right accommodation depends on your budget, group size and how much time you plan to spend in the parks.

Disney Hotels: Staying at a Disney Hotel can make it easier to access the resort facilities. Compare the hotel options, ticket arrangements and benefits included with your booking.
Hotels near Disneyland Paris: Nearby hotels can provide alternatives for families and visitors looking for different room types or budgets. Check the distance from the park and how you will travel between your hotel and the entrance.
Hotels in Paris: If you also want to explore central Paris, you may choose to divide your trip between the city and Disneyland Paris. Remember to account for the additional travel time when planning your New Year's Eve visit.

During the Christmas and New Year period, accommodation can be in high demand. Compare cancellation conditions, breakfast options, check-in times and transport arrangements before confirming your reservation.

How to Plan Your Disneyland Paris New Year Budget

Your total trip cost depends on your travel dates, accommodation, park tickets, meals and transport. New Year's Eve is a popular date, so check the actual prices and availability for your selected dates rather than relying on estimates from previous years.

Include these expenses when preparing your budget:

Return flights or other transport to France
Disneyland Paris park tickets
Hotel accommodation
Airport and hotel transfers
Meals and drinks
Souvenirs and additional activities
Travel insurance and emergency expenses

What to Pack for Disneyland Paris in December

Late December in the Paris region is generally cold, and rain or chilly winds are possible. Pack for outdoor queues and evening entertainment.

Useful items include:

A warm winter coat
Comfortable walking shoes
Gloves, a scarf and a hat
Warm layers for children
A compact umbrella or rain jacket
Portable phone chargers
Tickets, booking confirmations and travel documents

If you plan to watch the midnight celebrations, bring extra layers because you may spend a long time outdoors while waiting for the show.

Tips for Visiting Disneyland Paris on 31 December

New Year's Eve can be a busy day, so prepare your plans before leaving your hotel.

Check your tickets: Confirm that your ticket is valid for 31 December and for the park or parks you intend to visit.
Review park timings: Check the official opening hours and entertainment schedule close to your visit.
Plan your evening: Decide which park's midnight celebration you want to attend. The two shows take place in different parks, so you should not assume you can watch both.
Book restaurant meals early: Check restaurant availability and any special New Year's Eve menus.
Allow time for security and crowds: Arrive early and follow the park's entry instructions.
Arrange your return journey: Confirm how you will travel back to your hotel after the celebrations, especially if you are staying outside the resort.
