Disneyland Paris is gearing up for a magical yet cautious move this summer. As the 2024 Summer Olympics prepare to kick off in Paris from July 26 to August 11, Disneyland Paris is set to modify its operating hours to close at 10:30 PM at the latest starting July 29. This decision comes in light of anticipated heavy crowds and transportation challenges brought on by the influx of Olympic visitors. Safety and convenience for both guests and Cast Members are being prioritized, ensuring everyone can navigate the bustling city and transportation networks with ease and a sense of security.
Nestled just outside the heart of Paris, Disneyland Paris is one of the crown jewels of the Disney Parks family—and the only overseas Disney resort owned entirely by the company. The resort offers an enchanting escape with its iconic Disneyland Park, featuring a majestic castle and various themed lands teeming with beloved attractions. Adjacent to it is Walt Disney Studios Park, where the magic of Pixar, Marvel, and more cinema-inspired adventures come to life. Add to this, the Disney Village, a bustling hub of shopping and dining options designed to extend the magic of the parks.
The upcoming Paris 2024 Olympics promises epic sporting events, showcasing both innovation and tradition. With iconic venues such as Stade de France, Roland Garros, and the newly built Centre Aquatique Olympique among others, the global spectacle spreads across 17 locations including the captivating backdrop of Disneyland Paris. As a proactive measure to ensure safety, Disneyland Paris will close a bit earlier throughout this period to allow for safer and less stressful commutes for everyone.
In tandem with the dazzling Olympic events, Disneyland Paris is mindful that the well-being of its guests and staff is paramount. Shortening park hours during such high-profile events addresses potential safety concerns and helps prevent fatigue among visitors and staff. This way, everyone can savor the Disney magic without compromising on rest and safety.
This decision reinforces Disneyland Paris’s ongoing commitment to providing a top-notch guest experience, reassuring visitors of their dedication to safety and care.
