A new study has highlighted the best days to visit Disneyland Paris in 2024, offering holidaymakers an ideal balance between low ticket prices and minimal crowd density. The research, conducted by travel experts from Disneyland tickets, analysed crowd densities and ticket prices for the two-park experience across October, November, and December, aiming to reveal when visitors can enjoy a less stressful visit to the famous theme park.
For those planning a trip to Disneyland Paris during the Halloween Festival in October, Wednesday 9th October emerges as the best day. The data shows that crowd density on this day is forecasted to reach just 31%, which is 43% lower than the average throughout the month. In addition, two-park tickets for adults on this day are priced at £89.81, while children’s tickets cost £85.18—significantly cheaper than the prices on busier days such as Halloween.
Thursday, 10th October, is the second-best option for visitors looking to beat the crowds. Crowd levels are expected to peak at just 36%, 34% below the monthly average, with ticket prices matching those of the previous day. A family of four, consisting of two adults and two children, could save over £205 by choosing this date instead of 31st October, the park’s most expensive day.
Tuesday, 8th October, is another optimal day to visit, with crowd density forecast at 37%, which is 32% lower than the monthly average. Ticket prices are identical to those on 9th and 10th October, offering substantial savings when compared to busier days in the month.

This is still 26% less crowded than the monthly average. Ticket prices remain consistent on these dates, making them appealing options for those seeking a quieter experience at Disneyland Paris.
For those planning to visit Disneyland Paris during the Christmas season, Monday, 4th November, is identified as the best day. With an anticipated crowd density of just 18%, this day offers the least congestion in the final two months of 2024. The price of two-park tickets for adults and children on this day are also the lowest, at £74.99 and £71.29 respectively, making it an affordable choice for families. A family of four could save nearly £263 by choosing this date instead of the most expensive option, 31st December.
Wednesday, 20th November, and Wednesday, 27th November, are tied for second place. Both days have a predicted crowd density of 19%, along with similarly discounted ticket prices. Thursday, 5th December, is another excellent choice, with ticket prices remaining at the same affordable levels, while crowd levels are forecasted to reach 36%.
