Disneyland Paris Weather

The weather in Disneyland Paris will really depend on the time of year that you go.

Be prepared for rain and when it rains, be prepared for outdoor rides to shut down until the rain is over.

We have been to Disneyland Paris when it rained an entire day and it wasn’t that bad. Just make sure you pack a poncho and you’ll do just fine.

In fact, on the day that it rained, the crowds were much less and we were able to ride just about everything we wanted without having to stand in long queues.

If you come in the off season (Spring & Winter), it is much colder and you will want to wear layered clothing and even might want to bring a pair of gloves since you will be outside much of the time.

When planning a trip to Disneyland Paris you might need to find a place to stay. While there are several Disney Paris hotels to choose from, there are even more non-Disney hotels minutes away.

Disneyland Paris Hotels

Staying at a Disneyland Paris hotel is quite costly, but when it comes to convenience, it is a clear winner.

The resorts are literally steps away from the entrance to both of the Disneyland Paris parks and to the train station.

We’ve stayed at both Hotel Cheyenne and Sequoia Lodge at Disneyland Paris and both were comfortable.
