Disneyland Paris at Halloween: When to Ride the Big Attractions

Visiting Disneyland Paris during the All Saints’ holiday? There’s no need to search for a magic day: the whole period looks busy. But the time you ride the big attractions can change your day. Here’s what the wait times recorded by DLPTime from Saturday 17 to Thursday 22 October 2026, the first week of the holiday, show.

No genuinely quiet day before 30 October

From 19 to 22 October, DLPTime recorded average waits of 40 to 43 minutes between 10 a.m. and 7 p.m., across a panel of 16 headline attractions in the two Parks. That is a very high level. For the week of 24 to 30 October, our forecasts remain between 35 and 39 minutes each day, with no clear standout. These forecasts are estimates, and the first week of the holiday was busier than what they predict for the days ahead.

We don’t yet have a forecast for Saturday 31 October, Halloween, or Sunday 1 November, the final day of the Disney Halloween Festival. It’s best to expect large crowds.

The peak: 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

During the first week of the holiday, queues for the most popular attractions peaked between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. A few examples, showing the hourly average across those six days:

• Frozen Ever After: 63 minutes at 9 a.m., 91 minutes at noon.
• Ratatouille: The Adventure: 43 minutes at 9 a.m., 76 minutes at 11 a.m.
• Peter Pan’s Flight: 49 minutes at 9 a.m., 75 minutes at 2 p.m.
• Big Thunder Mountain: 46 minutes at 9 a.m., 71 minutes at 1 p.m.
• Spider-Man W.E.B. Adventure: 38 minutes at 9 a.m., 64 minutes at 11 a.m.

Riding these attractions in the middle of the day often means spending more than an hour in each queue. That’s a good time to catch a show, have a meal or visit high-capacity attractions.

Morning: arrive before opening

On 23 October, both Parks were open from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m., with Extra Magic Hours from 8 to 9 a.m. for guests at Disney Hotels. During this reserved hour, waits were very low: an average of 6 minutes for Spider-Man W.E.B. Adventure and 14 minutes for Ratatouille. If you have access, this is the best time for the attraction you’re most keen to ride.

Without that access, get to the entrance before 9 a.m. and start with just one major attraction, the one whose queue builds fastest. By 10 a.m., waits have already risen noticeably.

Evening: the most overlooked time slot

This is the pleasant surprise in these figures. With the Parks closing at 10 p.m., queues fall sharply after 8 p.m. At 9 p.m., Frozen Ever After had an average wait of 28 minutes, Ratatouille 20 minutes, Peter Pan’s Flight 24 minutes and Spider-Man W.E.B. Adventure 12 minutes. Just remember to join the queue before closing.

One notable exception: Autopia moves in the opposite direction. Its wait was shortest in the morning, at around 26 minutes at 9 a.m., and longest later in the day, at 59 minutes at 7 p.m.

Our plan for a day during the holidays

• Arrive before opening and head straight for one major attraction.
• Between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m., focus on shows, meals and less popular attractions.
• Save two or three major attractions for after 8 p.m.
• Check the day’s opening hours and live waits before walking across the Park.

These figures are averages observed over six days. They point to time slots that are likely to be more favourable, not the exact wait on the day you visit. A breakdown, parade or change in the weather can alter everything within minutes.
