My opinion on visiting Disneyland Paris on a public holiday
Based on my experience, I recommend visiting Disneyland Paris on a public holiday primarily to park regulars, especially if the visit is planned for just one day. Connoisseurs will know how to navigate through the crowds and maximize their day. For others, I suggest planning a multi-day visit to truly enjoy the experience without stress, especially if it’s your first visit or if you don’t plan to return soon. A first visit on a public holiday may leave you with mixed memories due to the high crowds. In my opinion, it’s better to prioritize a low-crowd day for an initial discovery of the magical world of Disneyland Paris.
