Disneyland Paris in August

[Whenwilligrowup]

Wise people of Mumsnet- advice needed! We're booked to go to to DLP end of August. What are your predictions as to whether it will be a ghost town or not? This is costing us so much money that we can't really afford and If many aspects such as the parades/fireworks/shows etc aren't going to be on im wondering whether to change my booking for October half term ? Or am I just panicking ?

I would imagine by august it will have ended. But I did hear some 'expert' suggesting 6 more months so maybe not. How on earth can we guess? Do you have travel insurance already purchased? Does it have pandemic cover?

I do have insurance but not sure if it covers pandemics! However if I amend my dates soon enough I can change to October for a £25 admin fee so not sure if it's worth changing now just to be on the safe side! This will be our first family holiday abroad after saving up for a long time, and probably the only time we'll visit Disneyland so I want to give the DCs the full experience. But on the flip side don't want to act in haste when things may well have blown over by August !

a good summary of insurance cover

In August I would worry more about the heatwave. Paris is miserable that time of year.

I'd change it. Better to be safe than sorry

I'd change just to be safe but also October you'll get the Halloween stuff and Disney usually put on a good show

Eek, we're booked for end of June-early July and have insurance with Debenhams. Our balance is due mid April and not sure what to do.
