Halloween or Christmas?

This is a big question for many Disneyland Paris goers at this time of year. Every year there are special occasions DLP make special such as valentines day and Easter. But two of the biggest occasions just so happen to fall like dominoes. Halloween and Christmas are, undoubtedly, the most exciting and extravagant events that are maximised at DLP.

Not all of us can afford to visit for both events, which leads me to the main question. Which do you pick?

For some people this question may have a direct answer, for others it's hard to weigh out. Personally I think it's very tricky, so let's break it down.

Halloween is an exciting time at DLP. Most Villains are out and about at this time, so it's perfect for character hunters. In fact, starting this year is a special Villain promenade where guests will be able to take pictures with their favourite villains. Oh and don't forget the grande finale: the Halloween party including "unexpected animations, terrifyingly delicious surprises and a “hellish” atmosphere". Not only this, the park is taken over by the Ghoulish residents of Main Street, U.S.A. along with giant pumpkins shaped into your favourite characters and of course you can't forget the pumpkin people! As you can see, there's a lot happening but if you're not a fan of the colour orange - DLP at Halloween isn't for you!

Moving onto Christmas now and where to start.  First of all, Christmas is a really magical time so you will not be able to find one area in the parks that is NOT covered in decorations! At christmas, you'll be able to see Mickey and his friends light up a gigantic christmas tree right in front of the castle, and even meet Mr. Claus himself. If you're a fan of Dreams! (who's isn't?) then you can see a special Christmas edition of the show including a segment from Frozen.

Speaking of Frozen, Anna and Elsa will both be moving into the Princess Pavilion this Christmas. So if you're a fan of queuing up to get a ticket to queue up again to meet them - this is unmissable! (slight tone of sarcasm?! ;) ). 

Not only are Anna and Elsa joining the other characters at DLP this christmas, the mighty Merida will have her own meet and greet location which is set to transport you to the highlands of Scotland.

Are the big new character additions to the Christmas line up outweighing the Halloween season at DLP for you? Or is the opportunity to meet all your favourite villains more important? 








Let me know which one is your favourite out of the two in the comments or on Twitter/Facebook!
