There’s a new official Disneyland Paris special offer now available for UK visitors, offering up to 20% off bookings for arrival dates right up to 7th November 2011. Not only that but a very generous extension of the usual “Free for Kids Under 7″ offer, which now doesn’t just include transport options such as Eurostar and Flybe flights but extends to all kids under 12.

As this offer now runs right through to 10th April and availability will be limited per hotel and per night, we’d advise booking that “Disney Magical Moments Festival” trip as soon as possible to get the deal and the dates you want. Check out all the details at Disneyland Paris.com here.

Almost every page on the Calendar has an update waiting for you this week. Monthly Park Hours has the park opening times for the whole of March 2011, with some great long weekend hours ahead — even at Walt Disney Studios Park! The second gate will be trying out a 9pm closing time on the first two weekends of the month.

The latest Extra Magic Hours dates have been published and now go daily right through June 2011, whilst Annual Passport Blockouts are now available right up to November 2012.

Heading to the resort in the next three months? You’ll be pleased (hopefully) to see the latest Closures & Refurbishments up to April 2011, including closures for Pirates of the Caribbean and Toy Story Playland attractions.

Looking further ahead, our Special Offers round-up has all the latest official deals fully updated and our Season Dates guide has been completely refreshed with a new month-by-month listing of the show, parade and entertainment dates for the year ahead.

Missed the big 50% sale last week? Or perhaps looking to book further ahead anyway?

Make sure you stop by our dedicated Special Offers page, which we’ve just updated with all the new official Disneyland Paris deals from the web and the latest Summer 2011 brochure. From the 30% offer (book by the end of January) to arrival dates for the Extra Day & Night offers, all the info is compiled here on one simple page, so you can make sure you’re getting the best price on your New Year getaway or Disney Magical Moments Festival escape.

Finally! The next lot of Closures & Refurbishments for Disneyland Paris attractions has been officially published today — much, much-anticipated for those planning a winter getaway to the magic. Cheekily, we’re only days away from December as these dates are announced, although thankfully next month you’ll only miss Space Mountain: Mission 2 for a few days.

The bigger refurbishments have been saved for the new year, including work already on two Toy Story Playland attractions — Toy Soldiers Parachute Drop and Slinky Dog Zigzag Spin — plus a mystery long closure for Studio Tram Tour: Behind the Magic, from 3rd January right up to 11th February. Perhaps Disney just imagine no-one at all will want to ride it in that cold weather.

Also notable is the refurbishment of La Tanière du Dragon, which goes down on 14th February and doesn’t open up right through the end of these listings – to March 2011 so far. This chimes in perfectly with the talk (and in fact, via reservation hotlines, confirmation) that the whole of Sleeping Beauty Castle will finally be given a full refurbishment through 2011. Something we hoped to see before the 15th Anniversary, which will now at long last be done by the 20th. A few imperfect views to be expected at times next year, perhaps…

The opening times for the second half of December confirm an interesting schedule of long park hours, with Disneyland Park opening on the busiest days at 9.30am and Walt Disney Studios Park once again being allowed to stay up until past midnight on New Year’s Eve!

If you’re looking further ahead, Extra Magic Hours have also been confirmed for April.

The latest Monthly Park Hours go right through to mid-December, when the weekdays will be colder and shorter but the weekends packed for as long as 9am to 10pm!

Further ahead, Extra Magic Hours listings are now up for March 2011 and there are a few amendments to the Closures & Refurbishments.

If you’re thinking of another trip, don’t miss the Special Offers calendar which has all the details on the new Save up to 40% offer — available for bookings through Christmas and right up to April next year, if you book by 30th November.

Monthly Park Hours for the first half of October 2010 and Extra Magic Hours for February 2011.

We can continue to see slightly shorter hours at Disneyland Park compared to October 2009, with the weekday hours for the first week cut back an hour from 7pm to 6pm and closing times on the first weekend trimmed by an hour from 10pm and 9pm to 9pm and 8pm, Saturday and Sunday respectively. Despite having three new attractions, the Studios sticks steadfastly to those 6pm and 7pm weekday and weekend closing times.

The full park opening times for the rest of September 2010 are now available, continuing the change we noticed earlier that Disneyland Park is losing an hour compared to last year.

There’s better news for August weekends, however, as the newly-updated hours there now give Walt Disney Studios Park an extended closing time of 21.00, 9pm, on 21st and 28th August — the first two Saturdays after the opening of Toy Story Playland, obviously presumed to be busy with visitors checking out the new land.

It’s another double update on the Calendar. First, new attraction Closure & Refurbishment dates for September, October and November, including “it’s a small world”, Buzz Lightyear Laser Blast and the two Storybook Land attractions.

A small refurbishment for Le Carrousel de Lancelot has also snuck into September, despite dates for the month having previously been announced, and the Blanche-Neige et les Sept Nains (Snow White) dark ride closure will in fact last until the 8th October, not the 1st as previously appeared.

The timing of the “it’s a small world” refurbishment suggests this will be the ride’s now (hopefully) annual clean-up and makeover for the wonderful “Celebration” Christmas overlay which returned last year after a long absence.

Next — another new special offer! If you missed the 50% flash sale or the 40% discount before that, you’ve currently got a chance to save 30% on arrivals up to 8th October if you book by 31st August 2010. If you’re tempted by the luxury and location of Disneyland Hotel, however, that discount increases to 40%.

Find the full listing of all current official offers here.

Great news if you’re planning a trip to Disneyland Paris in the next few months — not only are park hours for the first half of September 2010 now available, but a very limited 5 Day “Flash Sale” is offering an incredible 50% off selected dates up to 30th September!

Find more details of this and other current discounts on our updated Special Offers page.

The ever-popular Calendar has been given a quick refresh over the past week. New and updated info includes Monthly Park Hours to the end of August in a new larger format, Extra Magic Hours dates up to December and a few extra Season Dates such as Christmas, Halloween and next year’s Welsh and Irish events.

On Closures & Refurbishments you find the latest dates up to October, including lengthy refurbishments for Snow White and Phantom Manor.

Finally, our Special Offers summary has been summarised even more, putting all the current official offers on one page to make browsing through the latest discounts as easy as possible. There are also a few brand new offers, including specific dates for 1 Extra Day & Night Free (finally no trawling through the booking system) and an even more generous 2 Extra Days & Nights Free offer! If you’re super-organised and already thinking about booking for next April, there’s an Early Bird offer worth checking out, too.

You can now find park hours up to June 13th:

Along with new Extra Magic Hours details up the end of September:

The list of upcoming attraction refurbishments has also changed slightly:

Closures & Refurbishments

Note that Le Pays des Contes de Fées (Storybookland Canal Boats) and Casey Jr. – Le Petit Train du Cirque are already listed for closure right up to 2nd July.

The classic Fantasyland ride will be closed from the 10th to 31st May according to the newly-published dates. It seems we say it with every closure, but this one really is much-needed. Hopefully a replacement for that faded circus canopy is on the way.

Closures & Refurbishments

Note that the Studio Tram Tour closure is now scheduled to officially end on 29th May. The official list also simply states that the two Storybook Land attractions (Casey Jr. and the canal boats) are closed in March, April and May. This matches with the sign placed at the entrance to the area which states it will reopen “in the Summer”.

Monthly Park Hours: April 2010

Hours are generous throughout the month, with 9 and 10pm closing times at weekends for Disneyland Park. Of course, Walt Disney Studios Park never gets to have any fun beyond 7pm…

Find more info and terms on our Special Offers tracker, or jump straight to Disneyland Paris.com and get searching that booking engine.

And if you have kids under 7 — they even stay and play completely free.

This offer is only available for certain hotels for each available arrival date. When the discounted rooms are gone, they’re gone. Backed by a huge advertising campaign across TV, print and online due to launch today, one of the resort’s biggest for quite some time, make sure you take advantage before the discounts are taken.
