For years, plenty of Disneyland Paris visitors followed a familiar pattern. They’d spend part of the day in the second park, then move over to Disneyland Park for the evening, since the castle park usually stayed open later.
That routine changed in 2026. On March 29, Walt Disney Studios Park officially became Disney Adventure World, and with the new name came a new approach to hours. Both parks now generally close at the same time, so guests can spend a full evening at either one.
This November gives fans a new wrinkle to plan around. On a few dates, the parks will split up again, with Disneyland Park wrapping up hours before its neighbor. On a few others, both parks will call it a night earlier than usual.
If you have a trip coming up in the middle or end of the month, here’s what you need to know.
Three Nights When the Castle Closes First
On Tuesday, November 17, Thursday, November 19, and Thursday, November 26, Disneyland Park is scheduled to close at 7:00 p.m. Opening time stays the same at 9:30 a.m.
Disney Adventure World, meanwhile, keeps its regular schedule on those three days. It will open at 9:30 a.m. and stay open until 10:00 p.m., giving guests three extra hours of park time after the castle park shuts down.
That creates a pretty clear game plan for those dates. Start your day in Disneyland Park, catch the attractions you care most about there, and save the evening for Disney Adventure World. Just keep in mind you’ll need a ticket that includes both parks to make that switch.
Three Fridays With an Early Bedtime
The second set of dates affects both parks. On Friday, November 13, Friday, November 20, and Friday, November 27, Disneyland Park and Disney Adventure World will both close at 8:30 p.m. after opening at 9:30 a.m.
That’s a shorter evening than usual for the whole resort. On the other days of late November, the parks are generally scheduled to stay open until 10:00 p.m., so you’re losing about an hour and a half of park time on these Fridays.
The mornings are unaffected. Extra Magic Time is still scheduled from 8:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. on all six of the shortened dates, which gives eligible guests a valuable head start.
So why the change? Disneyland Paris hasn’t said. The resort has closed early on select nights in previous years for private events, but no reason has been confirmed for these dates. Hours can always shift, so check the official Disneyland Paris app before you head out.
A Few Rides Are Sitting This One Out
The biggest one for these dates is Phantom Manor, which is set to be closed from November 16 to 27. That window covers every shortened day except November 13, so fans of the Frontierland haunted house will want to visit earlier in the month.
Pinocchio’s Daring Journey in Fantasyland is closed through November 14. The Disneyland Railroad’s Frontierland Depot is closed through November 20, and the Discoveryland Station has been closed since November 7.
Over at Disney Adventure World, Crush’s Coaster has been closed since September 7, with its return expected in summer 2027.
As with park hours, closure dates can change, so give the app a final look before your visit.
About Those Signs at the Turnstiles
Keep an eye out for some reading material at the park entrances. DLP Report shared on X that notices are posted at the gates explaining how Disneyland Paris handles the photos taken when guests enter.
The resort’s official entrance photography notice lays out the details. Photos captured at the turnstiles are tied to adult admission tickets and are used to confirm that the person entering is the ticket holder, which helps prevent fraud. The images are deleted within a week, and Disney says they are not processed using facial recognition.
Guests who don’t want their picture taken can tell an entrance cast member before reaching the camera. In that case, the resort may ask for ID to confirm ownership of a named ticket. Visitors can also ask to access, correct, or delete their personal information, or file a complaint with CNIL, France’s data protection authority.
There’s no indication the photo system itself is new. The notices simply explain how the current process works.
Don’t Get Caught at Closing Time
To recap: Disneyland Park closes at 7:00 p.m. on November 17, 19, and 26, while Disney Adventure World stays open until 10:00 p.m. Both parks close at 8:30 p.m. on November 13, 20, and 27.
