Feb/May half terms WWYD?
I’ve been looking at May half term and it’s £1950 in sante fe with free breakfast (£2500 at SL with half board). Feb half term is £1300 at SF with half board. So May is dearer to start with and we’d need to buy an extra meal BUT the crowd calendar says February will be much busier?! I expected May to be cheaper due to most of Europe not being on holiday. (I’ve tried using other countries sites too) but this doesn’t appear to be the case! The weather doesn’t bother us, the last 3 times we’ve been in January and December. We’re just stuck to school holidays now.
What would others do? It’s going to be £1000 cheaper to go in February half term!

I would do May, but thats because it is much warmer (and that's important to me) I see you've said that's not an issue for you...
In which case a thousand pounds is a big difference! Even when it's busy with a bit of planning/using the early entrance you can get lots done.

as soon as you get into April, through until around September, the prices are more expensive than the rest of the year (outside of French school holidays). The winter months are the cheapest time of the year to go.
Feb is busier than May half term as the French have school holidays around the same time as the UK in Feb. But you can still do loads, you know the parks . I'd go for Feb and save the £1,000. |

That seems pricy. Have you thought about offsite?

Yeah we have, if we did that we’d buy annual passes which would be €1200 for 4 of us, it’s about £600 for a hotel room/apartment to accommodate us all in Val d’europe. This is cheaper but doesn’t include any food and I know DLP is pricey for food.

The day you arrive can make a difference. These are the grids for 2019/2020 and 2020/2021
disneylandparis/en-g...land/brochure/ Half term in Feb is all value but if you arrive on a friday in May is a Moderate. Its all based on the day you arrive for the entire break. |

We went in feb half term this year. We were incredibly lucky with the weather, it was quite warm and no rain, sunny each day. We have been at all times of year and didn’t find it too busy in February.

We've done both & personally I prefer May - longer park hours, warmer weather, pool time & mostly English people in the parks!
Have you priced it up through the French website? We have APs at the mo but a couple of years ago we booked in January for May half term & the french offer was 35% off & kids under 12 go free! |

I’ll have to have another look at the French site. We’ve booked through the Dutch site before but couldn’t find anything cheaper last time I looked!

I've done all times of year and would definitely go for May over any other time. It's not busy, the weather is better, longer park hours. We felt we had a much more relaxed trip in May and didn't have to race around and queue lots.
