Dlp at easter?

[natanddaz]

So i had to cancel my august trip and am looking to rearrange for next year. Noticed the eurostar is fairly reasonable going out 31st march returning on april 4th which is Easter sunday- would this be a crazy busy time? Noticed french schools dont break up till the following week but think most of the rest of europe are out by then. Any opinions greatly appreciated.

We are going 27th-3rd april. At the mo its hard to say with everything going on. Weve been easter time before and it was ok.

We are booked for March 30th to April 1st. I haven’t even thought about crowd levels as at the minute I think it’s all irrelevant, I am just hoping we still get to go!
I had noted the late break up of the French schools when I booked though and assumed that was a good sign.

I would say try to go during the week - all weekends are crazy at DLP as it's very much a locals' park.

If the direct Eurostar is not running, it's very easy to change at Lille (and a lot nicer than the cattle pen security at Marne la Vallee).

If French schools are not off it could still be crazy busy. We went early September twice and because Spanish schools start back late, it was still really busy.

Might be worth looking at May half term provided it doesn't coincide with a French holiday (they have Ascension Day as a public holiday and next year it is 13 May - because it's a Thursday most people take the Friday off as well).

These days though, who knows any more!

Hi, we did the week leading up to Easter a couple of years ago. We arrived on the Sunday (a week before Easter), sun/mon/tues were brilliant, really low crowds, nice weather, got loads done. Wednesday got a little busier but not manic, Thursday was a lot busier and Friday was mayhem, couldn't even get a FP for most rides before we had to leave late afternoon. I would hate to see how it was sat/sun/mon.

If you could manage to avoid Easter weekend it will be grand but if you can't I wouldn't worry, just enjoy it, especially after all we are going through this year

Fantastic to hear, we arrive on the Sunday and leave on the Thursday to get home for Easter weekend so fingers crossed!

We were there on Easter Sunday last year - we arrived at 8am and left after 10pm - it was hideously busy.
