What each one is.

Disneyland Paris

Disneyland Paris is Europe's largest Disney resort, set in Chessy on the Marne-la-Vallée RER line about 40 minutes east of central Paris. The resort includes two parks - Disneyland Park (Sleeping Beauty Castle, Big Thunder Mountain, Phantom Manor, Hyperspace Mountain) and Walt Disney Studios Park (Tower of Terror, Ratatouille, Avengers Campus) - plus seven Disney hotels and Disney Village.

Disneyland Paris is busy all year round, with peak periods during French, UK and Spanish school holidays, plus Christmas, Halloween and the 33rd-anniversary celebrations. Quiet periods do exist: mid-January to mid-March and early November. Check live wait times across both parks to plan your route, and use our crowd calendar to pick a lower-crowd date for your visit.

Nigloland

Nigloland is a family-run park in Dolancourt in the Aube, south-east of Paris, open since 1987 and named after its hedgehog mascot Niglo. The rides are spread across themed villages: Alpina Blitz is the big coaster, Krampus Expédition is the water ride, Donjon de l'Extrême is the drop tower, and Spatiale Experience is an indoor space coaster. Most of the rest is aimed at families, from Chevauchée Fantastique to the Rivière Canadienne log flume.

The season runs from spring to early November, finishing with a Halloween season. French school holidays and summer weekends bring the biggest crowds, while weekdays in May, June and September are usually quiet. Check the live queue times before you go and use the crowd calendar to plan your visit.
