What Is World Princess Week 2026 At Disneyland Paris?
World Princess Week is an annual celebration at Disneyland Paris themed around the Disney Princesses. This year it runs from 15th to 23rd August 2026 in Disneyland Park. There are no princess celebrations happening in Disney Adventure World (the park formerly known as Walt Disney Studios Park).
Disneyland Paris has announced this year's edition around the "passions and places" that shape each princess, which is why you'll find character appearances tied to specific stories.
New Princess Photo Locations And Entertainment
Three new photo locations are being introduced this year, each tied to a specific princess and her story. You'll be able to step into settings themed to Pocahontas, Snow White and Merida. Belle also gets her own moment, with a "Tales as Old as Time" experience built around her love of books.
Minnie waves from the balcony of Main Street Station in the morning, and Disney Princess Characters take over that same spot in the evening for what Disneyland Paris is calling a fairytale farewell. If you're staying on site or arriving early for rope drop, it's worth taking a few minutes either side of the park's opening and closing to catch these as they're a great moment.
Disney Princess Musical Memories At Castle Stage
The headline new entertainment offering is Disney Princess Musical Memories, a live show at Castle Stage featuring a medley of well-known Disney Princess songs performed alongside the characters themselves. Disneyland Paris hasn't published a running time or exact showtimes yet, but keep an eye on the My Disneyland Paris app closer to your visit.
Food And Drink For World Princess Week
Princess-themed food and drink will be available across the park for the duration of the event, described as bold creations inspired by the various Disney Princess Characters.
The Moana Magic Shot
Disneyland Paris is also adding a Moana-themed Magic Shot for World Princess Week. Magic Shots are the augmented reality effects added to photos taken by Disney photographers around the park.
Does World Princess Week Fall In The UK School Summer Holidays?
For English, Welsh and Northern Irish families, yes. Most schools in England and Wales break up in the second half of July and don't return until the start of September, so the 15th to 23rd August window sits right in the thick of the summer holidays.
Scotland is the one to watch, though. Scottish schools tend to break up in late June and return around the middle of August, so a fair few Scottish pupils will already be back in class before World Princess Week starts on the 15th. If you're planning around Scottish term dates, double check your specific council's return date, since it varies and some families may only catch the very tail end of the event, if at all, before the school run resumes.

The pricing calendar is the best way to see which dates within or around the event are cheaper than others, which can make a difference of a few hundred pounds for a whole family depending on which week you land on.
