Holidays in Europe - school holidays in United Kingdom, Spain and Italy

Holiday dates in Europe - school holidays in United Kingdom, Spain and Italy

Of course, not all Disneyland visitors come from France, but from many different European countries. For this reason, it makes sense to take a look at the vacation dates of some large countries in Europe before traveling to Disneyland. Disneyland Paris is mainly visited by guests from England, Spain, Italy and the BeNeLux countries, so the holiday dates of these countries are particularly important. If possible, note these dates when you start planning your trip.

School holidays in England

School holidays in England are not regulated centrally as in most of the other european countries, but are determined by the individual schools, and in some cases also by the communities.

For this reason, we can unfortunately not give an overview of the holiday dates in Great Britain at this point.
However, we can give an approximate framework:

Holiday dates in the UK
February half term: 1 week approx. 10-15 February
Easter holidays: 2 weeks around Easter
Summer half term: 1 week in the period from late May to early June
Summer holidays: 6 weeks between mid-June and early September
October half term: 1 week towards the end of October
Christmas holidays: approx. December 20 until January 6th
