Disneyland Paris Shuts Outdoor Rides for Fifth Straight Day Under Red Heat Alert

Overview

• The resort has closed all outdoor attractions for a fifth consecutive day on Wednesday while the region remains under France’s highest ('red') heatwave warning.
• The Paris police prefecture has prohibited fireworks at the park and Disney is presenting nighttime shows without pyrotechnics to reduce fire risk.
• Daytime parades and outdoor performances are running in abbreviated, lower‑activity formats to limit heat strain on performers.
• Several outdoor food kiosks without air conditioning have shut, sending visitors into fewer indoor, air‑conditioned rides and restaurants and causing heavier crowds there.
• Meteorologists and officials say the heatwave is unusually severe, with temperatures above 40°C and comparisons to 2003, and Disneyland Paris has kept restrictions in place until temperatures and official alerts ease.
