What is an undated ticket?
An undated ticket is a park ticket you buy with no set date. You decide on your visit day later instead of locking it in at checkout. The most flexible one is called the Billet Liberté: it stays valid for one year from the purchase date. Only three dates are blocked out: July 14, October 31, and December 31. It comes in a one-park or two-park version for the day.
This ticket usually costs more than a dated ticket, since you’re paying for flexibility. If you can’t decide between tickets, I compare them all in my main ticket guide. To know exactly what your ticket covers (and what it doesn’t), see what’s included in your ticket.
If you haven’t bought your ticket yet, start with my walkthrough on how to buy your tickets. Here, I’m assuming your undated ticket is already paid for, and all that’s left is registering your date.
Pros
- Buy now and decide on your date later
- Valid for one year, great if your plans aren’t set yet
- You can change your date and pick another day before your visit
Cons
- Pricier than a dated ticket over the same dates
- You must book a date before you come
- Your date depends on availability, and some days are already full
- Not valid on July 14, October 31, and December 31

Who needs to book a visit date?
The rule is simple: every admission without a date needs a visit day booked ahead of time. Tickets and passes that already show a date have nothing to do.
- Applies to: undated ticket (Billet Liberté) You must register a date before you come.
- Applies to: annual passholders (Disneyland Pass) The same rule applies, with a few rules of its own. See my Disneyland Pass guide for the details.
- Doesn’t apply to: dated ticket The date is already on the ticket, so there’s nothing to book.
- Doesn’t apply to: Disney hotel guests Park entry is guaranteed every day of your stay, and the date is handled automatically.
Why do you need to book a date?
Disneyland Paris caps the number of guests per day to keep park capacity under control. Date booking spreads visits out and keeps days from getting overcrowded. The system was introduced when the parks reopened on July 15, 2020 (back then, to manage attendance), and it was later made permanent. It’s still in place in 2026.
A dated ticket already has its day locked in, so you don’t book anything. An undated one leaves the choice to you: you tell Disneyland Paris which day you plan to visit.
Registering your date: a step-by-step walkthrough
You can only register on the Disneyland Paris website, on the platform built for booking visit dates (not in the mobile app). Have your ticket reference handy: it’s the number used to link your ticket to your account.
Booking opens up once the ticket is linked to your account, a short while after purchase while it gets activated. Adding a date to your ticket takes just a few minutes.
Sign in to your Disney account
Open the Disneyland Paris booking platform (in French) and log in with your Disney account. No account yet? Set one up, since registering a ticket isn’t possible without it.
Click Register a ticket or pass
Once you’re signed in, look for the Register a ticket or pass button and click it to start linking your ticket.
Enter your ticket reference
On the "Link your tickets and passes" page, enter the reference number of your undated ticket: it’s 16 to 30 digits long and printed on the ticket (an example on screen shows where to find it). You can link several at once. Double-check the number, because a wrong reference blocks the booking.
Pick your date on the calendar
A calendar pops up. Select your visit day from the green dates (available). Gray dates can’t be booked, and a crossed-out date is already booked.
Review and accept the terms
Look over the summary to make sure the ticket and day are right, agree to the terms of sale, and hit Continue to lock in your booking.
Get your confirmation by email
The screen confirms your date, and you also get a recap by email. When the day comes, your ticket is what gets scanned at the turnstiles (your reserved date is already tied to it). Hang on to the email as backup in case of a problem, but you don’t need it to get in.
Reading the booking calendar
On the registration calendar, each color means something. Don’t mix them up with the price-period colors for dated tickets, which are about price, not availability.
- Green: date available This day is open for your undated ticket, so go ahead and book it.
- Blue: another kind of admission These dates aren’t for undated tickets: they’re meant for another kind of admission, like a pass.
- Gray: date unavailable It’s sold out, or booking for it has closed.
- White: not open yet The date isn’t open for booking yet. Check back later, since new dates are released over the months.
When to book your date (and what to do if it’s full)
Availability is limited, and dates open in waves, usually several months out, with new dates unlocked as the months go by.
If your day shows up gray, it can’t be booked anymore: pick another green date, or keep an eye on the calendar, since some days can open up again. If a green date works for you but you’d rather have a quieter day, I help you target the right period in my crowd guide.

How to book visit dates with a Disneyland Pass: full guide
With a Disneyland Pass, getting into the parks involves a step people often forget: booking your visit date ahead of time, on the website rather than in the app. Here’s how to make a reservation, manage your 3 dates, and avoid a no-show.
Read the articleFrequently asked questions
01 Do you need to book your visit date with your ticket?
Yes, most of the time. With an undated ticket, your visit date has to be registered in advance on the official website, otherwise you risk being turned away. Dated tickets and Bon Plan tickets are already locked to the specific date you chose when buying. After that, you walk straight up to the turnstiles, with no ticket booth to stop at.
02 Where do you register the date for an undated ticket?
On the official Disneyland Paris website, on the page for registering tickets and passes (in French). You can’t book your date in the mobile app. You’ll need a Disney account.
03 Can you change the booked date on an undated ticket?
Yes. You can cancel your reservation until 10:00 (Paris time) on the booked day without losing your ticket. To switch days, cancel and then book a new date: only that new reservation depends on availability.
04 What should I do if my date is sold out?
A date shown in gray is no longer available to book. Go for another date marked in green, or watch the calendar, since new dates are released regularly and some sold-out days reopen. For a calm day that still has space, use the crowd calendar.
05 How do you get your tickets, and do you need to print them?
Your tickets arrive by email right after purchase, as an e-ticket. On the day, you can show it on your phone (the QR code is all you need) or on paper, whichever you prefer. If you really want a physical ticket, request it by phone from the reservations center (+33 9 69 32 60 61) up to 14 business days before your visit date: shipping costs extra. You can also link your tickets to your account and to the Disneyland Paris app.
06 Why do Disneyland Paris ticket prices change so often?
Disneyland Paris switched all its tickets to dynamic pricing in November 2024. So the same ticket can cost more or less depending on your visit date, demand, and when you buy it. Peak periods (French school breaks, Christmas, Halloween, long weekends) cost the most, and prices climb as the date approaches. A color-coded calendar lays out the price date by date.
