Disneyland Paris attracts millions of visitors each year. As a result, some rides regularly show wait times of over an hour. But don't worry, with a little strategy, it's possible to significantly reduce the time spent in lines. Here are our best tips for 2024.
🚀 Our essential tips
Arrive early
Be at the gates before official opening: the first hour is often the quietest. Disney hotel guests benefit from early access (Extra Magic Time).
Use the official app
Real-time wait times for all attractions. Useful notifications to know when a ride becomes more accessible.
🎫 Disney Premier Access
Paid service that allows access to attractions through a fast lane. Available in two versions:
Premier Access One
Single access to a chosen attraction. Perfect if you want to avoid the queue for a specific popular attraction.
Premier Access Ultimate
Multiple attractions included with a single reservation. Ideal for very busy days when you want to maximize your time.
💡 Tip: Book your Premier Access early in the day, they can sell out quickly during peak times.
📅 Smart planning
Attraction strategy
Start with the popular classics (Big Thunder Mountain, Peter Pan's Flight, Ratatouille). Save the quieter attractions for the afternoon.
Take advantage of parades
Use parade and show times: queues decrease as many visitors are absorbed elsewhere.
📆 Choose the right time
Outside school holidays
Outside school holidays and weekdays = shorter lines. Choose off-peak periods for a more enjoyable experience.
Rainy days
Rainy days are sometimes the best: the parks are emptier, and since many attractions are covered, it doesn't ruin the experience.
💎 Bonus tips
Single Rider
Some attractions offer a special line to fill empty seats. Ideal if you accept not sitting next to your loved ones.
Eat at off-peak times
During meal times (12pm-2pm and 7pm-8pm), waiting lines decrease. Take advantage of this to ride popular attractions.
✅ In summary
Avoiding long lines at Disneyland Paris is above all a matter of strategy and organization:
- Arrive early to enjoy the quieter first hours
- Use the app to track wait times in real time
- Take advantage of Premier Access for popular attractions
- Plan your attractions with an effective strategy
- Choose the right times to visit (off-peak periods, rainy days)
With these tips, you'll spend less time waiting... and more time experiencing the Disney magic.
