How to Avoid Waiting Lines at Disneyland Paris

Our tips to maximize the magic without wasting hours in queues

⏱️ Reading time: 5 minutes

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

1

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).

👉 Take advantage of Extra Magic Time if you're staying at a Disney hotel
2

Use the official app

Real-time wait times for all attractions. Useful notifications to know when a ride becomes more accessible.

👉 The app is free and essential for organizing your day

🎫 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

4

Attraction strategy

Start with the popular classics (Big Thunder Mountain, Peter Pan's Flight, Ratatouille). Save the quieter attractions for the afternoon.

5

Take advantage of parades

Use parade and show times: queues decrease as many visitors are absorbed elsewhere.

📆 Choose the right time

6

Outside school holidays

Outside school holidays and weekdays = shorter lines. Choose off-peak periods for a more enjoyable experience.

7

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.
