Are the queues at Disney Paris going to be bad?

Question

Myself and hubby have planned a trip for two nights at Disney, Paris with our two kids (4 and 2) to go mid-week October half term (UK). I've heard about having to queue for over an hour for the little kids rides, is this the case?

Answer 1

Most Disneylands do queue it is just getting at the right ride at the right time. After all it is a world wide attraction. I don't know if they have them in Paris but there are these ticket machines which gives you a free fast track ticket. When that time is for that ride you go to that ride queue up in a special queue and you give them the ticket and then you just jump the queue. I know they had these in Florida not sure about Paris.

Answer 2

My son was there 2 weeks ago on a school trip. Queues were an average of 1 hour for all rides.  Dont know about October mid-term break but the April break was very busy.  1 hour seems to be the average queue time for Disneyland most of the time.

Answer 3

Yes the queues are bad. I have been to Disneyland Paris a few times, in Winter and Summer, Strangely in winter we waiting about 2 hours or more for each ride (in 1 day we got to go on 3 rides). In summer it was about an hour to 90 minuets. Every time I have gone I have also never seen 1 single Disney character.

You should go to Walt Disney World in Florida, it is so much better, cheaper and the lines are not as bad. I wouldn’t go back to Disneyland Paris now after seeing how much better it is in Florida.

Have fun either wait, and bring lunch. It’s €13 for a hot dog.

Answer 4

Yes. Queues at Disneyland Paris can be really bad and we've waited for 90 minutes to enter some of the attractions- Space Mountain, Peter Pan's flight etc.

The visit was in October and coincided with Haloween celebrations at Disneyland Paris. The place was extremely crowded too, making photography- both video and still, rather difficult.

They do have a Fast Pass or something which helps bypass long queues. But even with that, you might need to wait at least half an hour for a ride or attraction. I wont suggest the place with kids that age. Honestly, it was utter chaos when we went.

Hotels in and around Disneyland were crowded too, with breakfast queues taking as long as 30 minutes each morning.

The Legoland (Billund, Denmark) was a much better experience.

Answer 5

ohlalala queueing in Disneyland....

the thing is to get FastPass tickets right off when you arrive (they're available for SpaceMountain, the Peter Pan ride, Indiana Jones, Big Thunder Mountain...)  hmmmm...thinking of it, except the Peter Pan ride, there are no FastPass for little kids stuff... well actually, except the Peter Pan ride, there are not so much queue for the little kids rides ! (or maybe at SnowWhite's)

so go get the Peter Pan one as soon as you arrive, it'll give you an hourspan on which you can take the fast queue

Answer 6

Unfortunately they are, particularly during a half term. However, on many of the most popular rides there is a fast track system where you collect a ticket with a particular time slot in about an hour's time and you go back at that time and join the queue.
