Queues Explained at Disneyland Paris! | A Beginners Guide.

Everyone stresses about the queues before a trip, even seasoned guests. What are the crowds like? What are wait times going to be? But waiting is a fact of Disney life, and like everything in DLP, it can be magical.
In this video I run through everything you need to know about how queues work, how to plan to wait, and how you can make your trip the most magical experience, despite the queues.

    Great advice as always! Never got to Disneyland when we were in France in the spring but definitely hoping for a future trip! As for waiting in any queues. In WDW I started a game called collecting Americans. When we spent time chatting with other guests in line we would ask where they were from and we would mark down their state and see how many we could collect. One dad was so into it when we ran into the next day in Epcot he tried to find us people from states we had not found yet. Thanks to all the kind people who were nice enough to chat and tell us a little about the places they were from. The kids were probably embarrassed at the time but I hope they can look back on it fondly !!!

    All great tips and advice! Would I pay €90 to walk onto every ride for a day, absolutely. Would I pay €90 every day? Definitely not! Me and my partner got back from DLP last week and paid for buzz with premier access and would do it again in a heartbeat. I would add it to my budget and have a ride day, get all of them done and then I have the rest of my holiday to relax, watch some shows and parades and later decide if there are any I would want to do again. Rather than wait and hope they drop in queue times. I know this isn’t ideal for everyone and some people don’t mind the long waits, but when we were there, there were at least 5 rides over 1 hour each day for most of the day, crushers coaster we barely saw below 2 hours. To be able to skip the queue gives the holiday a much more pleasant feel and flow. But each to their own. Love your videos!

    Yeah, I think it definitely works better for single people and childless couples than it does for families with kids, where one person has to pay for 4, 5 or 6 lots of PA at a time. It’s a shame to put the families with kids at a disadvantage in this way, but I don’t suppose there’s any way around it 🤷🏻‍♀️If it works for you and is in your budget it’s a great service xxx

    These tips are great. I wish I would have seen it earlier - meaning last year before we went for our first trip there. 😅 Thank you for the video 💖 One great tip, I've used quite a lot end of April, is to compare the times for the single rider lane (if you are the only wanting to ride that ride or your group is ok with not being together in the same cart) and the premiere access lane. It saved me money at least twice. 😄👍

    Also, if your heart is set on an e-ticket ride and it’s not in your budget to pay the premier access, try single rider. Yea, you will be split from your party but you will be able to experience the ride. Time is money any way you look at it. Decide how you want to spend that time or that money based on your means and your priorities

And I would love to know what each queue is like - the best themed queues where walking through them is part of the attraction! Thanks!

    We are heading there in September and I absolutely can't wait!! I am an organiser so I love watching your videos. I would love a video or list on queues that I need to plan amusement/snacks etc for and ones where the queues are an experience (perhaps broken down by area). We live in Australia and are combining this with a trip England, so desperate to make it as perfect as possible, as it literally is a once in a lifetime experience.

    Good morning, the daughter and I call the game "Slappy, slap, slaps" this is because we try to get three continuous slaps on the opposition while saying "Slappy, slap, slaps". Me, the wife and daughter are heading to DLP next Sunday for 3 days. This is an early 40th Birthday gift for me and we will be staying at the Marvel hotel (to say I'm excited is an understatement).

    while we were in the queue at ratatouille in wdw, my cousin & i were playing disney heads up (which you get for free if you’re in a disney park & you turn on your location 😉) and the little girl in front joined in. she and her family were from indiana, and we ended up having such a lovely chat together. queues can be a blessing in disguise!

    Another amazing and informative video! Since we're talking queue strategies, I have a question. At Disney World, you can sneak into a queue at literally one minute before park close because as long as you're in the queue you will definitely ride regardless of what closing time is. Does it work the same way at DLP, or do they tend to close the queues a bit before park close? Thanks!
