Skip the line at Disneyland Paris | Premier Access guide & tips

What does “skip the line” mean at Disneyland Paris?

Unlike some attractions, there’s no generic skip-the-line ticket for Disneyland Paris entry. Everyone enters through the same gates.

Instead, Disneyland Paris offers Premier Access, the official skip-the-line system for select rides. It lets you bypass regular queues via a dedicated entrance, saving you valuable time on the most popular attractions.

There are two types of Premier Access:

  • Premier Access One – Pay per ride (from €5–€18 depending on season and demand).
  • Premier Access Ultimate – Pay once (€90–€190) and skip the line once at all included rides in both parks.

How Premier Access works

Here’s how to use Premier Access step by step:

  1. Download the Disneyland Paris app.
  2. Link your park ticket to the app.
  3. Choose a ride, select an available time slot, and pay.
  4. Arrive at the Premier Access entrance during your time slot and enjoy the shorter line.

⚠️ Availability is limited, especially for top rides during peak hours. Book early in the day for the best results.

Alternatives to Disneyland Paris Premier Access

If you’d rather avoid extra costs, here are ways to minimize waiting:

  • Arrive 30–45 minutes before park opening to ride top attractions first.
  • Use Single Rider lines (available on Ratatouille, RC Racer, Crush’s Coaster, etc.).
  • Visit popular rides during parades or mealtimes for shorter standby lines.
  • Check the app for real-time wait times and plan your route.

Tips to save money on skip-the-line access

  • Buy multi-day tickets to spread rides over time instead of rushing.
  • Use Premier Access One strategically — reserve it only for the busiest rides.
  • Combine Single Rider queues with Premier Access for maximum efficiency.
  • Check for seasonal promos on the official Disneyland Paris site and ticket partners.
