A few questions about first trip

[Saturn23]

Hi, I'm going to be at DLP in a few weeks and was wondering what the weather will be like in September. All the pictures I've seen show people wearing long pants and jackets. Will it be cold? I was planning on jeans, sandals and a long sleeve t-shirt. I'm wondering if I need something warmer than that.

I read that up until recently you were able to obtain a fastpass for each ride simultaneously but that they changed it to one at a time or one every two hours. Is this true?

Thanks for any help!

I'm planning on looking at the weather forecast just before we go at the beginning of October, but will probably go for the same kind of clothes I'd be wearing here in the Midlands at that time.

Last year in mid-September, my sister and family were at DLP, and they wore shorts, t-shirts and sandals/trainers the whole time. However, we also had nice weather here in the UK at that time.

When we visited in September 2005 the weather was warm during the day. We wore trousers/jeans and T-shirts most days. It was quite chilly on a morning first thing but soon warmed up.

But taking into account how the weather has been lately it would probably be worth checking the weather forecast before you go and then decide what clothes to wear.

With regard to the fast passes - yes you can only get one at a time. I think there was something like a 3 or 4 hour wait until you could get another one, or until the one you had was used.

the fastpass system in DLP is the same as the US and can be very frustrating lol. they r very hot on it and quick to show u the exit if u try to get in earlier lol.
as for the weather, the evening r chilly, but the days will be pleasnt - but take what u think and do look at the weather reports a few days before u go.
i go a week today and cant wait woot lol.

You have to wait until your window of the first FP opens before you can get another FP.
The downside is that you can no longer hold multiple FPs which for those who understood how to make it work will be disappointed to see it lost.
The up side is that FPs no longer are gone by lunch-time (in the case of Peter Pan) and you'll still be able to get a FP in the evening

It usually is warm around this time of year. I wouldn't pay much attention to what people are wearing as when my mate & I went in June it was 25 degrees Centigrade plus, we were wearing shorts and were still hot. People were wearing scarves, gloves and winter coats! I witnessed this in April too when it was hot.

Jeans and long sleave tshirt should be fine, just take a jacket with you in case.

Thanks for your help everyone!

I think the pictures I saw of people bundled up had me a little worried. I looked at the average temps for Paris around that time, but it seemed colder in the pictures (if that makes any sense).

Can I just ask if anyone knows since the change to the FP system, whether expired tickets will still produce FPs from the machines, not that I would use them or anything, just curious.

BTW Saturn 23, we were there October 2004 and spent most of the time in Tshirts, even in the evening.

I've been on a couple of sep trips and the weather has always been great... It's a bit cold in the morning and in the evening, but a warm sweater is enough. During the day it's warm in the sun and not cold at all... I would say long jeans, a t-shirt and a sweater would be enough...

I'm informed by others that they will work

That's interesting

Well when I went for two days in October 2005 my bf and I wore t-shirts all the time. Bar in the mornings and evenings, where it was a bit chilly, but a longsleeved shirt was enough to keep us warm then

Last year we went near the end of October (24th if my memory serves me well) and it was quite chilly.
I'd advice taking along some actual shoes (nothing wrong with sandals but I think they might be cold if you're out of luck with the weather) and a warm sweater.

Mind you, we did have a lot nicer summer last year and the year before that, so it might not be brilliant weather this September.

If you PM me, I'll give you the link to the French weather forecast
I wanted to put it here, but for some reason the forum won't allow me to post links (I managed to get one up in my signature so I'm sure I'm doing the right thing with them).

Hope that helps.

It said rain when I went in June too and it ended up being lovely bar a bit of rain when we arrived, so you might be lucky and have good/decent weather nonetheless

I always pack a small foldable (you know, kindda like K-Way) rainjacket for myself and bf though, just to be on the safe side.
