DLP in one day

[vettegirl]

Hello everyone,
So last week I won a free trip to Paris through my work, I am still in shock! So of course being the Disney lover that I am I must visit DLP. So with that being said can it be done in one day? I am going to get the hopper and I don't have to ride everything there, but I must ride the following: Space Mountain 2, Indiana Jones, RNRC, TOT, Crush's Coaster, Cars, and I want to see the Stitch show. Also would like to try the Cyber Space Mountain. We would get there when it opened and stay till it closes. Is it possible to do this in one day? We will be going end of Sept/early October. Thanks in advance!

If you went on a weekday it might be possible. You'd need to buy a park hopper ticket because the rides you listed are in seperate parks. I'd personally not bother with Cars (it's just like the tea cups but for kids), the Stitch show (it's just the same as Turtle talk and again is designed for kids. Indianna Jones isn't great either but there is never a queue for it. Cyber Space Mountain isn't there anymore, it was removed so that Stitch Encounter could be installed. It wasn't that great to be honest.

The highlights of the Disneyland park are Pirates, Big Thunder Mountain, Space Mountain and Phantom Manor. All are much better than their American equivalents

The highlights of the Studios are Tower of Terror, Crush, The Stunt Show, Aerosmith and Cinemagique (DON'T MISS IT!!!)

If I was you, I'd be at the Studios for rope drop, RUN to Crush as soon as they let you out of studio 1. Then get a FP for TOT. Then head to Aerosmith where there shouldn't be much of a line. Make sure you see the shows and use your FP then head to Disneyland park at lunchtime. This should give you a good 6 hours in the Disneyland park which should be plenty of time on a weekday out of season. Most rides should have short lines, make sure you get FP's for thunder mountain and Space Mountain.

we have been for 2 day trips ( saturdays)
and while it was a mad manic non stop day lol ( got there for opening and stayed til close!)

we did manage to do most of what we wanted to

also seeing the Lion King show each time ,and some of the Lilo & Stitch show

so if i can do it on a sat, you should have no probs if its a weekday ? just be prepared for sore feet / legs lol

Congratulations, and ditto what Happy Tappy says about the highlights (I'd add Pirates as being better then WDW as well). Read my 5/19/08 trip report for details of our daytrip from Paris as we had a similar agenda (archived under Trip Reports). Definately go on a weekday (DLP is very effected by weekend crowds). Don't miss Cinemagique...well done (and my gang LOVED Crush).

Cyber space mountain is no longer at Disneyland Paris. I would definately ride BTMRR, it is a lot better than the ones at Disneyland and WDW as it is on its own island in the middle of the lake.

Wow, thanks for all of the advice so far. So it sounds like a weekday will work for me. I am so excited!

Congratulations on your win

We've been in early October and the parks were very quiet, I'm sure you'll have a lovely time and be able to get a lot done too and as an added bonus the weather seems to always be very nice at that time of the year.

Wow! How exciting!!!

I'm sure that time of year you can do it all in one day if you go during the week.

Also, some people have bought fastpasses from eBay that allow you to hold more than one FP at a time. Could be well worth it for you!!
