Going to be at DLP next month for the half marathon

[tschaan]

I'm traveling to DLP next month for the DLP inaugural half marathon. Does anyone know if there is a place to see a ride by ride comparison for DLP vs WDW and DLR? I've been to WDW and DLR multiple times and I would love to maximize my time in DLP and spend a few days around Paris. Basically, I would prefer not to spend an hour in line for Peter Pan if it is the same as WDW and DLR.

THANKS!~!!!

Disney Tourist Blog (Tom Bricker) has one.

We were just there last week and also go to WDW and DL a lot. Skip teacups - really slow. Must do's at DL would be Space Mtn (only once - it's painful), Pirates and Phantom Manor. I wouldn't wait more than 20 min for Indy roller coaster. Buzz is similar to DL and was a long line with FP - I'd skip it unless you have time. Go see the dragon under the castle and the Alice labyrinth was fun. We didn't ride Peter Pan.
DL was very pretty but we preferred rides at the Studios. Rock n Roller Coaster was better than HS and you have to do Tower of Tower just to hear it in French. Ratatouille is a must do. And our favorite ride was Crush's Coaster - this is awesome. We went right at opening and still waited 30 min.
Have fun!

These are all just in my opinion. I can't compare to DL but I've put in if I know anything about the comparisons. I haven't included anything I know is closed.:

Disneyland Park

Space Mountain - completely different, well worth a go. Goes upside down if that bothers you.
Buzz - Same as Disneyland, wouldn't bother unless you really like it.
Autopia - Similar to the other rides of this type. Gets long lines.
Nautilus - Cute walk through attraction
Small World - similar but worth doing as it's been recently refurbed.
Peter Pan - Worth doing as it's also recently been refurbed. Get a Fastpass
Snow White - same as the one that closed elsewhere but in French.
Pinocchio - same as Snow
Dumbo - same as everywhere else
Carousel - same ride, differences in themeing.
Tea Cups - same ride but feels slower than other parks.
Alice's Labyrinth - Unique, well worth doing.
Le Pays des Contes de Fees - Same idea as Storybook at DL but different enough.
Casey Jnr - Like the ride in DL.
Princess Pavilion - Princess meet and greet. Currently one princess until 4pmish then another til 7.30ish. Long lines.
Meet Mickey - not a talking Mickey like Florida. Nice theater setting though. Long lines.
Pirates - Different and well worth doing.
Indiana Jones - good themeing, quick coaster. Wouldn't queue long but worth doing later in the day.
Adventure Isle/Family Robinson tree house - will just have reopened after a long refurb so well worth doing.
Phanton Manor - unique, well worth it.

Walt Disney Studios

Rock n Roller Coaster - same track as WDW. Better themed inside, much blander on the outside.
Armageddon - time in your life you'll never get back.
Lights, Motors Action - Pretty much the same as the one that closed in Florida
Tower of Terror - Same as California, but in French.
Art of Disney Animation - very similar to the one that closed in Florida.
Studio Tram Tour - cut down version of the one that was in Florida. In dire need of an update (or in my opinion, a wrecking ball).
Crush's Coaster - unique to Paris. Long lines, no Fastpass.
Ratatouille - unique to Paris. Long lines, has Fastpass. Do this ride.
RC Racer - not at DL or WDW, long lines, very short ride but great.
Parachutes - as per RC Racer, not as thrilling but very good fun.
Slinky Dog - not at DL or WDW, cute kid's ride.
Cars Quatre Roues Rallye - Similar to the new Mater ride at California adventure. Surprisingly fun.
Cinemagique - unique show, well worth it.
Mickey and the Magician - unique to Paris. Absolutely brilliant but very popular, get there early.
Flying Carpets - same as WDW.
Stitch Live - show for kids, similar to Turtle Talk.


Hope that helps.

You've had a good comparison above so I won't repeat but just to add a few points

If you are staying on site try and make it in for EMH and do Peter Pan then with little or no queue
Use Single rider line for Ratatouille if possible as its often more or less a walk on doing it that way - the rats seat 6 (3 from and 3 back) so theres nearly always space in one for a single rider
Pirates - I prefer the DLP version to DL (I can't remember the WDW version as been long time since Ive been ). The story is a different order to DL which I think works better. The drops are also a bit bigger and faster
Phantom Manor - have a read of the back story first as it will make more sense. The whole of Frontierland is based on a story about the Western town- Thunder Mesa and the manor was the house of the owner of the mine (Thunder mountain)

DD is running this coming Sunday ...I think the parks open at 10:00 a.m so am assuming we can't go in before then to greet her at the finish line!? Anyone know?

If you are staying onsite there is usually EMH for 2 hours before the park opens. They also usually let non EMH guests into Main Street soon after 9 but they cannot go past the ropes at the entrance to each land
