How is Premiere Access (paid FastPasses) working out at D.land Paris?

[Jcruise86]

So how is "Premiere Access" working out at Disneyland Paris?

In America, Star Wars Rise of the R. is the only attraction I'd be tempted to use this on at D.land & WDW (+ maybe Soarin' Over Avatarland at WDW's Animal Kingdom park), & then only if this weren't too expensive.

It is live for about 2 weeks now, and based om the waiting times in the app, there is no noticeable difference yet.

They are still on limited capacity and headliners before and after introduction are about 30-50 minutes depending on time of day.

At the moment there is no real need to use the paid fp, in my opinion.

I used a couple of Premier access when I was there in August. It was good to avoid waits as single rider lines were closed and it was just me that wanted to ride, so the whole party wouldn't wait 1 hour. It was immediate ride both times, around 1 hour standard queue, completely empty on Premier. That's as far as I know about it.

The only one they could really get it rolling is if the applied it to Crush's Coaster, but that one is very complicated to even snag a "Stand-by pass" in order to endure 1 hour in the line when you arrive with the pass.... but oh well, that's Crush's Coaster, almost every day, every season, every time. Heheh.

By the way, the standby pass for Crush was cancelled a few weeks ago.
Due to the low capacity they will never have a fastpass option. At least, I don't think they ever will.

Do the parks have WiFi? Thinking of how easy it would be to buy premier access as an American on an expensive data plan…

Yes, the park does have free Wi-Fi. While there are some areas where the signal is a little patchy, typically you only have to walk 100 yards or so to get back in range.

Surprisingly, I had good coverage inside some rides. The signal in the queue of Pirates and Haunted Mansion was very decent. Making me think that the signal somehow is better on the outskirts of the park.

If, for whatever reason, it doesn't work. For ride times, there is still a display at the end of Main Street and at the plaza in the Studios (left of the partner statue).

We spent two days at DLP (Monday the 15th and Tuesday the 16th). We used premier access on the 15th as a family of four where my parents are older and have trouble standing for any amount of time.

We purchased for three rides: Ratatouille (40 min posted wait), BTM (30 min posted wait), Buzz Lightyear (30 min posted wait). It’s obviously a quiet time and often times we were the only party entering the premier access line, but we really appreciated being able to book in the moment depending on how my parents were doing (versus ILLS). The only issue for us was Visa forced me to confirm each charge before processing them as if someone was going to steal my credit card and you know… pay 12 euros to ride buzz lightyear.

I would be interested to hear what the uptake is during the holidays themselves when it’s a bit busier.
