I can't believe I am considering DLP since we just got back from WDW....

[Ametista]

But we will in Paris in 3 weeks and I think I might kick myself if I don't take my 9yo to DLP. But the planning! How busy is it in June? What days are slowest? I can't find the dates for the BTMR refurb, will it be running? There's just so much to try to figure out. Any tips will help, and yes I have been trying to read through some of The Very Useful Information.

Hi, I went in June a few years ago and I was surprised at how quiet it was. I was there from Wed-Sun and it was really quiet on Wed and Thurs, got busier on Fri and was crazy Sat and Sun but we'd done all the rides by then. On the Thurs most rides were walk-ons and we got to go around twice on a few like Peter Pan, POTC, Phantom Manor and IASW. This was later in June though, I think around June 15th we were there, so if you're there over the bank holiday it'll probably be busier.
Generally Mon-Thurs are the best days to go.

I am thinking June 3rd, its a Wednesday. So it won't be as horribly busy as Magic kingdom? That would be amazing! What June bank holiday is there in France?

i was there 1st week of june last year and it was surprisingly quiet and the weather was amazing.

There are no public/bank holidays in June this year

School holidays in Europe start with Italy around the middle of June followed by Spain so if you are going in the week early in the month you will be fine.

BTM refurb is planned to start in November so you will get to do it

I too love hearing about low crowd levels in June. I will be there June 2 and 3 with my 14 year old daughter.
My mind isn't too quick this AM. What is BTM?

Don't know where that calendar comes from but if I look at May they have the 1st and the 8th as Mid and they were packed and the 14th as low which it won't be as it's the 3rd public holiday and another long weekend

Thank you! I think we will definitely have to go.

Ok sooo, are the cheapest tickets the ones available on the official DLP website, purchased before the arrival date? It looks like we can buy mini one day tickets.

I've been in the middle of June - it was very quiet and weather was nice! Enjoy! The crowds will be nothing like WDW IMO!

Oh, that's good to know! I wonder if their live wait times are accurate? I don't see a source for that information either.

 

[Trekkie101]

Live wait times come from the in park wait system, sampled at least every 5 minutes (or as often as someone opens the page), bad data pulled out and then rendered

Crowd level projections come from DLP and historic wait times to bump them up or down.
