Premier Access QUESTION

[BeachMouse1]

So we are going in September and our TA suggested we buy the Premier Access Ultimate. However in reading here several people are saying it’s not worth it and to just pay per ride. My question is do they run out of these like what happens with lightning lane single pass in WDW? Does anyone more experienced here think getting one in the new frozen land when it opens be an issue? Probably only going once and want to experience it as best as I can.

Here is Karin's run down from July 2024: https://www.disboards.com/threads/karin’s-disneyland-paris-first-timer-tips-2024.3950886/#post-65637287

I'll share my thought process. Again, this is my first trip so take my comments with a grain of salt.

We are doing 3 days/2 nights. Our only full rope-drop to park close is Day 2 so we sprung for Ultimate Premier Access on that day. We're going soon after Adventure World opens so it will probably be more busy for us than it will be for you in September. Note, my situation is a little different. I live very close to Disneyland in California and I am in those parks several times a week. As such, I am focusing on shows and attractions that are different than what we have at home.

From the Disneyland Paris website, the rides below are PA. Those in green are important to us. The rides in red we will probably skip. If individual PA is $6-28 USD, that averages out to approximately $17 per ride. 13 attractions at an average of $17 is $221 which is almost to the dollar what UPA costs us during a premium season. With UPA, we don't need to go through the process of purchasing PA and then loitering around until our PA time. I've read that it is often immediate but, with UPA, we are guaranteed for it to be immediate.

Adventure World

• Frozen Ever After
• Raiponce Tangled Spin
• Crush's Coaster
• Spiderman
• Ratatouille
• Twilight Zone
• Avengers Flight Force
• Cars Road Trip

Disneyland

• Peter Pan
• Big Thunder
• Hyperspace Mountain
• Buzz Lightyear
• Autopia
• Indiana Jones
• Pirates
• its a Small World
• Orbitron
• Phantom Manor
• Star Tours

The first and third day we will either purchase individual PA or ride standby. I'll report back and let you know how it goes. Check with your travel agent. I believe you can cancel up until the week before.

No its not worth it.

The last time I was in Disneyland Paris, I was with my family, friends and 8 year old niece. We went during UK October Halloween half term break which is a very busy time, similar to October in Disneyland California. We only did one Pay As You Go Access, all the rest we did stand by. The group was a mix of me Disney Adult, first timers to Disney Parks and first timers to Disneyland Paris.
