Questions regarding day at DLP

[Girimama33]

Hi there,
We will be visiting Paris for 2 weeks from 6/3-6/17. We will be visiting the parks either 1 or 2 days during our second week. We are DLR regulars and have visited WDW several times as well.

Any advice on what day during the week is the best for lower crowds?
We will be staying in Paris, and taking the train in. Is it recommended to be there at Rope Drop like the parks in the USA?
What rides should we do first (when the lines are shortest)? Does DLP have FP?
Any can't miss dining?
Those are all of the questions I have so far.
Thank you in advance!

Im pretty sure Wednesday is a slow day so that could be a good day to go, why not download the disneyland paris app and monitor the queue times to see what they are.

In the WDS the ride to get on first is Crush's coaster, this gets long queues which is down to its throughput not being great, after doing Crush go to Ratatouille and get a FP and then head to Toy Story. Apart from those two the lines are not bad, TOT will be around 15-25 mins, RNRC will be a 10 minute wait, the only other ride which gets busy is RC.

In the Main Park, the queues are not bad, Pirates will generally be 10-15 mins, same with Space mountain and Phantom Manor, Autopia and Buzz will be around 30-45 mins but sometimes Buzz is a walk on.

If you're going just one day, you might want to be there at rope drop, just so you can squeeze all rides and shows in one day.

DLP has a FastPass system, but it doesn't work with the app like WDW. You'll have to get the FP tickets at the kiosks in front of the rides.

Wednesday is a day to avoid as French schools have a half day or all day off. Tuesday and Thursdays are what I would call the best

Thank you for the suggestions.
Are there any must do dining for a first timer? Any place with creative cocktails like Trader Sams or The Cove Bar?
