How many times have I also hoped that the Crush Coaster queue would go down without me being able to do the attraction! Before 2021 and the COVID crisis, you could always rely on <strong>Fastpass<\/strong>, Disneyland Paris\u2019 <strong>free queue cutting system<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The solution to not having to choose: Disney Premier Access, Disneyland Paris\u2019 paid ticketing system! At Disney World, I had the opportunity to try its American counterpart, <strong>Disney Genie Plus<\/strong>. It was a great way to make the most of our days at EPCOT, Animal Kingdom and Magic Kingdom. So let\u2019s see how it works and whether it\u2019s really worth getting out your wallet!<\/p>\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"text-center mt-5 mb-5\"><span data-disney=\"aHR0cHM6Ly9jbGsudHJhZGVkb3VibGVyLmNvbS9jbGljaz9wPTg4NTQmYT0zMzgyNTg3Jmc9MjUwNTI0MzQK\" class=\"linkblank btn btn-disney\">Get Your Disney Premier Access \u00a0<i class=\"bi bi-alarm-fill\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading joli-heading jtoc-heading\" id=\"disney-premier-access-the-new-paid-fastpass\">Disney Premier Access: the new paid FastPass<\/h2>\n<p class=\"list\">Starting in 2021, Disneyland Paris will offer two new ways to shorten the queue for <strong>17 of the most popular attractions<\/strong> in Disneyland and the Walt Disney Studios. There are two different queue cutting systems:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Disney Premier Access One<\/strong>: a la carte queue cutting<\/li>\n<li><strong>Disney Premier Access Ultimate<\/strong>: quick access to all 17 attractions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These two options give you access to the Premier Access queue (the old FastPass queues) and virtually no waiting time to your favourite attraction. But <strong>they don\u2019t work the same way<\/strong>, and most importantly, they don\u2019t cost the same!<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.touschezmickey.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/02\/fastpass-vs-disney-premier-access-big-thunder-mountain-1024x576-1.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1019\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.touschezmickey.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/02\/fastpass-vs-disney-premier-access-big-thunder-mountain-1024x576-1.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.touschezmickey.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/02\/fastpass-vs-disney-premier-access-big-thunder-mountain-1024x576-1-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.touschezmickey.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/02\/fastpass-vs-disney-premier-access-big-thunder-mountain-1024x576-1-768x432.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.touschezmickey.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/02\/fastpass-vs-disney-premier-access-big-thunder-mountain-1024x576-1-150x84.webp 150w, https:\/\/www.touschezmickey.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/02\/fastpass-vs-disney-premier-access-big-thunder-mountain-1024x576-1-80x45.webp 80w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Old BTM Fastpass entrance on the left \u2013 New Premier Access entrance on the right<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"fyi\">\n<p><b>What about the Standby Pass? What has become of it?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Launched by Disneyland Paris in September 2020, Standby Pass was a virtual queue system that you could access from the official app when you were in the park. Like Fastpass, it allowed you to reserve a slot to enter an attraction. However, this system was discontinued by DLP in September 2021.\n<\/p><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading joli-heading jtoc-heading\" id=\"disney-premier-access-one-pay-as-you-go-fastpass\">Disney Premier Access One: pay-as-you-go fastpass<\/h2>\n<p>Disney Premier Access One <strong>works in exactly the same way as the old Fastpass<\/strong>, except that it has to be paid for and can only be accessed via the app! It allows you to buy exclusive tickets for a certain number of attractions in both parks. Like Fastpass, depending on availability, you\u2019ll be offered a slot for direct access to your favourite attraction.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, you will have to wait until the reserved slot has started before you can buy a new Disney Premier Access One ticket. So you can only have one ticket at a time. Finally, like Lightning Lane at Disneyworld, Disney Premier Access One tickets can only be purchased on the day of your visit, not before.<\/p>\n<p class=\"list\">Things to remember about Disney Premier Access One<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Only 1 ticket per pass<\/li>\n<li>Slots are subject to availability<\/li>\n<li>Must be purchased at the park<\/li>\n<li>Only available via the app<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"text-center mt-5 mb-5\"><span data-disney=\"aHR0cHM6Ly9jbGsudHJhZGVkb3VibGVyLmNvbS9jbGljaz9wPTg4NTQmYT0zMzgyNTg3Jmc9MjUwNTI0MzQK\" class=\"linkblank btn btn-disney\">Pick Your Disney Premier Access One \u00a0<i class=\"bi bi-alarm-fill\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"height:38px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading joli-heading jtoc-heading\" id=\"variable-prices-and-availability\">Variable prices and availability<\/h3>\n<p>These are probably the two biggest drawbacks of Disney Premier Access One. As with the old FastPass, there are a limited number of Premier Access slots available each day. Depending on when you want to order and how busy the park is, you may not be able to find availability.<\/p>\n<p>Another consequence of peak demand is the price of a la carte food. Prices vary depending on the day of the week, season and demand. For example, the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction sells for \u20ac5 on off-peak days and \u20ac8 at weekends.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading joli-heading jtoc-heading\" id=\"how-do-i-get-a-disney-premier-access-one-ticket\">How do I get a Disney Premier Access One ticket?<\/h3>\n<p>It couldn\u2019t be easier to bypass the standard queue or another attraction.

The drawbacks are also pretty much the same.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading joli-heading jtoc-heading\" id=\"why-you-should-buy-a-disney-premier-access\">Why you should buy a Disney Premier Access<\/h3>\n<p>Although Disney Premier Access is not free, it offers a number of undeniable benefits. Here are the main ones:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list list\">\n<li><strong>Huge time savings<\/strong>: When you consider that the average wait to ride the Crush Coaster is a good hour, and that Fast Track reduces that wait to just 5\/10 minutes, imagine the time you\u2019ll save to spend elsewhere in the park! With the Ultimate Ticket Cutter, you\u2019ll save even more!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Less stress and wasted energy<\/strong>: spending a day at Disneyland Paris is never easy, especially when young and old want to make the most of it. It\u2019s not uncommon to see guests striding from one attraction to the next, or running so as not to miss a parade. With Premier Access, you\u2019ll be able to do what Disneyland Paris does best: relax!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Priority access<\/strong>: Imagine a rainy day at the park and everyone rushes to the covered queues. Queues explode and there\u2019s a good chance you\u2019ll have to wait even longer outside. To stay warm, just use the DPA queue!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Multiple rides<\/strong>: Is your child dying to get back on the Big Thunder Moutain cars before they leave? Thanks to the DPA, they can ride BTM one last time before leaving the Disney park, without waiting and without crying \ud83d\ude09!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Seeing as many attractions as possible on a busy day<\/strong> is undoubtedly one of the best things about Disney Premier Access. If you can\u2019t visit the parks during the week or during school holidays, but only at weekends, you\u2019ll have to compromise on the attractions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"text-center mt-5 mb-5\"><span data-disney=\"aHR0cHM6Ly9jbGsudHJhZGVkb3VibGVyLmNvbS9jbGljaz9wPTg4NTQmYT0zMzgyNTg3Jmc9MjUwNTI0MzQK\" class=\"linkblank btn btn-disney\">Turbo-charge your day with Disney Premier Access! \u00a0<i class=\"bi bi-speedometer\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading joli-heading jtoc-heading\" id=\"the-disadvantages\">The disadvantages<\/h3>\n<p>When we think of the disadvantages of the DPA, we inevitably think of the budget aspect. But that\u2019s not the only drawback of the pay-as-you-go Fast Pass.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list list\">\n<li>It must be said that <strong>not everyone can afford to spend up to \u20ac800 on 4 Disney Premier Access Ultimate tickets<\/strong>. This is on top of the cost of tickets, accommodation, transport, meals and shopping.<\/li>\n<li class=\"list\"><strong>A different user experience<\/strong>: Some queues, such as Web or Star Tours, deserve to be experienced at least once. If you go through the DPA queue, you won\u2019t see C3PO and R2D2!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Risk of disappointment<\/strong>: Especially with DPA Ultimate, which can be purchased in advance, you may find that the park is not full and the wait is shorter than expected. Hence the risk of disappointment and the feeling that you\u2019ve spent money for nothing. I experienced this last summer when I bought a Disney Genie + for Hollywood Studios. The DPA queues at the most popular attractions are also sometimes victims of their own success, forcing you to wait a while.<\/li>\n<li><strong>An inconvenience for some people<\/strong>: this is not my case at all, but some people feel uncomfortable \u201cgoing in front of everyone\u201d. It can also give the impression of a 2-speed experience, with those who can afford it on the one hand and the others on the other.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div style=\"height:29px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading joli-heading jtoc-heading\" id=\"what-i-think-about-disney-premier-access\">What I think about Disney Premier Access<\/h2>\n<p>Now that you know all the pros and cons of this paid fastpass, here\u2019s what I really think.<\/p>\n<p>For me, Disney Premier Access, One or Ultimate, <strong>is justified in certain cases<\/strong>. I\u2019m thinking mainly of people who don\u2019t visit the parks very often, one or two days at most, and mostly on weekends. It really depends on when you come!<\/p>\n<p>Even though the magic of Disneyland Paris is always there, <strong>the stress of running around all the time <\/strong>to see as many attractions and shows as possible is also there!<\/p>\n<p>And if you want to make the most of your day without the stress, DLP\u2019s paid queue breaker is the best solution there is! The DPA Ultimate<strong> can save you at least 2 to 3 hours of queuing time in a single day<\/strong>. That\u2019s huge. That\u2019s extra time you can spend browsing merchandise shops, sit-down restaurants or shows.<\/p>\n<p>Be aware of the opening times of the parks and lands. I\u2019d also recommend getting the Ultimate early so you can enjoy it from the first hour.<\/p>\n<div class=\"text-center mt-5 mb-5\"><span data-disney=\"aHR0cHM6Ly9jbGsudHJhZGVkb3VibGVyLmNvbS9jbGljaz9wPTE5MjQwJmE9MzI4NDgxNiZnPTI1MDUyNDQ0\" class=\"linkblank btn btn-disney\">Get your Disney Premier Access now \u00a0<i class=\"bi bi-alarm-fill\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading joli-heading jtoc-heading\" id=\"vip-guided-tours-another-way-to-avoid-the-queues\">VIP Guided Tours: another way to avoid the queues<\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re coming to Disneyland Paris as a group, there\u2019s another way to avoid queuing for hours.<\/p>\n<p>Relatively unknown to the general public, the Disneyland Paris VIP Guided Tour gives you unlimited direct access to your favourite attractions!

Let me explain. As the DLP Standby Pass has been discontinued until further notice, there is no longer a free queue breaker for most guests. There are, however, a few exceptions: children aged 3 and under who ride an attraction with an adult with a DPA can enter for free. It\u2019s also possible to get a free Disney Premier Access One if an attraction closes just before you\u2019re due to enter. A cast member may be able to give you one or more free ticket cutters, depending on the situation.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading joli-heading jtoc-heading\" id=\"how-much-does-disney-premier-access-ultimate-cost\">How much does Disney Premier Access Ultimate cost?<\/h3>\n<p>As explained above, the price starts at \u20ac90 and can vary depending on the day of the year you book. During high season (summer holidays, Christmas, etc.) and weekends, it can be as much as \u20ac200 per person per day.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading joli-heading jtoc-heading\" id=\"can-i-get-a-discount-on-disney-premier-access\">Can I get a discount on Disney Premier Access?<\/h3>\n<p>No, to the best of my knowledge, Disneyland Paris has never offered a discount on its paid Fast Pass.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How much does Disney Premier Access cost and where can I find it?
