Premier Access is the best way to skip the longest queues at Disneyland Paris. In this complete guide, we explain exactly how it works, what it costs, and — most importantly — whether it’s truly worth it for your visit.
What is Premier Access?
Premier Access is the official skip-the-line system at Disneyland Paris. With Premier Access, you purchase a time slot for a specific attraction, allowing you to bypass the regular queue and enter through a dedicated entrance. It’s available through the official Disneyland Paris app.
Please note: Premier Access replaces the former FastPass system, which was free of charge. Premier Access is a paid service.
How does Premier Access work?
The process is straightforward: open the Disneyland Paris app and select the attraction of your choice, browse the available time slots and their corresponding prices, pay directly within the app and receive a QR code. At your chosen time, scan the QR code at the attraction and step straight into the priority queue. Simple as that.
Which attractions offer Premier Access?
Premier Access is available for the most popular and busiest attractions across both parks. These include Avengers Assemble: Flight Force, Ratatouille: L’Aventure Totalement Toquée de Rémy, Big Thunder Mountain, Buzz Lightyear Laser Blast, Cars Race Rally, and Star Tours: The Adventures Continue. The selection may vary depending on the season and how busy the park is.
How much does Premier Access cost?
Premier Access pricing is dynamic, meaning it fluctuates based on demand. On a quieter day you’ll typically pay less than on a busy Saturday during the summer holidays. Prices generally range between €8 and €20 per person per attraction. Bear in mind that this is charged per attraction, so costs can add up quickly for a family of four.
Premier Access Unlimited: is it worth it?
Alongside individual Premier Access tickets, there is also Premier Access Unlimited. This day package gives you unlimited access to all Premier Access attractions in a single day. The price is considerably higher — expect to pay between €80 and €130 per person depending on the season. It’s particularly good value if you’re visiting on a busy day or want to pack as much as possible into one visit.
Tips for making the most of Premier Access
Want to get the most out of Premier Access? Here are the best strategies. Book as early in the day as possible — at park opening, the most time slots are still available and prices tend to be at their lowest. Prioritise the most popular attractions, as these have the longest standard queues. Combine Premier Access with Early Entry or Extra Magic Time for the ultimate park experience. Always check queue times in the app to decide where Premier Access will truly make a difference.
Free alternatives to Premier Access
Not budgeting for Premier Access? Not to worry. There are clever ways to keep queue times to a minimum without spending extra. Visit the park on a weekday outside of school holidays for the shortest waits. Head to the most popular attractions right at opening time or during the final hour before closing. Use the park map strategically — start at the far end of the park and work your way back towards the entrance, while most other guests are heading in the opposite direction. Keep an eye on the Disneyland Paris app for real-time queue updates.
Frequently asked questions about Premier Access
Can I book Premier Access in advance? Yes, you can purchase Premier Access through the app before your visit, but you can only select your time slot on the day itself (or sometimes the day before).
Does Premier Access apply to children? Yes, but you pay per person, including children (subject to the minimum age or height requirements of each attraction).
What if I miss my time slot? Unfortunately, if you miss your time slot, your Premier Access expires and no refund is given. Make sure you arrive at the attraction in good time.
Conclusion: should you buy Premier Access?
Whether Premier Access is worth the investment depends very much on your circumstances. Visiting during the summer holidays, a bank holiday, or a weekend? Premier Access could save you hours. Heading on a weekday in spring or autumn? Queue times are often short enough to skip it altogether. At KTW Magazine, we recommend checking the expected queue times for your must-do attractions first, and then making your decision. Smart planning is always the best investment!
