Premier Access is the ultimate 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 system 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 join 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 prices are dynamic, meaning they fluctuate based on park demand. On a quieter day you’ll generally pay less than on a busy Saturday during the summer holidays. Prices typically range between €8 and €20 per person, per attraction. Bear in mind that costs are charged per attraction, so for a family of four, the total can add up quickly.
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 on a single day. The price is considerably higher — expect to pay between €80 and €130 per person depending on the season. This option is particularly worthwhile if you’re visiting on a busy day or want to pack in as much as possible in a single visit.
Tips for making the most of Premier Access
Want to get the very best out of Premier Access? Here are the smartest strategies. Book as early in the day as possible — right 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 waiting times. Combine Premier Access with Early Entry or Extra Magic Time for the ultimate park experience. Always check live waiting times in the app to decide where Premier Access will genuinely make a difference.
Free alternatives to Premier Access
Not keen on spending extra? No problem at all. There are clever ways to keep queue times down without any additional cost. Visit the park on a weekday outside of school holidays for the shortest crowds. Head to 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 the Disneyland Paris app open for real-time waiting times throughout your day.
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, though 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 will be forfeited with no refund. 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, on a bank holiday, or at the weekend? Premier Access could save you hours. Heading on a weekday in spring or autumn? Waiting times are often short enough that you can comfortably leave it. At KTW Magazine, we recommend checking the expected waiting times for your must-do attractions first, and then making your decision. Smart planning is always the best investment — and the most magical one at that!
