devol4 Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 I know it's kind of late notice but we decided to head off to Disneyland Paris at the last second, but does anyone have any good tips while we're there? This is only a one day thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zjerre Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 only one day... are you planning to do the park and the studios? if yes, i'm begging for you that it's not too crowded that day just try to get all the big attractions in the disney park like phantom manor, big thunder mountain, indiana jones, space mountain, it's a small world, pirates of the caribean and buzz lightyear. if it's not too crowded you have a chance to do them all in one day but i'm not sure if you will make it in time to the studios to ride RnRc and Tower of Terror. with only one day, you won't have a chance to ride crush's coaster cause its capacity is horrible... if you really really want to do that ride, make sure to be at the studios 30min before opening time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillMontu Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Try and get a FastPass for Big Thunder as soon as possible. They run out early in the day and the line for that ride can get really long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zjerre Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 indeed, that's always the first thing i do when i enter disney! go to frontierland and take a FP for BTM, then meanwhile go to Phantom Manor. After PM, you can do the boat around BTM (if the queue wasnt too lang @ PM) after BTM indiana jones, then pirates, small world, space mountain, buzz light year. also try to take a FP for buzz. waiting time there is almost always around 50-60 minutes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Absimilliard Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Are you going during the week or on a weekend? During the week, getting fast passes for Space Mountain is NOT worth it as they only run 2 trains and the line gets right to the merge point, making it a 30-45 minutes wait for everyone, fast passes or not. On the other hand, Space Mountain just got some trackwork done and so, it should be a little smoother and more fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devol4 Posted October 14, 2008 Author Share Posted October 14, 2008 Actually it turned out pretty well, thanks for all the tips! The park was... not as crowded as I thought it would be... Some of the rides were walk ons till the early evening. Longest line of the day was BTM for about.. 45 min.. but other than that, the lines were usually around 10 minutes long. Didn't make it to the studio's though, by the time we finished at Disney it was around 6... and the Indie ride was closed early for some reason :S I'll be posting some of the pictures I took in a photo TR sometime this week. Thanks for all the help though! Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devol4 Posted October 15, 2008 Author Share Posted October 15, 2008 Photo TR**** So... won't bore you with minute details, but here's basically the rundown of the day. Left super early in the morning from cold old germany Got into France about 30 minutes later... Open Border means no lines Drove through plain country side for 3 hours... Boring much? Spent around 25 euro's for toll along the way.. Arrived at Disneyland Resort around.. 12ish Most rides were walk ons.. or wait times under 10 minutes.. Indiana Jones closed 2 hours early.. so I didn't grab that credit.. Big Thunder was alot better than i expected.. but they really need to spruce up the line.. Star Tours was actually quite fun Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters smelled horrible.. not sure why Space Mountain Mission 2 was a thrilling surprise.. didn't expect the loop or corkscrew.. Phantom Manner and POTC were all backwards! Phantom Manner was also alot more spookier than the Haunted Mansions you'll find in the states.. POTC had the cool sword fighting and man-flying-over your head effects that you can't find in the states.. Not sure what else to write... Wish I could have had more time there... Was a blast really..The castle has to be my fav though.. Onto the pix!! **Didn't take a lot.. because my camera isn't too good of a quality.. so no hating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Thriller Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Dude, the second picture to the last is amazing! Hope you had fun there. But next time you should come with me to Holiday Park instead. --James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devol4 Posted October 18, 2008 Author Share Posted October 18, 2008 Haha, thanks James. You know I wanted to go there, but this was a one time thing. My only chance to go to Disney over here. HP is only 30 minutes from here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
