Great advice as always! Never got to Disneyland when we were in France in the spring but definitely hoping for a future trip! As for waiting in any queues. In WDW I started a game called collecting Americans. When we spent time chatting with other guests in line we would ask where they were from and we would mark down their state and see how many we could collect. One dad was so into it when we ran into the next day in Epcot he tried to find us people from states we had not found yet. Thanks to all the kind people who were nice enough to chat and tell us a little about the places they were from. The kids were probably embarrassed at the time but I hope they can look back on it fondly !!!
All great tips and advice! Would I pay €90 to walk onto every ride for a day, absolutely. Would I pay €90 every day? Definitely not! Me and my partner got back from DLP last week and paid for buzz with premier access and would do it again in a heartbeat. I would add it to my budget and have a ride day, get all of them done and then I have the rest of my holiday to relax, watch some shows and parades and later decide if there are any I would want to do again. Rather than wait and hope they drop in queue times. I know this isn’t ideal for everyone and some people don’t mind the long waits, but when we were there, there were at least 5 rides over 1 hour each day for most of the day, crushers coaster we barely saw below 2 hours. To be able to skip the queue gives the holiday a much more pleasant feel and flow. But each to their own. Love your videos!
Yeah, I think it definitely works better for single people and childless couples than it does for families with kids, where one person has to pay for 4, 5 or 6 lots of PA at a time. It’s a shame to put the families with kids at a disadvantage in this way, but I don’t suppose there’s any way around it 🤷🏻♀️If it works for you and is in your budget it’s a great service xxx
Great intel and totally applicable to all the parks - minus Tokyo which is essentially done at 10:30 am (literally all paid + free passes gone, all queues 45 to 1:20+ min).
Also, if your heart is set on an e-ticket ride and it’s not in your budget to pay the premier access, try single rider. Yea, you will be split from your party but you will be able to experience the ride. Time is money any way you look at it. Decide how you want to spend that time or that money based on your means and your priorities
Great video as always. Yes I would love to see both of those videos you mentioned. A bit of a day planning strategy - which rides to do at which point of the day e.t.c. And I would love to know what each queue is like - the best themed queues where walking through them is part of the attraction! Thanks!
We are heading there in September and I absolutely can't wait!! I am an organiser so I love watching your videos. I would love a video or list on queues that I need to plan amusement/snacks etc for and ones where the queues are an experience (perhaps broken down by area). We live in Australia and are combining this with a trip England, so desperate to make it as perfect as possible, as it literally is a once in a lifetime experience.
@@37DisneyStreet My 90 year old Grandmother lives near Crewe so we are staying with her for almost two weeks then heading down to Watford for Harry Potter Studio Tour before taking the Eurostar to Paris/Disneyland. We have 3 days in the park and a day or so for exploring Paris. I literally cried when I purchased the plane tickets, I am so excited for it all!!!!!
These tips are great. I wish I would have seen it earlier - meaning last year before we went for our first trip there. 😅 Thank you for the video 💖 One great tip, I've used quite a lot end of April, is to compare the times for the single rider lane (if you are the only wanting to ride that ride or your group is ok with not being together in the same cart) and the premiere access lane. It saved me money at least twice. 😄👍
Another amazing and informative video! Since we're talking queue strategies, I have a question. At Disney World, you can sneak into a queue at literally one minute before park close because as long as you're in the queue you will definitely ride regardless of what closing time is. Does it work the same way at DLP, or do they tend to close the queues a bit before park close? Thanks!
I’ve had it both ways! Been denied access at Pirates at 9:50pm, but snuck on Indiana Jones (walk on) at 10:05pm, so I think it’s at cast member discretion… But that leads me to another tip: you can ride ANYTHING during the fireworks! Wait times V low x
@@37DisneyStreet Makes sense. We won't temp fate and wait until the last minute for things we haven't ridden during the day. Yes, I'm also a big fan of riding attractions during fireworks. Great strategy! Thanks for the advice and for your terrific and positive attitude!
Good morning, the daughter and I call the game "Slappy, slap, slaps" this is because we try to get three continuous slaps on the opposition while saying "Slappy, slap, slaps". Me, the wife and daughter are heading to DLP next Sunday for 3 days. This is an early 40th Birthday gift for me and we will be staying at the Marvel hotel (to say I'm excited is an understatement). Thank you for the contents you send out, we hope to watch some more videos from you before we arrive next Sunday. Stay safe and take care. Ginge
while we were in the queue at ratatouille in wdw, my cousin & i were playing disney heads up (which you get for free if you’re in a disney park & you turn on your location 😉) and the little girl in front joined in. she and her family were from indiana, and we ended up having such a lovely chat together. queues can be a blessing in disguise!
@@Sophie-gn8jw just on the heads up app, if you’re in a disney park and turn on your location it should come up. cant remember exactly how it happened. not sure if it works in every disney park around the world, but it did in wdw!
Yes, great idea! Although Tours aren’t as numerous in DLP as WDW. There’s no menu of daily tours to choose from , you have to contact and arrange specially, and pricing is a bit illusive. I didn’t include in this video as I was steering away from options that cost money xxx
Another great video :) Does the ultimate pass works during EMG too? I would love to watch the videos you mentioned... "the best" order's ride/atractions during the day and the best way to plan the rides during EMH!! Thanks!
I’m not sure about Premiere Access and EMH, but it would probably be a better idea to go on rides that don’t have it such as Dumbo and Teacups during that time as waits will be high later in the day and with no PA option x
We went at the beginning of May, three of our 4 days Disneyland hit capacity. We tried every day to get on crush or big thunder and every time the queue was around 2 hours so we caved and paid the €12 to ride each ride.. it was worth it sadly.
Don’t think anything’s been officially revealed as yet, but I would say you can bet your life on it eventually, most likely to coincide with a future price rise!! - Chris
I've heard that the queues are better in the evening as a lot of people leave after the parade. Due to time differences I can't check this out on the app. Roughly how much would you say the queues reduce in the evening?
I'd be interested to see how many of these ultimate passes are purchased on a daily basis, what percentage of visitors pay the extra and how many are in their group. But of course, disney would never publish that
Just to let you know. I checked for an ultimate pass for 1 day of our 3 day stay. The amount was $1,000 for 6 people. I find that outrageous. The numbers you quoted maybe in euros or pounds?
Here's the problem I have, I have no kids. My wife wants to go. But I have less than no interest in anything Disney. I like rides but hate overly themed stuff. Universal Orlando was great, but Disney just fills me with dread

The Marvel Hotel is amazing. We’ve visited the common areas, but never stayed there; very jealous! Have an amazing time and Happy Birthday xxx

This is the hustle, unfortunately. Totally don’t blame you though! Better spend €12 than go home disappointed 🤷🏻♀️
“Go and gold plate your nails or something…” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤷🏻♀️🤑👸💅
So many good ideas! Xxx
A themed queue is part of the experience for me, although any queue of an hour or more is just too long
Does anyone know if the Avengers Campus rides will be included in the Premier Access Ultimate or One options when they open?

I would say a bit, but not a massive amount. You’d have better luck in the last hour of the park when people are getting ready for fire works xxx
Do they still have the free fast pass thing?
No, sorry! It’s a paid service now 😔
Only for disabled guests. Everyone else has to pay.
I'd be interested to see how many of these ultimate passes are purchased on a daily basis, what percentage of visitors pay the extra and how many are in their group. But of course, disney would never publish that
I bet they’ll reveal some information eventually. Especially if it’s proving profitable. Maybe in a year or so… - Chris
