Thanks for that Tips. I really loved the peter pan/Tink tip. 😅 One of my fav movies.

[@kikimouse]

Great tips, especially the last one! Thanks!!

[@voiceoverguyharris]

Thank you. Super excited to be going in October now.

[@FAB-ct7ub]

The best dlp channel and videos. So helpful and useful, thanks.

[@rob_2306]

Thank you so much. Brilliant tips 😄

[@Lisa-sr9xn]

I love tip 17! 😍👍💖

[@whatzupLizzy]

Thanks could you take about snacks at DP? You are the only channel covering Disney Paris on the regular - and getting right to the topic. Thanks!

[@colettehorsburgh4043]

check out @sam4god - she does a LOT of videos about DLP

[@37DisneyStreet]

I’ll have a chat with Lucie about it and suggest it I think snacks would be a great topic! - Chris

[@Thatclimbingirl]

Sometimes being disabled has its perks, I get a priority pass which means I can skip the lines and wait at most 10 minutes for any attraction.

[@37DisneyStreet]

Sometimes the queues are good though. Ones like Pirates are continuously moving and the atmosphere is awesome :-) - Chris

[@kerryosullivan5572]

Great tips!! We found last week when we went that one parent went into the single rider queue and asked at the end of the ride for the parent swap pass for the second parent. It meant a quicker queue for the first person and then the second was able to use the pass.

[@37DisneyStreet]

Great tip x

[@Aylasartchannel]

So first parent goes in the single rider queue. And then the second parent can take a child with them and use the first pass queue?

[@kerryosullivan5572]

@@Aylasartchannel yeah we did something similar; my sister did single rider on parachute drop while I had the kids in studio one waving at Mickey and then she grabbed a pass for two people so I then went on with the eldest and she was with the youngest.

[@EmmaChamp]

Thank you, Lucie! We are taking our (will be) 18 month old and I was a bit worried about standing in the queues with her! We are staying at NPB so will try to use early magic to get a few rides done and then will have to tell myself just to enjoy the experience and not to worry about trying to do everything!

[@37DisneyStreet]

Parent swap, parent swap, parent swap! And relax and enjoy the magic! You’ll have an amazing time 😍

[@Aylasartchannel]

Are you still planning the video on the queues and which are themed and which ones are more boring. Would love to create a plan for rides mixing up the queues.

[@GoemaereD]

Btm has been open in extra magic hours as well for the past months. A must do in the morning hours.

[@37DisneyStreet]

Good to know! Thanks x

[@luciapetrozzi3760]

Love your videos! Full of great advice. We are going to DLP on 24/25 December, so yeah…Xmas! We are first timers at the parks and are worried about queues being over the top because of the timing of the year. Have you ever been there for Christmas? What do you suggest for a family of 4 that hasn’t got access to magic hour and hasn’t got the budget for the pass to skip queues? We are thinking about going to the Studios on 24 and Disneyland park on Xmas day.

[@37DisneyStreet]

We’ve been at new year when it was really busy, and it was still fantastic. Sure you have to be prepared to queue, but the queues have enough going on in most cases to keep it entertaining - the time goes quicker than you expect. The app is pretty accurate for queue times, so use that to give you an idea of where to go next, too. Have an absolutely wonderful time! It’ll be magical to be there on Christmas Day!! - Chris

[@anouksondagh902]

In 2014, my cousin and I went on single rider for hyperspace mountain, and we actually ended up sitting together anyways😂

[@37DisneyStreet]

It’s awesome when that happens!

[@Aylasartchannel]

Video request (although you may not feel comfortable doing it!) My son is learning French what are some key phrases and answers that would be help to know.

[@37DisneyStreet]

Oo, good one! I don’t think it will warrant a whole video, but I’ll certainly add it to my next tips vid with a few suggestions 😊

[@letsbuildwithchris]

Hi, I'd like to know if 1 day in disneyland paris is enough to do 10 rides

[@37DisneyStreet]

It depends on the rides… and whether you planned on eating or not 😝 I’d say it’s definitely possible! But it might not be the most fun day 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@letsbuildwithchris]

@@37DisneyStreet Well I'm going there with my parents in august for my very first time (my parents have already been there 2 times in the early 2000's) and we're thinking between going for 2 days in disney land or going for 1 day in disney land and 1 day in parc asterix.. but because we want to visit both of them we will propably choose the second option and try to schedule our day in disney so we will be satisfied.

[@Zquiker]

not able to eat a hot dog in 15 mins? challenge accepted....

[@smith9808]

I’m planning to go 14 to 18th December. On-site. How busy will it be on Wednesday/ Thursday / Friday as the kids are still at school those days. I’m guessing it will be busy, but will it be like 1-2-3 hour queues?

[@37DisneyStreet]

Crowd predictions are quite a specialised field, so I wouldn’t like to say incase I’m way out. It could depend whether French/ German/ Dutch schools have broken up, as they don’t always have the same holidays we do. I will say, we went mid December (before Christmas week) in 2017 and the queues were very manageable. DLP doesn’t tend to get the 3 hour queues WDW does, and Christmas is SOOO Magical. You’ll have an amazing time x

[@marksimpson9815]

We're going 8/9th so hoping it will be quiet as kids are 100% not off school then

[@Kate-fb9xs]

Fabulous tips again, they are helping me plan. We are surprising my little girl and going in September and can’t wait. Any tips on the princess pavilion? Is it worth the wait if we are booked into dinner with the princesses 👸 x

[@37DisneyStreet]

You 100% should rope drop EMT if you want to do Princess Pavillion. Like, be there at 8:15am, standing right up to the rope in front of the castle and walk directly to the Pavilion as soon as it drops, We’ve done it a few times and it’s the only way to do it without a 75min wait. If you’re doing the ADC meal you’ll meet at least 3 Princesses and it’s possible the ones in the Pavillon will be “duplicates”, so you may want to do meal first… Both experiences are lovely, your daughter will love them 😍

[@marisolprietobellon4801]

If you have the extra hour before the park opens, how early should you go to line up?

[@37DisneyStreet]

I’d check the EMH times for the week of your visit and maybe plan to be there for 20/30 mins beforehand if you want to get in as close to the start as possible. Even if you go down for the start time though, the queue moves pretty quickly and it takes time to get the regular day visitors through the gates, so it’s more like and hour and a half anyway really - C

[@Emrico35]

but to use magic time, we have to wake up very very early, yes? :(

[@37DisneyStreet]

To use Early Magic Hours, you need to be staying in a Disney hotel or be a Gold pass holder. It is early - gates open for EMH at 8:30 and there’s usually a queue, but even if you don’t get there until towards the end, you can get in ahead of the day ticket holders and so the benefit is still there. Just best to get there early if you want to make use of the full time… - Chris

[@Emrico35]

@@37DisneyStreet yes, we're planning to stay in hotel. It sounds good idea to enjoy park after 6-7pm since most people will leave and there wont be much queues as i understand. In summer, sun sets late in paris so I hope we'll have plenty of time to enjoy rides! Thank you! Btw, disney hotel is worth of it? Or newport bay club, santafe are also good? Which disney hotel your favourite? My daughter adores disney princesses, she likes to meet cinderella, rapunzel and aurora so much

[@37DisneyStreet]

When are you going? The parks may get a little quieter in the evenings, but generally the crowds stay busy from opening to close…

[@Emrico35]

we're thinking about 16-21 july. we can go any time between 16 july and 10 august. is august more crowded or calm? july is ok?@@37DisneyStreet
