Disney Premier Access is the paid fast track service at Disneyland Paris. It replaced the old FastPass, which was free. Since FastPass ended, there’s no free fast track any more, but a few free tips still help you cut your queue time.
There are two options: One (a single ride, from €5) and Ultimate (all eligible rides). Prices change every day depending on crowd levels.

What is Disney Premier Access?
Disney Premier Access is a paid service. It gives you access to a dedicated queue on the most popular rides.
You pay, you go through a separate entrance and you wait far less than in the regular queue.
Disneyland Paris used to offer FastPass. It was a free fast track, discontinued in 2021.
Since then, there’s been no free fast track. Premier Access is paid. Disneyland Paris also offers other services, paid or included, that don’t let you skip the queue. This table helps you tell them apart.
| Service | Paid? | What it’s for |
|---|---|---|
| Premier Access | Paid | Use a dedicated, shorter queue on one or more rides. |
| Guaranteed Access | Paid | A guaranteed place at an indoor show, even when it’s full. |
| Reserved viewing area | Paid | A reserved area with a good view for parades and outdoor shows. |
| Extra Magic Time | Included (Disney hotels and Disneyland Pass Gold) | The parks open about an hour before everyone else. Nothing to do with Premier Access. |

Is Premier Access worth it?
Premier Access is worth it on busy days and on the big rides. On quiet days, it adds almost nothing.
It’s most useful during the holidays and at weekends, on rides where the queue often goes past an hour, like Crush’s Coaster or Peter Pan’s Flight. On a quiet day or on a ride with a high capacity, you won’t wait long anyway.
Quick quiz Is Premier Access worth it for you?
A few questions, and I’ll tell you whether Premier Access is worth it for your visit, and which one.
To get started, the three scenarios:
The free tips
Arrive at opening time and make the most of Single Rider: on a quiet day or a long stay, you’ll do the essentials without paying.
Premier Access One
from €5
A fast track for one ride, to use on your top favourites.
Premier Access Ultimate
from €110/person
A fast track for all the eligible rides, to do everything back to back on a very busy day.

For a short first visit (1 or 2 days), one or two One passes on the headline rides can really save you time.
With 3 days or more, you have time to do everything without paying. For a large family, the costs add up fast: a few well-chosen One passes are a better bet than Ultimate for everyone.
My verdict: I keep it for really busy days and for rides where the regular queue becomes off-putting. The rest of the time, a little planning is enough.
Ride by ride
In detail, it all depends on the ride. Here are the ones where Premier Access really saves you time, and the ones where you can keep your money for something else.
| Worth it | Why |
|---|---|
| Big Thunder Mountain | Very popular coaster, long queues all day. |
| Peter Pan’s Flight | The most popular dark ride, with a long queue all day. |
| Star Wars Hyperspace Mountain | Skips the whole outdoor queue. Single Rider available. |
| Star Tours | The fast lane starts just before boarding. |
| Buzz Lightyear Laser Blast | Average capacity, the queue builds quickly. |
| Autopia | Low capacity, very popular with families. |
| Crush’s Coaster | Often the longest queue in the park. Single Rider available. |
| Ratatouille | Low to average capacity, very family-friendly. Single Rider available. |
| Spider-Man W.E.B. Adventure | Popular new ride, long queues. Single Rider available. |
| Tower of Terror | Depends on the day, especially if not all the lifts are running. |
| Frozen Ever After | The headline ride of World of Frozen, in high demand. Single Rider available. |
The rides where the fast track really saves time: target these first.
| Rarely useful | Why, and the free alternative |
|---|---|
| Indiana Jones and the Temple of Peril | Short to moderate queue. The free Single Rider is enough. |
| it’s a small world | Very high capacity. Arrive early or go in the evening. |
| Phantom Manor | Moderate queue, especially quiet in the evening. |
| Pirates of the Caribbean | Often quiet in the evening. |
| Orbitron | Few people in the evening. Available with One only. |
| Avengers Flight Force | Fast-moving queue. The free Single Rider is enough. |
| Cars ROAD TRIP | Often quiet, short queue. |
| Raiponce Tangled Spin | Small ride, the queue stays short. |
Here, keep your money: the queue is short or a free tip is enough.

Free alternatives to the fast track
- Single Rider the solo queue, on some rides. You agree to be split from your group and you get on much faster. It’s free.
- Arrive at opening time the first hours are the quietest. Head for the big rides first thing in the morning.
- Aim for quieter times during meals, parades and the evening show, the queues empty out.
- Pick a quiet day outside the holidays and weekends, queues are much shorter everywhere.
- I cover all these tips in detail in my queue guide.
My tips
- Check the price for your date before you book.
- Create your account on the Disneyland Paris app before your visit and link your tickets to it.
- Check your child’s height before buying a One: it’s neither refundable nor exchangeable.
- Look at the expected crowd levels. On a quiet day, you probably won’t need it.
- Target the big popular rides, where the time saved is clearest.
- For Frozen Ever After and Ratatouille, buy your One in the morning: it often sells out in the afternoon.

Frequently asked questions
01 Is Disney Premier Access a paid service?
Yes. It’s a paid service that gives you a dedicated queue on certain rides. It replaced FastPass, which was free and no longer exists.
02 What’s the difference between Premier Access One and Ultimate?
One gives you a single ride on one attraction, at a set time slot. Ultimate gives you one ride on every eligible attraction during the day, with no time slot, each one once. One is bought ride by ride, Ultimate as a day pass, subject to availability.
03 Do children need their own Premier Access?
Yes. Everyone over 3 must have their own to use the dedicated queue.
04 Is Premier Access refundable?
No. Neither One nor Ultimate is refundable or exchangeable, and they’re in your name. Check the height requirement carefully before buying a One for a child.
05 Is there a free fast track at Disneyland Paris?
No, there’s no free fast track any more since FastPass ended in 2021. Today, only Premier Access lets you cut your wait, and it’s paid. There are still free ways to save time: arrive at opening, head for the big rides first, use Single Rider where available and ride during a parade or a show, when the queues empty.
06 Is Premier Access worth it on a first visit?
It depends on the day. Premier Access is paid on top of your ticket, from €5 per ride and per go, and the price climbs on busy days. On busy days (French school holidays, weekends, the Halloween and Christmas seasons) and on the big rides where the wait often goes over an hour, it’s worth it on one or two very popular rides. On a quiet day, it isn’t essential: if you arrive at opening time and follow a logical order, you won’t queue much without paying anything. You buy it in the official app, on the day for Premier Access One. Premier Access Ultimate can also be bought in advance. All the details are in my Premier Access guide.
