Disney Paris - Premier access pass help, also take buggy or rent one?

[VillageFete]

Hi,

3 adults, a 12 year old and a 3 year old going to Disney Paris on Wednesday, unfortunately not staying in a Disney Hotel.

We have tickets for both parks on Thursday and Friday.

Really torn on what to do regarding access passes. I really don’t fancy queuing for ages with a 3 year old in unbearable heat. Do we go for the premier access ultimate passes for 1 day, are they worth it? I know you can only use it on each ride once, but at least we’d definitely get to do them with this pass without huge queues?

Or are we better paying as we go and using the premier access once passes? I don’t understand the time slots though, are you given an EXACT time you have to come back? What if we are on another ride at that time?!!

Regarding a buggy, are they easy enough to hire? We would prefer not to take one as we didn’t want hold luggage. Toddler is a decent walker and we will take reins but under absolutely no illusion that we will need a buggy in the park for the full day.

Take a buggy. We would not have coped with our 3yo without one. The ones you rent are 25 euros a day and don’t look particularly comfy. My 3yo doesn’t nap normally but had at least 2 hours in the buggy every day we were there. She was knackered. Also with the travel disruption we wouldn’t have coped without one- don’t just think about the park.

I wouldn’t do the ultimate but pay as you go as there are rides in there you might not want to all do. Might be better for the 12 year old to do some premier access passes for bigger rides individually. Also look at parent swap.
