Which rides are actually worth Premier Access?

How Premier Access actually works at Disneyland Paris

Disneyland Paris sells two different things and they are easy to confuse. Premier Access One is à la carte: you buy one attraction, for one person, for one return window, at a price the resort sets by date and demand. Premier Access Ultimate is a day product covering one skip on each eligible attraction. Ultimate only wins if your party will genuinely ride most of the list in a single day — for the majority of first-time American visitors, two or three well-chosen Premier Access One purchases cost far less and solve the same problem.

The rides where it earns its money are the slow-loading ones, not the scary ones. Crush's Coaster seats four people per car and exists nowhere else on earth; Peter Pan's Flight loads two at a time and has no height rule at all. Those two build waits that a big coaster never will. And because Disneyland Paris measures in centimetres and enforces it, check every height rule against your actual children before you buy anything — Premier Access is priced per person, and there is no refund for a child who cannot ride.
