My Tips for Enjoying Extra Magic Time
Here are my best tips to make the most of Extra Magic Time at Disneyland Paris:
- Wake up early: Extra Magic Time usually starts at 8:00 or 8:30 a.m., so make sure to be at the park gates at that time to not miss anything.
- Start with your favorite attraction: Use this time to experience the ride you’ve been dreaming of with shorter wait times.
- Do Big Thunder Mountain or Peter Pan’s Flight first: These popular attractions are perfect to enjoy early in the morning before the crowds arrive.
- Avoid Crush’s Coaster: Many visitors will have the same idea, and you may end up spending almost all your Extra Magic Time in line.
- Enjoy the calm atmosphere of the park: At this time, the park is quieter, so you can stroll around, take some photos, or even have breakfast on a terrace, like on Main Street U.S.A., without the crowds around.
