What rides have the longest wait times at Disneyland Paris?

  • Buzz Lightyear Laser Blast.
  • Disneyland Railroad Discoveryland Station.
  • Disneyland Railroad Main Street Station.
  • Indiana Jones et le Temple du Péril.
  • Meet Mickey Mouse (during scheduled times)
  • Orbitron - Machines Volantes.
  • The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror.
  • Les Voyages de Pinocchio.




At Disneyland Paris, the longest wait times are consistently found at Crush’s Coaster in Walt Disney Studios Park, which frequently sees queues of 70 to 120 minutes due to its low loading capacity and immense popularity. Following close behind is Spider-Man W.E.B. Adventure in the Marvel Avengers Campus, which often stays above 60 minutes. In the main Disneyland Park, Big Thunder Mountain and Peter Pan’s Flight are the "Big Two" for long lines, usually ranging from 45 to 90 minutes. Interestingly, since the opening of the Frozen themed land in March 2026, the new attractions there have seen record-breaking waits, sometimes exceeding 150 minutes during peak hours. To avoid these, guests often use "Disney Premier Access" (a paid skip-the-line service) or take advantage of "Extra Magic Time" if staying at a Disney hotel. Smaller classic rides like Phantom Manor or Pirates of the Caribbean usually maintain more manageable waits of 15 to 30 minutes.

The line stays long throughout the day, but mornings are the worst. I recommend checking wait times of Rise of the Resistance, using the official Disneyland app to determine when to go on Rise. Check around lunch time and if it's under 60 minutes go for it. The wait time will not get shorter.
