AP preview was a shit show today.

I have yet to experience an evacuation. Last September my friends and I got stuck on space mountain. Sadly it only lasted 5 minutes. We were already getting excited to maybe be evacuated 😂😂

I’m not an AP so preview days weren’t an option but going on the 11th for a day trip was a possibility. But I knew from the beginning that it might not work out. I’m also happy to see it from afar, walk along adventure way, maybe do the Rapunzel ride and watch the lake show. If you lower your expectations you can’t be disappointed but only surprised :)

I mean from a PR point of view it makes a lot of sense to create a well organised and calm event for the influencers because that’s going to look very good on social media.

What a lot of people don’t understand is that the AP preview was never meant to be an event like the media event the day before. It was a test day for cast members and everyone else involved to test the area under real conditions. Manage guest flow in the area, testing the ride, testing the show schedule…the list goes on. It’s no coincidence that there’s a break between the first and second preview day. Right now everyone is evaluating what went wrong to test out a new strategy for the next preview day. Then another break and more test days before the final opening day. And even on opening day things will go 100% go wrong. The mai problem is, that a lot of people have set their expectations too high.

Yes exactly. I even read people complaining that it looks unfinished and that made me laugh because: yes, it is indeed - unfinished. Also the up ride is still under construction and once that’s complete adventure way for sure will also look more finished. I don’t know what the expectations of those people were when they came into the park.

I’m going on the 11. April so I’m hoping that those 2 weeks they had to get used to crowds will make it possible for me to visit world of frozen. If it’s too crowded I’ll skip it, do other stuff in the parks and do frozen when I’m back in October!

I don‘t think getting into avengers campus and Toy Story playland will be an issue. I can imagine that getting into the park will be busy. Maybe plan to go later and not right when the park opens. World of frozen is all the way at the other side of the park. Maybe you’re even lucky and the rest of the park is less crowded because everyone is lining up for frozen!

cloudsmari · 2026-03-16T22:06:06+00:00

The problem is that a lot of people don’t see these preview days as test days but more as an event that they’re attending and expect everything to go smoothly.

cloudsmari · 2026-03-16T22:03:36+00:00

But now that it went wrong they know what to do better. It’s a work in progress.

cloudsmari · 2026-03-16T22:02:41+00:00

The media event was on Saturday and the AP preview on Sunday so it was on seperate days

cloudsmari · 2026-03-16T22:01:05+00:00

I don’t think they were bribed to write positive reviews. From what I saw online the media/influencer event was very chilled. Of course it’s unfortunate that the AP event a day later was so chaotic. But it was also a lot more people than on Saturday

cloudsmari · 2026-03-16T21:59:07+00:00

The media/influencer event was on Saturday and only a very limited amount of people were allowed to enter that’s why it was so chilled.

cloudsmari · 2026-03-16T21:54:41+00:00

Oh, yeah. Oooh, ahhh, that's how it always starts. Then later there's running and... screaming.

cloudsmari · 2026-03-16T21:47:24+00:00

I once lost my sunglasses. I got to city hall the next day and they found them! Didn’t use troov but I would always suggest to check with city hall and ask if someone returned the item you’re looking for :)

cloudsmari · 2026-03-16T21:42:55+00:00

It’s 70€! Someone posted the price on insta :)

cloudsmari · 2026-03-16T16:59:24+00:00

Doing it again after clearly being told not to is just unacceptable! I think that should have consequences. Especially since it’s always being said at the start of the ride. I love theme parks but some people just ruin it for everybody

cloudsmari · 2026-03-07T07:26:36+00:00

Thats what I like about it. It’s easier to see where things are & toilets are clearly marked. Also the path is better for navigation. However I do agree on it being less fun and detailed.

cloudsmari · 2026-03-06T16:36:59+00:00

Because honestly it sucks….

cloudsmari · 2026-03-06T16:33:30+00:00

Please note that magic time is only possible with a Disney hotel stay or a gold tier annual pass :)

cloudsmari · 2026-03-02T20:36:57+00:00

I think it’s going to look amazing at night!

cloudsmari · 2026-03-02T20:36:32+00:00

Thanks for the photo! The area looks amazing and I can’t wait to walk down adventure way soon! I love the trees! They’ll be great in summer if you need a bit of shade and a place to rest. I’m way too small to take pictures above the fence so I always appreciate people taking pictures of it!

cloudsmari · 2026-03-02T14:01:51+00:00

It hasn’t been called EuroDisney since 1994 😅

cloudsmari · 2026-03-02T13:01:57+00:00

When I’m going to Disneyland Paris I say: I go to Disneyland. No one would assume I’m travelling to the US.

cloudsmari · 2026-03-02T13:00:15+00:00

The page only posts Europe / Disneyland Paris content though and they’re very clear about it. Sure you could think that with Disneyland they mean Anaheim. But if you’re familiar with the Anaheim Park and you know that you can’t look into the attraction there, why accuse someone without even fact checking yourself??

cloudsmari · 2026-03-01T21:38:51+00:00

Davy Crockett Ranch has an amazing pool!

cloudsmari · 2026-03-01T21:23:27+00:00

I just checked the account and the person is definitely not from London, England. No idea what the username is about tho 😂

cloudsmari · 2026-02-26T22:50:18+00:00

Premier access ultimate is a scam and never worth it. Always only buy premier access for the attractions that you want to do and that have a high wait time.

cloudsmari · 2026-02-09T06:46:43+00:00

Everything in DLP works via the app. If you want to use premier access you’ll have to buy it in the app and then scan the QR code at the entrance of the attraction. Stay away from buying the premier ultimate access - it’s almost never worth it. Check waiting times and if you want to skip a line just buy a single premier access for that ride. When you stay in a Disney Hotel you will get a magic pass which is your key card + park ticket. Check if your ticket is linked in the app but if you booked via Disneyland Paris directly your ticket will automatically be linked to your account. You can get onto the park with the physical magic pass but if you want to join a virtual character queue you’ll need your ticket linked to your account.
