The ride was definitely fun and a cool departure from the versions in the US parks, although there are a few things I don’t like about it. The seats are really hard to get into and it’s crazy shaky. My brains felt like soup afterward. I thought since it wasn’t as old as the other Space Mountains that it would be a little smoother but it actually was pretty rough.
Also, the sound effects weren’t working in our car so we didn’t get the full Hyperspace experience. Also also my hair got caught in the seat and ripped out when I tried to exit. So not an amazing first ride, but not the worst.
That sucks about the music and hair pulling! I did like the ride, though could only stand 2x in a row! I felt better on it than I do on RnRC, though that could have also been Star Wars helping encourage me!
Oh my goodness guys. BTMRR at DLP might be my favorite Disney ride ever. I think it even beat my current fave, Expedition Everest. It’s fast and thrilling and such a long ride.
It is pretty awesome! In my top 10 rides for sure!
I’m secretly glad of the Disneyland upgrade and I hope it reopens as Snow White’s Not So Scary Adventure.
Yup, me too! (I had a traumatic experience when the ride broke down while I was alone, in the scary forest, in the dark and noises continuing for several minutes. Not fun. P.S. I was 30 at that time)
I thought it was interesting that there were some families who waited in line for the restaurant to open, then got turned away because they didn’t have reservations. But the restaurant was almost empty so there was definitely room for them. Maybe they were just making reservations for later? IDK.
I can never understand DLP food operations!
We got an awesome spot right in front of the platform where Mickey, Minnie, and Louie hang out and waited about 25 minutes for the show to start.
Great photo!
The queue wasn’t too long but this big family kept trying to subtly push in front of us. Jon and I teamed up and spanned the width of the walkways so they wouldn’t be able to cut. But wouldn’t you know it, we all got put on the same boat together and the patriarch of said family had his FLASH LIGHT on for like 1/3 of the ride.
Not just taking flash photos, but his actual flash light on his phone. On. All the way.
Ugh.
Oh well. If I remember right, that was one of the worst guest interactions we had and it really wasn’t all that bad, just annoying.
Same thing happened to me in Pirates. That queue is just too wide. I actually grabbed the dad on his shoulder and yelled at him, which made him and his family sheepishly go back behind me!
(Oh and I accidentally deleted the quote - but Peter Pan is basically the same as the US parks. Except the ship has 2 rows instead of 1.)
The sky matches the castle!
Dad still had his daughter on his shoulders when the show started so Selfie Stick Man used his superior intellect and found a way to record the show anyway- by extending his selfie stick to maximum length above everyone’s head.
Welcome to Disneyland Paris, I hope you like watching things through other people’s phone screens.
Stuff like this really gets to me, man. I’m all about capturing vacation memories (I mean you guys have seen how many photos I take), but I do my best to keep my camera/phone within the frame of my own body. If I do have to raise it up, I try to get my shot then bring it right back down. Plus, there are actual professional vloggers who have much better video footage available FOR FREE on YouTube.
Seriously!!! I get taking a few photos. Or if you really want video, sure. But don't infringe on someone else's view! Someone tried to use a selfie stick with their phone on flash mode inside the Mickey and the Magician theatre! And they were in the 3rd row! Luckily they were pretty obvious so a CM came over and stopped them.
I feel the need to mention that the American Embassy joke is not my own, but was too good not to share.
It is pretty hilarious! And true, unfortunately!

At least you are guys are still young and can find someone else now...
