Extra Magic Time

Important caveat: at Disneyland Paris, a 8 AM window almost always falls inside Extra Magic Time, the early entry of roughly one hour reserved for Disney hotel guests and a few partner offers. If you don't have access, the parks open to the public around 9:30 AM (Disneyland Park) or 10 AM (Disney Adventure World), and the line at Autopia, presented by Avis climbs fast in the twenty minutes that follow. Aim to be at the public rope drop to recover part of the edge.
