Disneyland Paris Introduces Standby Passes

by Melissa Roden · January 28, 2021

We’ve got some interesting news out of Disneyland Paris. The European theme parks have implemented a brand new Standby Pass system that is designed to cut back on the amount of time guests will spend in line during busier times of the day. This is being done to ensure safe physical distancing. Under the new policy, guests will need to reserve a Standby Pass in order to enjoy some of the parks most popular attractions.

What Are Standby Passes?

Under the new system, guests will need to reserve a Standby Pass to be able to join the queue for some of Disneyland Paris’ most popular attractions. You’ll get an allocated 30-minute time slot.

How Does The System Work?

Start by downloading the FREE Disneyland Paris app via the App Store or Google Play
Create or log into your Disney account.
Link your Park Tickets or Passes to your account.
Once you enter the parks you can choose an attraction and reserve a Standby Pass for it. Passes can be reserved for EACH person that wishes to ride. You will be allocated the next available time slot.
Once its time, arrive at the attraction entrance and present your Standby Pass QR code.
Join the queue and get ready to ride!

How Will You Know If You Need To Reserve a Standby Pass?

A list of rides requiring Standby Passes will be listed on the official Disneyland Paris mobile app. You will also see signage at the entrance of the attractions where passes are required. For those attractions that aren’t part of the Standby Pass process you can hop in line and enjoy those rides as normal!

PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN ADDS NEW MAGIC AT DISNEYLAND (Anaheim, Calif.) – The original Pirates of the Caribbean attraction, which inspired a global phenomenon and launched a highly popular film franchise, adds new magic in 2018 with an updated scene. Familiar to those who have visited Walt Disney World and Disneyland Paris, guests sail into a new scene that features a pirate auctioneer overseeing a sale of the townspeople’s most prized possessions and goods. The familiar redheaded figure, known as Redd, switches sides to become a pirate and pillages the town’s rum supply. (Joshua Sudock/Disneyland Resort)

A Few More Things You Need To Know

The Standby Pass service will only be activated during certain periods of the day in order to help reduce wait times for certain attractions. You can still queue for these attractions without a Standby Pass at the beginning and at the end of the day (times may vary).
You can only reserve one Standby Pass at a time, from 5 minutes after entering the Disney Parks.
When your allocated time slot has begun, you may reserve a Standby Pass for another attraction.
It is not possible to cancel or transfer a Standby Pass.
Quick Tip: To manage your Standby Passes easily during the day, you can link all the Tickets and Passes for each member of your group to a single Disney account.
