Out with the old and in with the new — Free FastPasses are a thing of the past at Disneyland Paris as Premier Access, the new paid FastPass system, has officially launched inside the theme parks.

In case you weren’t aware, Disneyland Paris announced in July that it would be retiring its free FastPass system and, instead, implementing a new paid system called Premier Access — and today, that system is now in use.

DLP Report even shared photos of new signage that was recently installed to remind Guests of the new system:

Disney Premier Access signs explaining the product have been installed at Attraction entrances:

This new system is charging Guests anywhere from €8-€15, which is around $9-$18, per ride at the theme park. The pricing varies depending on popularity. For example, more popular and E-ticket attractions may cost more than those rides that do not typically have a long line or such high demand.

It also looks like the prices for each attraction may change depending on what the time of year is. For example, if you visit Disneyland Paris during the peak seasons, Premier Access may cost more.

The only other Disney Park that currently offers a Premier Access system is Shanghai Disney.

FastPass+ at Walt Disney World Resort and FASTPASS/MaxPass at Disneyland Resort remain suspended as a result of operational changes amid the ongoing pandemic.
