Disneyland Paris Crowds

My husband and kids are excited to do Disney Paris, but I am not a long line person. Does anyone know what kind of crowds are to be expected mid-June, for example how long a wait for the rides? We are thinking of going on June 19th, a Thursday.
I've seen crowd-calendars for Disneyland in anaheim but couldn't find one for Paris.

I love California Disneyland mid-week in the spring when there's never longer than a 5-15 minute wait for rides. Any chance of short lines, or should I send hubby and the kids off by themselves?

Disneyland Paris, is always crowded year-round. It doesn't really have an off-season like the parks in Anaheim or Orlando do. Last time I was at DL Paris, was on a cold February day mid-week, and the place was packed with long lines at most all attractions. In fact most days during the summer they have stop admitting people by early afternoon when the parks reach capacity.

Michael, really? We were there late April and the lines were short, some were walk on. The Studios were dead, so we left, and stayed at the DLRP resort.

Emily, June is going to be busy so take advantage of the Fast Pass. If you're not going to do rides, you can be the keeper of the pass, and while they're on the ride, you hop ahead and get a F.P. for another ride.

You must go to their Haunted Mansion... its not like DLR's or WDW!

I dont think they have as many "Fast Pass" rides like they do in Anaheim/Orlando. I was at Disneyland Paris July 2005, the longest line we waited in was for the AUTOPIA (not worth the wait!) but we walked right on the other rides. I live near Disneyland (Annual Pass holder) and I think the best things at Paris Disney were the Haunted Mansion, Pirates of the Carribean (smile---- takes your picture on the ride unlike the other parks), and the Dragon in the castle. If you go on "Youttube" and type in "Disneyland Paris" they have videos of different rides at the park.

Hey Carol, I wonder if I have seen you at DLR! I'm an APHer at DLR and WDW too!! LOL!!!

Emily, you should also take a picture of their small world marquee, and their castle. Each castle is different (ie: DLR, DLRP, etc.)

My memories of Euro Disney include the lack of benches/seats when you get hot/tired and the lack of drinking fountains. Bu we were there that summer that many people died from the heat so it may not be a problem if the weather isn't so extreme.

Emily, I just thought about your visit, and realized that i'll be there... but on Saturday June 28, a little over a week from you.

I got my ticket online and saved 10% off a 1 day park hopper. You print it online and even though I picked the 28th, I have 30 days from the printed day to use it.

We don't plan on going on all the rides... just the ones that are different than WDW and DLR.

Just got back from a trip to Paris and was at DLRP on Monday. There were no crowds and most rides were 5 min. wait. I'm sure it's different in June when school is out. I'm posting trip reports, look for my Monday 19th one.
