However, unless you’re a diehard Disney fan in search of the classics, don’t expect your mind to be blown in or out of the parks: Only Marvel brings anything particularly new to the table. Staff, though helpful, seem under pressure and barely smile. And without the FastPass system (discontinued), lines can be horrifically long (I’m talking 110 minutes, at one point during our visit, for Crush’s Coaster; click here for more on the new system). And don’t get me started on the noise: With hundreds crammed into snaking spaces, the decibel levels were so high there were times we couldn’t hear the piped-in ambiance music on rides (like the haunted house) where sound is a big part of the experience. If you’re an huge Disney fan, you may still find some enjoyment. But if you’re not, see Parc Astérix, where you get the theme park thrills in a much more pleasant environment—plus a bit of French culture for good measure.
