My 17 yr old daughter and I are taking a trip to Paris in June. One of our possible excursions would be a day trip to Disneyland. We love roller coasters and will skip most of the classic rides like Peter Pan and Small World. Open to any and all tips. I want to hit as much as possible, but not sure if I want to pay for the premier pass (though I could do individual ride payments, but saw a rumor today they're going to do a blanket one for 90 euros? That seems really high).
I am thinking of going on Wednesday, June 8th. We arrive on the 6th in Paris. Hopefully this won't be too busy of a day.
In Studios, this is what I've picked out, and some notes:
RNR is a favorite at WDW, so if we would have time, we'd ride that one, but want to focus on things we haven't done before or that are different than WDW.
In Disneyland:
I suppose the thing I'm having trouble with is how long to spend at studios before switching parks. Or should we start in Disneyland? We don't really care about food so will pick up quick service somewhere (suggestions welcome, but we won't worry too much about it)
The only time I've been to Disneyland Paris was in 2017, I ran a 5K and 10K there. So I ran through the park, but didn't go there after the race.

Walt Disney Studios | Notes |
Ratatouille: The Adventure | Flagship ride |
Crush’s Coaster | Fun, but long lines |
CineMagique | Apparently great tram tour with special effects |
RC Racer | Fun ride |
Rock ‘n’ Rollercoaster Starring Aerosmith | Like the one in WDW, but do it if you have time |

In Disneyland:
Disneyland | Notes |
Pirates of the Caribbean | Different than WDW's |
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad | Better than WDW's |
Hyperspace Mountain | Star Wars themed space mountain but a rough ride |
Phantom Manor | "Must do" but the story is in French |
La Tanière du Dragon | The dragon under the castle. Just a walk by if you have time |
La Galerie de la Belle au Bois Dormant | Walkthrough of the castle; apparently cool stuff inside |
Star Tours: The Adventures Continue | Similar to WDW's |
Les Mystères du Nautilus | Walk through of 20,000 leagues under the sea |
Buzz Lightyear Laser Blast | Better than WDW's |
Indiana Jones et le Temple du Péril | Short coaster, but skippable if no time |
Le Passage Enchanté d’Aladdin | Quick walk through if you have time |
Alice’s Curious Labyrinth | Good place to waste time with pretty views |
