All the shows are included in your ticket price for Disneyland Paris but you may notice that the website and app to offer for you to pay in advance to reserve seats for the shows. Whether this something you should consider will depend on your individual circumstances, but in general the answer is usually no, especially if you have a priority pass. 

So why shouldn't you pay?

• The theatres have a large capacity, so it is not usually hard to get a space
• Even without a priority pass you can usually get into a show as long as you turn up around 30 minutes before
• Priority pass holders, plus up to 4 companions, are let into the theatres before those who have paid anyway

But when might you consider it?

• If you don't have a priority pass, and want to be able to get in before, and queue separately to the main queue
• If you are a larger party and want to be able to enter together, but this would then be particularly costly. In this case as paid for access is let in straight after priority it is likely that if you just paid for any additional people they would be able to find you and get a spot with you if they came in slightly after
• You have very limited time and are visiting on a very busy day so want reassurance you will definitely get into the show of your choosing

Special Note about the Frozen Show

The Frozen show is a bit of an exception to the above. The theatre is not really a theatre and is much much smaller, and Frozen is very popular. The queues for this show are often full even before the show before has entered and even with a priority pass you may need to be there over an hour before the show starts. While this show is not as highly rated as the others, if this one is a priority for you then this may be worth considering the paid for access to be able to guarantee access and reduce queueing.
