Important Information

These cards are issued based on the information you provide. It is vital this information is accurate, as it is used to determine possible access restrictions, thereby also determining your safety and that of your helper(s). Disneyland® Paris cannot be held liable if you provide inaccurate information when applying for an Access Card. 

These cards are strictly personal, and you may be asked for proof of identity. Access cards remain the property of Disneyland® Paris and can be withdrawn if misused. If you, as the cardholder, are not going on an attraction, your helper(s) must join the standard queue. We cannot guarantee you will be eligible for one of these cards.

All helpers must be present at the time the card is issued. 

Helpers must include 1 able-bodied adult (aged 18 or over) who is capable of helping you, if you have:

*At certain attractions, several guests with this type of disability can be accompanied by just one helper. 

For safety reasons, some of the attractions can only accept one disabled guest at a time. See the specific details of each attraction. 

If the cardholder is not going on the attraction, the helper(s) must join the standard queue.

Carers Policy

Disneyland Paris Carers Policy

Disneyland Paris offers free Park tickets for the carers of disabled guests who require a carer to accompany them on their visit.

To claim your free tickets, you will need to present proof of the disabled person's requirement for a carer when you check in at hotel reception. If the guest cannot provide the necessary proof at this time they will have to pay for their tickets.

The companion will receive free entrance to the Parks when the disabled guest has a valid ticket and can provide one of the following:

European disabled parking card

Medical certificate in French or English issued in the last 3 months signed and stamped by the doctor, certifying the person’s disability and stating that they need to be accompanied by a third party in order to get around.

The companion must be a non-disabled adult.

Guests under 3 years old do not require Park tickets and therefore will not receive free tickets for a carer.

Expectant Mothers

Disneyland® Paris offers expectant mothers easy access to attractions under certain conditions. 

When you arrive at the Disney® Parks, go to the Donald Desk, City Hall or Studio Services along with your helper(s). A Cast Member (Disneyland® Paris employee) will give you all the information you need about accessibility around the Parks, and will issue an Easy Access Card, if appropriate. The Easy Access Card allows you to be accompanied by up to 4 helpers. 

A timed reservation system has been introduced at all attractions in the Disney® Parks to make things easier for you and your helper(s). Simply show your Easy Access Card to a Cast Member at the attraction entrance and he/she will give you a specific time at which to return. A second reservation can only be made once the first one has expired. 

You will need a medical certificate in order to be issued with an Easy Access Card. Full details can be found on the Disneyland® Park and Walt Disney Studios® Park Accessibility Maps.
