Disneyland Paris offers one of the best accessibility programs in the world for people with disabilities or disabling illnesses. However, the operation of access cards (Priority Card and Facilitation Card) is very strict and completely different from the American DAS system. Here is our complete guide to understanding your rights and taking your steps in 2026.
- ✦ Priority Card: For officially recognized disabilities (immediate skip-the-line)
- ✦ Facility Card: For chronic disabling illnesses (appointment system)
- ✦ Online request: Must be done on the official website from D-30 to D-2
- ✦ Companions: Up to 4 people authorized with the card holder
- ✦ Supporting documents: Extremely strict official list (no exceptions possible)
- ✦ WDW difference: No prior video interview, everything is done on documents
Updated May 2026. Accessibility to Disneyland Paris is a precious right. We decipher for you the administrative procedure, often intimidating, and the rules on the ground to guarantee you a peaceful and stress-free stay.
Make your request online in advance and bring official proof appearing EXACTLY on the Disneyland Paris list.
Unlike Walt Disney World where a simple verbal declaration is sufficient (DAS system), Disneyland Paris requires official written proof (disability card, specific medical certificate less than 3 months old, etc.) under penalty of categorical refusal.
1. The 2 Disneyland Paris Accessibility Maps
Depending on your medical or administrative situation, Disneyland Paris will assign you one of the following two cards.
1. The Priority Card: Intended for visitors with disabilities (physical, mental, sensory disability, autism, etc.). It provides priority access (skip the line) to almost all attractions, shows, and character encounters for the holder and up to 4 companions.
2. The Easy Access Card: Intended for visitors suffering from listed chronic or disabling illnesses (respiratory failure, cardiac failure, heavy treatment, etc.). It doesn't give immediate access but works on an appointment system: you go to the attraction, a cast member gives you a return time based on the actual wait time, and you wait comfortably elsewhere.
| Characteristic | Priority Card | Facility Card |
|---|---|---|
| Access type | Immediate priority (special queue) | Deferred waiting time (appointment) |
| Number of accompanying persons | Up to 4 people | Up to 4 people |
| Proof required | Official government document | Official signed medical certificate |
| Presence of the holder | Mandatory at each attraction | Mandatory at each attraction |
2. How to apply? Supporting documents and procedure 2026
The procedure is rigorous and must be prepared before your stay to save time at the parks.
Step 1: The online request (D-30 to D-2): Connect to the official Disneyland Paris website in the accessibility section. Complete the form and upload your photo as well as your official supporting document.
Step 2: Collection on site: Go to the dedicated counters at the entrance to the parks, at the reception desk of your Disney hotel, or at the City Hall (Disneyland Park) / Studio Services (Disney Adventure World). Present the original of your official proof. Your physical card will be given to you immediately.
Pay attention to the validity of the supporting documents!
The list of accepted supporting documents is strict: mobility inclusion card (CMI) mentioning disability or priority, European parking card, or for the facilitated card, an original medical certificate signed and stamped by a doctor dating less than 3 months specifying the pathology among the 30 ALDs (Long-Term Conditions). No other document (such as a simple prescription) will be accepted.
3. Crucial differences from Walt Disney World's DAS system
If you're familiar with the Disability Access Service (DAS) system at Walt Disney World in Orlando, you should pay attention to these major differences.
1. Nature of proof:In Orlando, American law (ADA) prohibits requesting written proof of disability: everything is based on an oral videoconference interview with a Cast Member. In Paris, French law allows the requirement for official written proof. No pass will be granted to you based on a simple verbal declaration.
2. Use:The Parisian Priority Card is much more generous than the DAS. It allows almost instantaneous passage through skip-the-line or service access, whereas the American DAS systematically requires you to wait the equivalent of the waiting time for the attraction outside before being able to board.
