Over here in the U.K. and Europe the laws are different though. Generally you have to prove your disability or condition. The website is actually very detailed about what proof you need, depending on which type of pass you qualify for and where you are from.The US parks one size fits all approach is an interesting choice also, at Paris they offer different cards with different “perks” (for lack of a better term) based on ability, they‘ve also tightened their standards and it’s very specific what does, and doesn’t, qualify now, our first 3 trips we got the card (with doctors note) but this year they said the medical condition didn‘t meet the newer requirements and we were denied.
Despite being denied I still feel Paris has a better process, they even have a webpage specifically explaining the program, we just didn’t check it since we’d used the system a few years ago without issue.
And the two types of passes give different accommodations in the parks.
This is the overview.
What is a Priority Card and am I eligible?
A Priority Card gives priority (but non-immediate) access to attractions, shows, parades, Selfie spots, restaurant and shop checkouts. With an official document proving disability accepted by Disneyland Paris, you and an accompanying person are also entitled to a 25% discount on your Park Ticket or Disneyland Pass.Request your Priority Card upon arrival, or save time by requesting your card online up to 1 month before your visit! You'll need to present an original document issued by the government or medical authority upon arrival in order to collect it. Please note, a medical certificate will not be sufficient.
What is an Easy Access Card and am I eligible?
If you have a recognised Long Term Chronic Disease, we can support you with simplified (but non-immediate) access to our attractions. Present your Easy Access Card and 'appointment book' at an attraction, and we'll give you a timeslot during which to come back and ride. You can make a 2nd reservation when the 1st is over.To get your easy Access Card on your arrival day, you’ll need an original certificate In French or English. It must be dated no more than three months previously and signed by a medical doctor stating that you’re affected by one of the 30 long term chronic diseases, without any indication of the disease concerned. You can find the list of Long Term Chronic Diseases here.
