What is the priority card?
The priority card is designed to improve accessibility at Disneyland Paris for visitors with disabilities.
It aims to provide the most inclusive experience possible by allowing quicker and, above all, easier access to attractions, shows, parades, and character meet-and-greets, depending on the type of disability.
In addition to facilitating access, the priority card also offers a 25% discount for the visitor with a disability and the companion of their choice.
Is the priority card suitable for your situation?
The priority card is only available for visitors with disabilities who hold a mobility inclusion card, a war veteran disability card, or any other similar official document certifying their disability.
Don’t have one of these documents?
If you do not have one of these documents, note that Disneyland Paris also accepts other proof, such as those for people with long-term conditions (ALD).
Visitors with this type of document can be granted another type of card: the Easy Access Card.
The colors of the priority card
The colors of the priority card are determined based on answers to four questions designed to assess the level of disability in the park. These questions are essential to ensure a tailored experience for each visitor with disabilities.
- The first question concerns the ability to move around in a wheelchair.
- The second addresses the ability to go up and down stairs.
- The third asks whether an accompanying person is required.
- The fourth evaluates the ability to be evacuated on foot under different conditions.
Based on the answers, a color code is assigned.
- The green color indicates full independence, where the visitor can board, disembark, and be evacuated alone or with companions.
- The purple color corresponds to independence with reduced mobility, still allowing boarding, disembarking, and evacuation alone or with companions.
- Orange indicates partial independence with supervision required.
- Blue means the visitor cannot move without assistance.
- The grey sticker is reserved for visitors who are not independent and require specific evacuation by firefighters if necessary.
These colors help manage individual needs and ensure a safe experience for all visitors.
What information is on the priority card?
