  • What is accessibility like in Disneyland Paris? In this video, with the help of one of my lovely viewers, Laura, I show you how the disability system works at Disneyland Paris. Laura has autism and uses a Priority Pass to help her navigate the parks as easily as possible. The Priority Pass is one of the 2 disability passes you can get at Disneyland Paris - the other one being an Easy Pass (for more temporary disabilities). With the help of Laura, we go around both of the Disneyland Paris parks and learn about how this system works, and how effective it is. I learnt a lot myself and am grateful to Laura for contacting me and suggesting I make this video.
    Do you use a Disability Pass at Disneyland Paris? Have you found it's made it easier for you and your needs? Is there anything you think would improve the Disneyland Paris disability system? Let me know your thoughts in the comments.
    If you enjoyed this video, I'd appreciate you liking it :) And please subscribe for more similar videos x
    HUGE thanks to the lovely Laura for offering to make this video possible. Please follow @purritocatshelter on Instagram if you love cats and want to support a great cause.

    Hello hello!!
    So I have CP (right sided hemiplegia which means that the right side of my body is weaker than my left - my mobility and balance is poor and I tired easily - sigh!) and I was actually in the park the day you filmed this Sam! I saw you from a distance and my sister and I were delighted!
    My experience of the card: I think it is fantastic! A few years ago I was in Orlando DisneyWorld and the process was more like how Laura described the long term illness card - you were given a slot to return to the ride etc, but interestingly I didn’t need proof of my disability in the US, but maybe my limp gave me away!!!!!
    For Paris, before I travelled I did get an ‘access card’ by getting a letter off my GP and then apply for this card so that I would have proof I was disabled and if there are other British disabled people reading this comment I do suggest googling the access card just as it was accepted in DLP but can also be used in the U.K. for places like the Harry Potter Studios (depending on your disability and needs ofc)
    ANYWAY the DLP disabled treatment was the best I’ve received, it was fantastic not having to stand and queue, BUT I did I have walk up a lot of steps to get on Space Mountain as that was via premier access so that was tricky but hey ho I know for future!
    It was great as well to be able to flash the card and be understood as I don’t have any French! Eg: for the storybook ride we didn’t have to get in the boat on the moving platform but rather at a stationary point and when the ride ended you had a frantic me gesturing to the cast member to please stop the boat to let me off, and flashing the card to explain why!
    Honestly, even having the card just gave me the confidence to get into the rides at my own pace (like, crush’s coaster IS hard to get in!) and not feel rushed etc, it was marvellous!
    I hope this comments helps other people, I only wish my family had known about it when we had visited the parks when I was younger!!! (I’m 30 now, like DLP)

      I also have CP and am hopefully spending Christmas in Europe from the States, and I have been trying to find out about the European disability access since I am very used to the Orlando systems. Thanks for this info!
      As a response to your bit about not needing documentation in the States Emma: I work in disability services at a college, and within the education system you are required to show documentation for accommodations, but according to US law in public spaces (Disney, Movie Theatres, etc) they are legally not allowed to request documentation or to deny you access to accommodations due to a lack of documentation. We don't have nationalized healthcare, so it is possible someone would have a diagnosis but not have the money or ability to access the paperwork to show this. It's been really different for me looking up accessible travel information for the UK and Europe as a person traveling from the States, because you have to show documentation everywhere to prove a disability, rather than just using my sunflower lanyard (which is more miss than hit here for recognition) and my pronounced limp haha.

    The sunflower lanyard is great! It was made initially for people with hidden disabilities to be able to indicate to airport staff that they have a disability so that they can be understanding and patient with the person, as well as offer them additional support. It has been expanded across the uk and the world as a way for people with disabilities to easily communicate that they may need support/ patience. Unfortunately many people during the pandemic especially in the uk used it wrongly to pretend they were mask exempt, which has taken away a lot of the progress and meaning of the symbol. Lots of people with disabilities may be mask exempt, but it’s very unfortunate that many people misused it, and that now it’s meaning has been damaged.

      This issue is commonly known in the uk. Lots of people admitted to misusing the scheme, many even bragged about it, many suggested it to others as a way to avoid wearing masks. The official sunflower lanyard scheme made statements about it themselves. If you search online ‘misuse of sunflower lanyards’ you will find lots of information about it.

      @@louisabell1454 I have a sunflower lanyard and live in the UK. I also know people who had trouble with masks due to COPD, anxiety, etc. I get your message but we can’t assume people are faking a need just because we can’t easily see what that need is.

      @ElasticGobb Před 11 měsíci +1

      The Original Poster acknowledged that many people with disabilities were mask exempt or unable to wear masks because of their illness/disabilities, however it is commonly known amongst the disabled community that people were abusing the sunflower lanyard system. People did brag online about using it as a way to get out of wearing a mask whilst not having a disability, so the original poster is not making assumptions.

    • @Fizzy5pringwater
      @Fizzy5pringwater Před 11 měsíci

      @@ElasticGobb That is incredibly divisive and discriminatory to even suggest we can start deciding who is disabled and who is not just by looking at them. “I saw someone online who said they faked needing the sunflower lanyard therefore *if I think another is faking, I’m the arbiter of disability assignment because I don’t think other people believe them, either, and that’s damaging to the sunflower lanyard.” No, that’s exactly what we need to get away from. Why support that? Even disabled people sometimes decide they are more disabled than their disabled friends. It’s a slippery slope of toxicity and judgment.
      There are theme parks in the UK asking for a doctor’s diagnosis letter in addition to a blue badge to give disabled access because of this sort of thinking. Those are not at all easy to get. The disabled should not face extra burdens because someone thinks they might be faking.
      Nobody wants to be disabled or pretend to be, and anyone saying they want to pretend to be probably isn’t well.

    So glad you covered this. We have bought an annual pass since we discovered the access pass and it has been awesome. You are also entitled to a 25% discount on an annual pass if you have a disability and if you require the support of a carer they can have a 25% discount too. Well done DLP. We're off to Orlando in four weeks and not sure if their DAS pass will be as good. Also if any UK subscribers read this please get yourself a Credibility Access Card. DLP accept this as proof of disability and so do loads of theatre/festivals/theme parks in the UK and it means you don't have to keep providing documentation. It lasts 3 years and only costs £15.

    Thanks for this information. It helped me to get it for my sister. I wanted to make her happy and invited her and my Mama to DLP. I expected to get a slot to come back with her but not this up and beyond treatment that we received.
    I sometimes felt bad that we could actually jump the line like this when there are long waiting times and we could almost got on with only waiting for a few minutes. But the joy my sister had made up for everything. All cast members around the whole of Disneyland were so helpful and assisted in getting in and out of the cars. Even the other guests smiled with how happy my sister was.
    Honestly, aside from the care home my sister stays during the week and the special olympics I have never seen so many people with disabilities and the treatment they all received warmed my heart.
    This for sure made the trip to DLP even more special. Unfortunately 'a small world' was closed to really relive the visit when we were Kids but she still enjoyed everything to the fullest. Even my Mama and I did and this is the most I could ask for.

    We last visited a few months ago and I am pregnant! I asked at reception in our hotel (Newport bay) and the kind gentlemen saw my bump and gave me a wrist bad. This entitled me and my husband and daughter to go through the attraction exits with disabled guests. It was amazing and I was so grateful for it especially in the heat 😃

    When I went last time (pre covid and I know it’s had a change) for the princess pavilion you went first thing (during extra magic time if you can) and book a spot for later. We did have to queue for that obviously but it was less than 45mins which, If still happens, may be easier.

  • @2me2care
    @2me2care Před 2 lety

    Thank you soo much for this video and all that information. I was there from the 7th to the 9th for the first time since I was two months old. And I never filled in any forms online for a disability pass because I didn't know I had to. But I did get one, without asking, perhaps because of the severity of my diseases. Degenerative disc disease, fibromyalgia and others. I did have an official document with me stating my disability because it meant 25% discount on my annual pass, and the same discount for the one that guides me on my trips. I can still walk, but not for very long which is why I'm in a wheelchair most of the time. I rented a wheelchair in the park because the one we had with us broke... I got a different colour than Laura, I got orange. And I've got to say that Disneyland Paris is the first place ever where I didn't feel like something less than human when I'm in the wheelchair. I usually can go right in, though in some rides there can be only one wheelchair user at a time so sometimes I had to wait a few minutes. And it's like cast members are racing to help me, not just at the attractions but even the shops and restaurants! It really is an amazing experience. Though my niece did get a little spoiled by having no waiting times, the few times we did have to wait she would get a little angry...She's only 9 though so I forgive her ;).

    i used the easy access card this june and i really liked it! to me it felt like i was barley waiting i could sit somewhere and rest and then go to the attraction so it was super relaxed. it’s was a struggle to figure out what i needed but i just wrote a letter with a lot of my medical information in it and my doctor signed and stamped it.

    Thanks for the video Sam and Laura, so helpful! Does anyone know if you can get a priority pass for dysautonomia? I have both POTS and NCS, so I can’t stand for very long without getting symptoms and passing out which obviously makes queuing a problem!

  • @kuchizoundpollution5
    @kuchizoundpollution5 Před 2 lety +1

    Awesome and helpful information! Had no idea my diabetic parents would qualify for the easy access card! Very helpful information for our trip in 2 weeks!
    I do think WDW does the priority pass better, they have the DAS system instead and for all attractions, even character meet and greets they gave a return time that would be equivalent to the amount of time you would wait in the queue at the time u booked. For example if the line for pirates was 45mins and u booked ur DAS pass at 10:00, it would tell u to return at 10:45. My family used it on our last WDW trip in April because my brother has a disability and it was sooo easy! There is an interview process that could be done before we arrived in Orlando and to request return times it was all done through the app, no need to go to the actual ride or character to request something. They don't have the limits of people but the rule is the person with the DAS pass must ride. Expecting someone with a disability wait 45mins for a character meet is crazy, I hope DLP takes some notes from WDW because their DAS system is amazing. There is always room for improvement.

  • @BioSimone2915
    @BioSimone2915 Před 2 lety +1

    I am a huge disney fan, but this was a horrible experience. I was fully disabled because of long covid. I was not able to walk, stand or talk. Still we did not want te cancel our trip because of our son. So we called in advance explaining te situation. The lady on the phone seemed really helpfull and told us all would be well. It was not! My disability was not on the list of disabilities and even though I was clearly disabled and I had a letter from my physician, they did not help at all. Because of this I've spent most of the time waiting by my self without my family. It was trully humiliating, especially since I really tried to get everything managed in advance. So don't just believe the lady on the phone, but check and get everything in writing. I wish nobody the same experience I had. Still love disney, but this was a nightmare.

    I went exactly a month ago and I had the same pass, I too have a diagnosis of autism (along with a few other things but that's the main one) and I totally agree I don't think I would have done half as well on the trip as I did! I had one meltdown in the 4 day trip which I expected at least one. Especially having the space for the fireworks helped because on the first day when me and my partner were trying to leave the park we did it like 40 minutes before the fireworks and it was super busy and I was in a horrific sensory overload so I can't even imagine watching the fireworks in that!

      The same as the rides, follow the disability sign at show, show the card and you can get in. The doors will open first for disabled people so you are sure of a good spot/ a place for the wheelchair etc.

      Hi Meganne! I do use noise reducing earplugs, not noise cancelling headphones. I do find that it helps for shows, fireworkshow, parades etc. I have subtiel little 'Loop' earplugs but headphones would also be an option if you wish, I personally find it just a little to bulky for trips to Disney.

    Hello fellow Disneyland visitors/fans :D Thank you SO much for posting this video! Somewhere during november I will be visiting Disneyland Paris for the first time, with the prioritypass (autism). I was incredibly nervous already about how it would all work and stuff and this video helped a lot!!! Just two small questions if that’s oke; do you reviece a (sunflower)keycord with your prioritypass? (I don’t have a keycord myself and it seems like a very handy tool to be able to use the priority card a lot without losing it) and if you are carrying a small backpak like Laura’s; where can you keep it/store it when you go on rollercoasters and such?

      Hey! The sunflower lanyard is something I bought separate, it doesn't come with the priority card. You can, however, buy disney themed lanyards in the shops there.
      Most rides just let's you take your backpack with you, only the soldiers one in Toystory Land has a place to put them.
