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.

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.

The reason that you cannot directly enter an attraction with a priority card is due to the code on your priority pass. You have to answer some questions honestly according to your self-reliance. So you may indeed have to wait a long time. This has nothing to do with “a shame”, but with a well-considered policy. I just wanted to point out 😉 To try to meet everyone's needs, it is necessary to see how self-reliant each person is. I am severely visually impaired, and have a different code on my card than Laura. I also have a European disability card. Logical, because I can't get in or out of any attraction on my own, and I need permanent help. Nowadays people with disabilities are already taken into account more, but there is certainly room for improvement. Visually impaired people should also be able to sit at the very front of shows and during the fireworks at night. The places for people with disabilities during the fireworks in the evening are too far away for me to see well. For people like me it would help that there is sufficient lighting to enter the attraction, an extra lamp during dinner, at "captain Jack", clearly indicating when there is a ramp (for wheelchair users), ... Candlelight dining is not exactly my thing😅

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.

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.

@@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. “The Hidden Disabilities Sunflower was recently projected onto Christ the Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro, to highlight to the millions of Brazilians and tourists who have hidden disabilities that they will receive additional support, understanding or time when they visit Christ the Redeemer Hidden Disabilities Sunflower, which originated in the United Kingdom and is gaining momentum in Brazil, brings with it the hope for more ***empathy*** and inclusion.”

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?

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.

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. Thank you, Sam, Laura and most of DLP for making this experience a reality and putting fairy dust on it

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.

Hi! The priority card for rides is the person with the card + 4 people so you can all join together! For the parade/night time shows it is the person +2

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!

Easy pass?!? I stay at Sequoia Lodge last week and twisted my ankle so I could hardly walk on it. I was loaned a wheelchair by the hotel. However, some cast members show no sympathy towards people in the wheelchair. Even though I injured myself ON DISNEY PREMISES, I was unable to get any help with getting on the rides. When explaining the situation, their reaction was “So?”. I felt completely discriminated against.

I haven't had a chance to watch the video yet, but there is actually no pass anymore for temporary things. Even the Easy Access Card needs you to have a condition from a specific list of 30 Long Term Chronic Diseases to qualify for it! Having said that, I'm glad to be autistic, because my chronic disease isn't on the list and I could not do Disney without the Priority Card (which I get with the Autipas)! Can't wait to watch this video!

ALRIGHT I finally got to watch, and I got some things to add/clarify! The spots near the castle stage are for the Stars on Parade. For the Dream Brighter show there’s no point in adding another area there as you wouldn’t be able to see anything! Having said that, if you're disabled and go during Christmas times, *don't* use the disabled area for the Christmas parade (unless they change the spot this year!) A float stops right in front of it during the showstop, it's awful. Also pretty sure you can bring four people to characters! It’s only shows and parades that’s +2! Characters like Stitch and Winnie who are there most of the day hand out tickets three times a day (8:30, 9:30, and I think 13:00? maybe 11:00?), but you just have to know when that is because you can’t find it anywhere. For some you have to get there before it starts or you’ll miss out, like with Olaf (super popular) and Mary & Bert (short meet). All the outside meets have return times, though some pop up surprise meets have none at all and you just wait to the side, while the inside meets that are classed as attractions have their own queues (Princess Pavilion and Meet Mickey). I personally do use my card in quick service restaurants just to skip the queue and to be allowed in quieter areas when they have them. Also that shop has had Marvel merch for ages, hahah! I can't wait for there to be more! Hopefully it'll be good! Yes, there are different colors! Green is the lowest color, and that’s why you get to use Premier Access. Orange gets asked to use PA as well. I’ll try for a Purple one next because a lot of the PA queues have stairs which I can’t always do. Purple also lets you take your wheelchair up to rides (except for Star Tours, that’s only for Blue card holders, but that also means you can’t do Peter Pan or Crush). Gray is the highest color and means you can't transfer at all, meaning you pretty much can only do Buzz Lightyear's Laser Blast and It's A Small World. If you're pregnant you get a gray wristband! (And if you have a broken leg you get nothing anymore) The only downside to using the exit for rides is that you miss the queue experience, like the elevator at Phantom Manor, the preshow at Tower of Terror, and the Buzz animatronic at Laser Blast. Personally the only thing I would change is the current very strict rules to get the cards. I get why they changed it, and I agree with it, I just feel it's a bit *too* restrictive now, and too many people fall into the gap. If I wasn't autistic, I would have been one of them, and even now it cost me €45 just to be able to get the Autipas that allowed me the Priority Card. Other than that, you now get to choose what you can and can't do. Before the change, if you were autistic, you'd be (or could be) refused on Space Mountain and Parachute Drop for example, even if in my case, both would be fine, and you were always required a carer. ...Wow that got long. Apologies. I've used the card on about 10 trips now, and the old Green Card on two or three, so I know this stuff, haha! If there's any more questions I'd be happy to help!

Great work on this video. My eldest go-to Disney info is your channel. This is **super** helpful as the visual and Laura's lived experience is really good. Sorry, we did not see this before we have gone a couple times last year and a few years earlier when accompanying our youngest before but somehow got the same info off the net. I have recommended this link to a member of a local autism group who hopes to go in the Spring. Also it would be good to link it to your accommodation info which is also great stuff. Thank you and well done.

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 ;).
