Hi All,
This is my first post on the Dis but I have followed for many years. I recently returned from a lovely trip at DL Paris on May 18th to the 21st and had a GREAT time! However there was something that happened that took me by surprise so I wanted to give others a heads up.
You should know that if you plan to go to DL Paris with a wheelchair that you need to get a disability pass to be able to take the wheelchair through the lines. This differs from WDW and DL in the US as there you are unable to get a pass just because you have a wheelchair.
I had read about this pass on the Disneyland Paris website but they mentioned documentation that is usually only available to EU citizens. Additionally, we weren't looking to bypass the lines but to just bring the wheelchair in the line with us to wait as normal. However we were told we were unable to bring the wheelchair in the line without the pass.
So the bottom line is that if you are bringing a wheelchair to DL Paris you will need to get the disability pass from your hotel or from guest services and they really want a letter from your doctor to give it out. They gave it to us with an exception but if I had known we could have just gotten a doctors note prior to us going.
Otherwise we had a lovely time and for those going we found the food to be very good and the park very well maintained.
