Hi all,
I will be reviewing the parks access, the activities and rides, staff, value for money and anything else I can think of that may help all you travellers out!
With staying in a resort hotel, you are given access to the parks 2 hours early. This is something we never took advantage of so I can't really comment on, but it is definately an attractive proposition for guests - particularly in the off season when the park doesn't have such long opening hours.
As soon as we went through the turnstyles we headed for City Hall. We wanted to get an "easy access pass". The website (http://www.disneylandparis.co.uk/) advised us on what we needed to bring along with us to get the pass - simply a letter from your GP dated within the past 3 months or a blue badge will be sufficient. We however forgot to bring either and left them in the car at birmingham airport!!! Clever. We explained the situation to the gentleman behind the counter who was very helpful and didn't question our legitimacy. All they asked was whether the client could climb a ladder or not. This question determined which colour pass you would be issued with. If you cannot climb down a ladder, you aren't allowed to ride Peter Pan's Flight or Crushes coaster in the Studios Park. Guest services will give you a map of the parks designed for disabled guests, it also includes information regarding how to gain access to the rides so an invaluable piece of information.
The man explained to us how to gain access to attractions and the viewing areas for shows and parades. In the main park, you generally entered a ride through the exit where a cast member would assist you from there. A number of rides will offer essentially a fast pass system where you come back at a certain time and gain access via the exit. I believe that despite gaining access via the exit you are meant to wait as long as the main queue is, yet we didn't queue any longer than 10 minutes! There were 2 of us supporting the wheelchair user and we had no problem of being seperated except in the viewing areas for parades and shows. Due to the size of the area only one person was allowed to assist but this wasnt too much of an issue as it is only a rope seperating the viewing area from the rest of the pavement.
You have to present your EAC at all attractions and viewing areas so it is advisable to keep it handy.
If you have any questions about the card, please leave them in the comments and I will answer them as quickly and as thoroughly as possible.
