Disabled Viewing Areas for Shows and Parades at Disneyland Paris

UpdatedAugust 11, 2025

1. What Is the Disabled Viewing Area?

The Disabled Viewing Area is a reserved section for guests with mobility, disability, or neurodiverse needs to enjoy parades and shows with reduced crowding. It offers step-free access, space for mobility aids, and a clearer view without the need to stand for long periods.

2. Locations

Parades (Disney Stars on Parade): marked blue on the map linked below

  • Disneyland Park: Typically located in Central Plaza (in front of Sleeping Beauty Castle) and near it’s a small world. Exact locations can vary—check with Cast Members or the park accessibility map on the day.

3. Requirements for Entry

  • You must have a Priority Card issued by Disneyland Paris.
  • Only the cardholder plus up to two companions are permitted inside. This is to ensure enough space for all eligible guests.
  • Arrive 15–30 minutes before the start, spaces are limited and given on a first-come, first-served basis.

4. Limitations

  • Spaces can fill quickly, especially for the nighttime show during peak seasons.
  • While the area is less crowded, it is not completely quiet, expect music, announcements, and crowd noise from surrounding areas.
  • The view may be partially obstructed if you arrive late and are placed toward the back.
  • These areas are standing or seated in your own mobility aid, chairs are not provided for companions without mobility needs.

5. Tips for Best Use

  • Identify the location earlier in the day and plan your route there to avoid last-minute stress.
  • Bring any sensory aids (ear defenders, sunglasses) if you are sensitive to loud sounds or bright lights.
  • If you are unsure on what time to arrive at a viewing area speak to a cast member earlier in the day they will advise on the best time.
