Definitely up and ask about money back then as it doesn’t matter which adult.

I’m here now and I got my priority pass yesterday from city hall and they were lovely. I just showed my blue badge as that had my photo on it. If you show a letter you will need a passport as well.

For the parades there’s a little priority section nearby it’s a small world and it meant I could just walk up at 5:20 and get a spot to see the floats 😊

Looks like we will need a doctors note too for our son's autism for next May.

For anyone who has done it how did you approach your GP and what did you say?

Our son has severe learning difficulties, non verbal and doesn't have the patience levels to queue for long periods.
Been to WDW several times but on our past trips to DLP have never had or needed a doctors note.
We do have one and have taken it with us on holiday several times, which does explain Joshua''s condition but it's dated 2012!

Hi

As your dad has a blue badge this will enable him to have a green priority pass which allows himself and four additional people to use it with him and also a free carer.

Your nephew if he is in receipt of DLA this also would allow him a green priority pass so again an additional four people included.

This explains it better,

*Priority Disability Pass
The Priority Disability Pass is usually coloured Green at Disneyland Paris & allows disabled guests & up to 4 helpers/group members priority access at certain attractions. Queuing times will be dependant on visitor numbers but is generally much less than the average standard wait times. The rules on qualification were updated in May 2018.

The Pass can be only be used if the person with the disability intends to ride the attraction. To qualify you will need an original document dated within the last 12 months showing you are in receipt of either DLA, Attendance Allowance or PIP (or your countries equivalent) certifying that you have a disability OR a European disabled Parking Badge (Blue Badge). You will also be entitled to ONE FREE CARERS ticket each day on production of the necessary documents.*

If you have booked a package with DLP you can call and explain about a guest having a disability and will be accompanied with a carer and they will refund you the ticket price for your number of days.

Just make sure you have all paperwork with you, although my daughter has a blue badge and that was all they needed to see, they asked about her condition and explained there are some rides that only allow a certain number of disabled guests can go on at a time, so whilst we could use the priority queue we may still have to wait, although we never had to wait long.

HTH

Just to let you know, I wrote a letter to my son’s GP, who had originally referred him to community paediatrics for investigation into possible ADHD and ASD. Although my son won’t get an appointment for months so has no diagnosis yet, I explained to his GP that before issuing a priority pass DLP require a doctor’s letter explaining that he can get very dysregulated (violent) in queues and other social situations. He wrote a lovely letter that I’ll be taking along with his most recent DLA letter. There was a charge of £20.

Just wanted to add that we have just had £188.80 taken off our balance as my son receives DLA and I’m his carer. They did ask me to email our proof which was my sons DLA letter and my carers letter and then they sent a new invoice. So well worth doing.
