How the pass works

The park sells a dated ticket called the “Billet & Pass Accessibilité Handicap”. The pass itself is free for one visitor with a disability and up to three companions. The English pages call it the Disability Accessibility Pass. On the French pages the ticket is 54 EUR bought in advance and 57 EUR at the park, not combinable with other offers and not refundable or exchangeable. The ticket page says it is valid on dated days from 4 April 2026 to 3 January 2027, according to the opening calendar. It does not cover special events or the Peur sur le Parc evening nights (19:00 to 01:00), which need a different ticket. We could not read opening hours because the calendar page loads by script.

Buying online is recommended, and the pass is then pre-activated. It is switched on at the entrance turnstile when staff check the card, and you are given a wristband and an accessibility guide. A smartphone is needed, because some rides use the park app.

Wristband rules, in our words: it is personal and cannot be passed on, and works only on the day shown. It is removed without refund if misused, and is never replaced if taken off or torn off. It does not let you choose seats on boats. When the park is busy, your access may be put back to a later time. If the wristband holder does not ride, the companions use the ordinary queue.

How many rides? The park’s pages disagree

The park’s own pages give different ranges for the pass. We have not been able to reconcile them, so please treat the numbers as unresolved and ask the park which rides you can use.

What each official page says about the pass range
Page	What it says
Accessibility page (French) (opens a new tab) ↗	Priority access without waiting on 10 named major rides: Tonnerre 2 Zeus, OzIris, La Trace du Hourra, La Revanche des Pirates, Goudurix, Pégase Express, La Descente du Nil, Romus & Rapidus, Menhir Express and Attention Menhir. It adds direct access to the other rides and a reserved place at shows.
Ride access page (French) (opens a new tab) ↗ and English version (opens a new tab) ↗	Access to 28 attractions without waiting and without a limit on repeats, by showing the wristband at the dedicated access. It separately lists 14 rides in the pass range that use the park’s virtual queue (Filotomatix): one go on each, using a QR code at your appointment time, with one booking at a time and a new booking in the app for another go. Toutatis and Cétautomatix are one booking each, subject to places. The English text on the 14-ride line mentions only Toutatis as excluded, where the French text excludes Toutatis and Cétautomatix.

All the pages add that a wait can still happen depending on how busy the park is and on ride disruption. Extra companions beyond the group of four can be added to your group by buying Filotomatix products, according to the access and services page.

Documents and eligibility

The park asks for the original, valid Carte Mobilité Inclusion (CMI) marked “Invalidité” or “Priorité”, shown at the entrance access control. No copy or photograph is accepted. The CMI is a French card issued by French authorities.

The park says these do not give the pass: the parking-only CMI (“Stationnement”), a decision letter from the French MDPH, an adult disability allowance (AAH) letter, a worker-recognition (RQTH) letter, a medical certificate and a recent hospital certificate. Its FAQ answer to a visitor who is ill but has no disability card is that priority access needs the CMI.

UK documents, the Blue Badge and the EU Disability Card are not named on any page we read. That means the pages are silent, not that a request would be refused. If you hold a UK award letter, Blue Badge, Access Card or an EU Disability Card, ask the park in writing, before you buy the ticket, whether it will issue the pass and in what form. The ticket is not refundable, so get the answer first. See using UK documents abroad for how other parks word this.

Contact: we found no number or address just for accessibility questions. The park lists a general line, +33 (0)9 86 86 86 87 (the pages give Monday to Saturday, 9:00 to 18:00, though the English page gives Monday to Friday, 9:00 to 17:00), and a contact form at parcasterix.fr/contact (opens a new tab) ↗.

Travelling with companions

The visitor with a disability may board each ride with up to three companions. One of the three must be at least 15 and able to help when needed. The reduced companion ticket rate applies to one companion aged 15 or over per visitor with a disability per day. In a group of more than four, only the holder and three companions use the alternative accesses; the rest queue.

The park says its staff are not authorised or trained to physically help visitors, so helping someone on or off a ride is the companion’s responsibility.

Boarding, transfers and ride restrictions

The park says every ride has access conditions set by the manufacturer and European standards. Wheelchair users should expect to leave the chair, sit and hold the restraints on rides. The access and services page says that if you use a wheelchair, you reach rides by the exit only. The 2026 accessibility guide (a French PDF, dated September 2026 in its file path) lists for each ride whether access is by exit, entrance, lift or dedicated access, what physical abilities are needed, and height rules. We could not reliably read that table, so we do not copy ride-by-ride rules or heights here. Open the official 2026 guide (French PDF) (opens a new tab) ↗ and check each ride you plan to use. The PDF says it is not contractual and may change.

The Toutatis ride page says access for the pass is by lift and that a test seat is available before the queue because some body shapes do not fit. That page links an older guide, so use the 2026 guide for details. Show places: the pass gives a reserved place at shows. The 2026 guide says the place is held until five minutes before the start.

Not found: pregnancy and health restrictions (the park’s FAQ answer loads by script and we could not read it), sensory or strobe information, and show captioning, audio description or sign language.

Toilets, equipment and quieter spaces

Toilets: the guide says all toilets are equipped for people with reduced mobility. We found no mention of a Changing Places toilet or an adult changing bench.
Wheelchair hire: at the reception by the entrance, 15 EUR a day plus a 50 EUR cash deposit, with identity shown. Numbers are limited and we found no way to book. Electric chairs or scooters are not mentioned.
Shops and restaurants: shops are wheelchair accessible, though some have a small step. Shops and restaurants have adapted tills where visitors with disabilities have priority; ask a member of staff.
Assistance dogs: allowed in the park with a certificate showing the dog was trained at an approved centre, and the official legal vest or collar.
Quiet space, medication, oxygen and food allergies: no information found.

Arrival and parking

The park lists three steps: park, use the dedicated bag-check lane (ask the security agent), then show the original CMI at the turnstile. Adapted, reserved spaces are in car parks P1 and P2, the nearest to the entrance, for holders of a disabled parking card; tell the car-park attendant. The pages do not say whether a UK Blue Badge or another foreign permit is accepted, so ask. Parking is paid: 20 EUR a day, rising to 25 EUR a day from 3 October 2026 (getting there page (French) (opens a new tab) ↗).

Getting there without a car

The park is about 35 km north of Paris (Porte de la Chapelle), about 30 minutes by car. Without a car, the park describes RER line B to Aéroport Charles de Gaulle, then its shuttle from the Roissypôle coach station (stop A3). The shuttle is 14 EUR return on a dated ticket, with departures every 15 to 30 minutes and a trip of about 25 minutes. Its pages disagree on first departure (from 09:00 on one section, and one hour before opening on another) and mention possible gaps between 13:00 and 15:30 when busy. The shuttle information desk at Roissypôle is open 08:10 to 12:45, and the park gives 01 48 62 38 33 for shuttle questions. We found no statement on whether the shuttle takes wheelchairs or has step-free boarding, nor on lifts on the RER. Ask before relying on it. The park also lists a partner taxi service; vehicle accessibility is not stated.

Where to stay

The park has three on-site hotels: Les Trois Hiboux, La Cité Suspendue and Les Quais de Lutèce. Their pages say Les Trois Hiboux has four specially designed rooms and Les Quais de Lutèce has five, subject to availability; La Cité Suspendue says its facilities are all accessible. The hotels page says guests with disabilities can use a dedicated desk suitable for wheelchair users. Rooms have a larger bathroom space, a fold-down seat in the shower and a grab bar. Restaurants are on the ground floor, or reached by lift at Les Trois Hiboux. Book through the contact centre or online (hotels accessibility page (French) (opens a new tab) ↗). The room counts come from the three hotel pages listed under official sources.

Ask before booking: whether the shower is level-access, which room type you would get, and whether visual fire alarms are fitted. We did not find those details.

A flexible shape for the day

Planning suggestions, not a tested itinerary.

Arrive at P1 or P2, use the bag-check lane and collect the wristband and guide at the turnstile.
Check in the app which of your chosen rides need a time slot, and book one at a time. Use the appointment gap to rest.
Use the guide to pick rides whose boarding conditions fit the group, and leave some rides as optional extras.
Allow time for the return shuttle or car park, especially at closing time.

Nearby alternatives

For another French park with its own arrangement, see Disneyland Paris, which is also in the Paris region. Futuroscope and Puy du Fou are further away and have their own documents rules.

Questions still worth asking

We have not established all of the following. Ask the park:

Will the pass be issued against a UK or EU document, and in what form should you send it?
Which rides can the pass holder use without a time slot, and which need the app?
Is there a Changing Places toilet or adult changing bench?
Do the Roissypôle shuttle buses carry wheelchairs?
Where can you take a quieter break, and what are the rules on medication and food allergies?
