Disneyland Paris will require proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test for theme park entry

Beginning July 21 2021, following government regulations, Disney will require guests to present a Health Pass for admission into the Disneyland Paris theme parks for anyone 18 years or older. From August 30, that age requirement will drop to age 12.

The change comes as the Delta variant of COVID continues to take hold, and the French government looks for ways to curb the virus while still allowing theme parks to operate.

According to information available from the French government, a Health Pass must be presented in digital or paper form, to verify one of three things:

That a guest is fully vaccinated (with an EMA-approved vaccine):
- Two weeks after the second shot for two-shot vaccines (Pfizer, Moderna, AstraZeneca);
- Four weeks after the shot for one-shot vaccines (Johnson & Johnson);
- Two weeks after the shot for vaccines administered to people who have already had COVID-19 (only one dose is necessary).

OR that a guest has been tested (PCR or Antigen) and has a negative result within the last 48 hours;

OR for persons who have had COVID-19: the result of a positive RT-PCR or Antigen test, attesting that the individual has been infected, and that a period of time of at least 11 days and less than 6 months has passed since the test result was obtained (considered as a recovery certificate).

To support the process, Disney will be providing onsite testing for around $80 for non-French citizens, and around $20 for French citizens.

Disneyland Paris reopened from the original COVID-19 shutdown on July 15 2020 at the same time as Walt Disney World, but subsequently closed again as pandemic conditions forced an additional shutdown in France late 2020. The resort then reopened again on June 17 2021.
