I would think so, I think the fact that you are in a wheelchair alone is enough to be fair.
I always use a note from my GP (I have a heart condition) and they have never made a problem out of it.
So if they're fine with that, I'm pretty sure that they'll be fine with your blue card.
DLP is really awesome and accommodating towards people with illnesses and disabilities from my experience ^^
I hope you'll have a great stay! :)

All you need is a letter from your doctor, written in either English or French, stating what sort of disability you have.
The letter can't be older than 3 months, and it need to have a stamp and signature from your doctor.
Other things don't really help, it's just that letter. But ultimately Disneyland Paris is the one who decides if you get one or not.

The very first time we went, we had no idea about Disability passes or anything. So for the first day we queued and it was a nightmare, we were all at the point of tears. We went into City Hall just to see what we could do for our next visit, the CM spent a little time with our boy with Special Needs and gave us a pass there and then for the duration of our visit with absolutely no paperwork. They really are brilliant and use their common sense. Couldn't praise them enough!

Blue badge is all you need. There's no need for a drs letter of u have the badge. As most drs will charge an admin fee for writing a few lines. My blue badge on its on has been enough for them. No questions asked and I'm not in a wheelchair, Only use a stick.
