At Disneyland Paris, their MagicALL experience is their approach to accessibility requirements and is intended to empower those with special needs and disabilities through a collection of services and offerings to guests, cast members and the community.
“We continue to address a diverse range of disabilities and special needs – including hearing, mental motor and visual – to deliver an exceptional guest experience. This encompasses how we think about our attractions, entertainment, shopping, dining, hotels, transportation and even booking process, with dedicated Cast Members to provide support every step of the way”.
Accessible Rooms at Disneyland Paris
All of the Disney hotels welcome guests with disabilities and special needs, service dogs are also welcome at many of the hotels.
All hotel have accessible rooms, however we always recommend letting the cast members know that you have specific needs as some hotels will need to make adjustments ready for your stay. For example, the Hotel Cheyenne doesn’t have any lifts, therefore their accessible rooms are located on the ground floor.
All accessible friendly rooms have been designed with space in mind to meet the needs of any guests with limited mobility. These rooms also incorporate an extra large bathroom with hand rails and a raised toilet.
