5 New ways Disneyland Paris is making visits more inclusive

Disneyland Paris has been rolling out a wave of new accessibility initiatives, all designed to make the magic easier to enjoy for everyone. Here are five recent improvements that are already making a real difference for guests.

1. Vibrating vests for live shows
Disneyland Paris is now the first theme park in Europe to offer vibrating vests in its theatres. Available for free during TOGETHER: A Pixar Musical Adventure and The Lion King: Rhythms of the Pride Lands, the vests turn sound into vibrations so guests with hearing impairments can feel the rhythm and emotion of the music. They’re the result of two years of development with accessibility experts.

2. Audio description added to Phantom Manor
Audio description keeps expanding across the resort, and Phantom Manor is the latest attraction to join the list. Through the AudioSpot app (in French and English), visually impaired guests can enjoy an even richer, more atmospheric experience. More attractions will follow in 2026, including Frozen Ever After when World of Frozen opens.

3. Wheelchair-accessible carriages on the Disneyland Railroad
The Disneyland Railroad now includes specially adapted carriages with a dedicated lift, allowing wheelchair users to board without needing to transfer. It’s a simple change that opens up a classic attraction to more guests.

4. A waiting area for assistance dogs at Pirates of the Caribbean
Guide and assistance dogs are welcome in about 40 attractions and shows, but some rides remain off-limits for safety reasons. At Pirates of the Caribbean, a secure waiting space has been created so guests can leave their dog safely while they ride. Disneyland Paris is exploring options to add similar areas to other attractions.

5. Tactile maps across the resort
Since 2023, visually impaired guests have had access to Virtuoz Mini tablets with tactile maps of the parks, Disney Village, and several hotels. Now, larger Virtuoz Maxi tactile maps are available at City Hall and Disney Hotel New York – The Art of Marvel. With multi-language tactile and audio information, they help guests build a mental map of their surroundings. The system will continue to expand to more hotels and to Walt Disney Studios Park (future Disney Adventure World).
