Disneyland Paris Introduces Virtuoz for Visually Impaired and Blind Guests
Hi everyone!
Disneyland Paris has taken its next step in accessibility with Virtuoz for visually impaired and blind guests. Through interchangeable 3D maps and descriptive audio, the Virtuoz tablet helps guests navigate better around both parks – and later this year, the Disneyland Paris hotels and Disney Village will be included. There are 8 languages to choose from, including French and English. My father was blind for most of his adult life and accessibility for the visually impaired is very important to me.

Following the launch of audio description last summer, Disneyland Paris also began offering a new service earlier this year for visually impaired and blind guests. Through interchangeable 3D maps and descriptive audio, the Virtuoz tablet helps guests to better find their way around both parks, including all themed lands and some restaurants. The free service is available at City Hall and Studio Services upon request.
Other services are also available to help facilitate the visit of guests with disabilities. Audio description of attractions, restaurants and certain shows, interpretation in French sign language and performance for select shows, the use of accessibility guides and maps, and priority access cards are just a few examples of the services provided by the resort. Everything guests need can be found on a dedicated page of the Disneyland Paris website.
Disneyland Paris has continued to invest in recent years to make the entire resort even more accessible to guests with disabilities, while engaging in an ongoing dialogue with accessibility organizations and experts, on our path to offer everyone the chance to experience the magic of Disneyland Paris.
