Are Assistance Dogs Allowed?

Yes. Disneyland Paris welcomes recognised guide and assistance dogs in its shops and Disney Hotels, including Bay Boutique at Disney Newport Bay Club.

You can enter the boutique with your working assistance dog and remain together while shopping.

Disneyland Paris requires guide and assistance animals to be kept under their handler's control and on a lead or harness throughout its hotels and parks.

Ordinary pets do not have the same access arrangements as recognised assistance animals.

Where to Find Bay Boutique

Bay Boutique is located inside Disney Newport Bay Club, the nautical-themed Disney Hotel beside Lake Disney.

The shop forms part of the hotel's indoor guest facilities.

If you need help finding the boutique or identifying the most suitable route, speak to the hotel reception team.

Wheelchair and Mobility Accessibility

Disneyland Paris identifies its boutiques as wheelchair accessible.

You can visit Bay Boutique while using a wheelchair or other mobility aid and accompanied by your assistance dog.

The amount of space available between clothing racks, display stands and merchandise may change with the shop layout and number of visitors.

If you have difficulty reaching an item or moving around a display, ask a Cast Member for assistance.

Hearing Accessibility

Disneyland Paris provides adapted sales points with magnetic induction loops and handsets for visitors with hearing impairments.

The exact equipment available at an individual Bay Boutique checkout should be confirmed with a Cast Member.

Shopping with an Assistance Dog

Your dog should remain under your control throughout the visit, using a lead or harness.

Keeping your dog beside you and clear of merchandise displays can help you navigate the boutique safely.

If you require additional space or assistance collecting products, speak to a Cast Member.

Disneyland Paris does not advertise a dedicated assistance-dog waiting or resting area inside Bay Boutique.

Cast Members are not authorised to take responsibility for looking after your assistance dog while you shop.

Sensory Accessibility and Additional Needs

Bay Boutique is an indoor retail environment with decorative lighting, merchandise displays and activity from other guests.

The amount of noise and movement varies depending on how busy the hotel and shop are.

If you or your assistance dog find crowds difficult, consider visiting when the boutique is less busy.

A designated quiet or sensory-friendly shopping area is not advertised.

Visitors with visual impairments or other access requirements can request assistance identifying merchandise and navigating the shop.

Water, Rest Breaks and Dog Care

Disneyland Paris recommends bringing suitable supplies for your assistance dog, including drinking equipment.

Do not assume that Bay Boutique has a dedicated water station or provides bowls inside the shop.

Disneyland Paris permits guide and assistance dogs to use appropriate garden areas for relief, provided their handlers clean up afterwards.

If your dog needs a break, ask the hotel team where you can find a suitable outdoor area.

Identification and Travel Documentation

Disneyland Paris advises guests travelling with assistance animals to carry their animal's current travel documents, vaccination evidence and proof of assistance-animal status.

These documents may be requested when checking into a Disney Hotel or entering the Disney Parks.

If you are travelling from the UK or another country, ensure your dog meets the relevant requirements for entering France.

The resort's requirements for assistance dogs are separate from its general pet policies.

Disney PhotoPass and Shopping Services

Bay Boutique offers Disney PhotoPass services in addition to its retail merchandise.

Disney Newport Bay Club also provides shopping delivery facilities as part of its hotel services.

If carrying purchases is difficult while using mobility equipment or managing an assistance dog, ask a Cast Member which collection or delivery options are available for your purchase.

Practical Tips

Bay Boutique welcomes recognised assistance dogs, allowing you to shop without being separated from your working animal.

Keep your dog on a lead or harness, bring suitable supplies and have the required travel and assistance-animal documentation available.

If you use a wheelchair or need communication support, speak to a Cast Member about the appropriate checkout and shopping assistance.

For visitors sensitive to noise or crowds, choosing a less busy shopping period may make the experience more comfortable.
