How Can We Help?
Are Assistance Dogs Allowed Inside the Shop at Disney’s Sequoia Lodge?
Yes, assistance dogs are welcome inside Northwest Passage, the gift shop at Disney’s Sequoia Lodge. This is part of Disneyland Paris’ inclusive policy that allows fully trained and registered assistance dogs in all public areas of the resort, including shops, restaurants, and hotel facilities.
Accepted Types of Assistance Dogs
Assistance dogs may include:
- Guide dogs for visual impairments
- Hearing dogs
- Medical alert dogs (e.g. for epilepsy or diabetes)
- Autism assistance dogs
- Mobility support dogs
These dogs must be trained by a recognised assistance dog organisation. Emotional support animals that are not officially certified may not be allowed in indoor spaces.
In-Shop Considerations
- The shop is spacious and level, with enough room for a dog to walk beside or rest next to their handler
- Staff are respectful and will not distract or interact with assistance dogs while they are working
- The shop environment is sensory-friendly with no flashing lights and low background noise, which can help prevent overstimulation for both dogs and handlers
- If you need additional space at checkout or assistance retrieving items while managing your dog, cast members are available to help
Water and Comfort
- You can request a water bowl for your dog at the hotel lobby or nearby restaurants
- Outdoor areas near the lobby entrance provide grass and natural relief spaces just a short walk from the shop
