Overview
Spent 4 days at Disneyland Paris staying in the Sequoia Lodge resort. Accommodation was good as was the food and facilities. The actual Disney parks are within walking distance of the hotel. The accessible room was large and spacious with a large accessible bathroom. The bathroom has a roll in shower with a fold down seat. There was plenty of room for the mobile hoist to maneuver. There was an inter connecting carers room which had two queen size beds and a separate bathroom. This bathroom had a bath with shower over it. There was a wide inter connecting door. The dining areas are on the lower ground floor. The only frustration was that there is only one lift from the lower ground floor to the ground floor. The lift was small and often needed for pushchairs. The restaurants were accessible and the food was of good standard. Both parks are wheelchair friendly and there are plenty of accessible toilets.
Transport & Parking
We travelled by car. There is dedicated disabled parking near the hotel entrance as well as near the rooms.
Access
There are automatic doors in some areas of the hotel. The reception is large and spacious. There is also a large lounge area where food and drinks are served to you. The passages are wide as are the room doorways. To avoid the lift congestion, we walked down the path outside and around to the lower ground floor to the dining areas. In the parks themselves the access was good. Obviously the actual rides are very limited for those who cannot transfer from their wheelchairs. Having said that the park does have some fun rides for those in their powered wheelchairs.
Toilets
There are large accessible toilet cubicles in most of the toilets in both the hotel and the parks.
Staff
The staff are all Disney Crew and therefore most are very accommodating and friendly. Very helpful to disabled guests.
