Strategy

Serving Diverse Guests

With the aim of ensuring that our Theme Parks can be enjoyed by all guests, Tokyo Disney Resort is striving to create an environment that provides full and equal access for everyone.
Diverse guests visit the Theme Parks, including speakers of different languages, people with permanent or temporary disabilities, the elderly, expectant mothers, and people with special dietary needs. The OLC Group makes every effort to offer these guests a comfortable and pleasant experience by providing the necessary facilities, support tools, and support services performed by cast members.
To strengthen support provided by cast members, we encourage them to qualify as service care aides.

Risks and Opportunities

The Disney Handy Guide, which began to be offered in April 2017 at Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea, provides guests with visual or hearing disabilities with park information in the form of audio and text/captions (currently in Japanese only).

In addition, in December 2018, we started offering a second audio program (SAP) service at some attractions*2 to provide vocal explanations of the scenes encountered as the rides proceed.

When used in caption mode, it displays captions for narrations, scripted dialogue, and songs, primarily at theater attractions and entertainment facilities.
