A Disneyland Paris hotel is functioning as a vaccine site to ramp up coronavirus shots in France.
Firefighters have been giving the shots at the convention center inside Disney's Newport Bay Club hotel since April 24.
Those getting vaccinated can enjoy a glimpse inside the nautical-themed hotel as the park remains closed.

Disneyland Paris closed in October 2020 after France implemented new lockdown rules following a surge in coronavirus cases, as Forbes reported.

While Disneyland Paris remains closed, one of the park's hotels became a mass coronavirus vaccination site on April 24, 2021, to speed up France's vaccine rollout.

With the French health authorities, firefighters from Seine-et-Marne, an area just east of Paris, are aiming to administer 1,000 shots every Saturday and Sunday.

After they get their shots, people sit in socially distanced seats above a star-lined carpet, which may be reminiscent of Disney's "Fantasia" for some.
