Is the word desaparece the same in Brazilian and European Portuguese?

Yes

The word "desaparece" is identical in spelling, grammar, and meaning in both Brazilian and European Portuguese. The only difference is pronunciation. In Brazilian Portuguese, the final unstressed "e" is typically pronounced as a high, clear /i/ (sounding similar to "desapareci"). In European Portuguese, this final "e" is heavily reduced to a near-silent, central vowel (/ɨ/), which makes the word sound much shorter and "clipped" to a Brazilian listener.
