Learn How to Navigate Disney with Disabilities

DISNEY WITH MOBILITY ISSUES

Walt Disney World and Disneyland are both able to accommodate guests with mobility issues, whether you use a wheelchair, ECV, scooter, etc or not. The first stop for all guests at all theme parks should be Guest Relations. Here, you can speak with a cast member to determine what your disabilities qualify to use. In most cases, you will receive a wheelchair pass to access most attractions, where you will then be able to take your wheelchair into the line queue, where possible. Disneyland, which opened in 1955, was certainly not built to accommodate wheelchairs, but they have done their best to make it possible for all people to enjoy Disneyland. Likewise, Walt Disney World has been updated as much as possible for those with ambulatory limitations and disabilities. To access the full list of accommodations for each park:
