It makes no difference to Disney whether you are a person with disabilities or special needs, Disney only cares in what you require to make your Disney experience magical. 

Travel is challenging even if you have no disability or impairment, no one can guarantee that your vacation will be the kind we all hope for, but doing your homework will help prevent having the one we all fear.

Taking a vacation to Walt Disney World^® Resort, Disneyland^® Resort, or on a Disney Cruise Line^® ship, is considered one of the classic trips for families with children. Families who are traveling with a person with disabilities or limitations will find that there are accommodations available that can make the trip memorable for the entire family.

Pet dogs fraudulently misrepresented, as Service Dogs will usually give themselves away, because they are not accustomed to the overwhelming stimuli of public access environments. Extensive training is required in order for a Service Dog to function appropriately in places of public accommodation. The complete absence of such advanced training will likely become apparent in the course of admission.  It is also against the law!

As Disney creates new attractions, enhance existing ones, or build new cruise ships, careful consideration is given to providing appropriate access so that all Guests can enjoy the Disney experience. From handheld captioning, accessible-ride vehicles or sloped-entry swimming pools, Disney Imagineers and engineers challenge themselves to create as many accessible experiences everyone can enjoy. Having a disability or limitation is no barrier to enjoy the magic of Disney. 

With more places to go, more things to see and more characters to meet, there's never been a better time to make the dream come true.  Discover a world of magical entertainment and family fun that knows no boundaries. Choose from imaginative resorts, parks, ships and entertainment, explore endless world-class shopping, dining and recreation. 

 Be sure you keep your valuables safe at all times. Remember, like everywhere in our world, crime happens.
 

If you are travelling by car and have a disability placard, bring it with you so you can park in the handicap lot. 
 

Disney now has over 500 cardiac defibrillators at Disneyland^® Resort, Walt Disney World^® Resort and the Disney Cruise Line^®.

 

Disney does not allow pets of any kind into any of the Theme Parks, Water Parks, Transportation Buses, Resort and Cruise ships with the sole exception of trained service animals.  In some cases your service animal will need to meet Disney and international requirements and limitations.  

Service animals are medical aids or working dogs, they are not pets.  Please, always ask the handlers/owners for permission before you try to approach the service dog. Don't be offended if the handler/owner says no, the service animal is working and needs to be able to concentrate on the needs of the handler/owner.  Disney welcomes Autism Service Dogs!

On your very first entry into the Parks, Resorts or cruise ship, make it a priority to stop by the Guest Relations desk, be sure to pick up the "Information For Guest With Disabilities Guidebook"  it will provide you with lots of useful information.  By talking to the Cast Member, they may find ways to help you get the most out of your Disney experience.

Guests may need to transfer from their wheelchairs to utilize the attraction, this transfer may require the assistance of a member of your party. I recommend that you plan to visit or sail with someone who can physically assist you when necessary.  Cast Members are never allowed to assist with Guests transfers!

Consider using ride swaps when a person with disabilities is not able to access attraction, ask at Guest Relations as to how this works.  In addition, use FASTPASS^® wherever possible.
