Hey there, Shannon!
I'm absolutely delighted to welcome you to planDisney and truly appreciate you taking the time to send your question our way. Can you believe it? Your Walt Disney World vacation is just around the corner! In no time at all, you'll be strolling down Main Street, U.S.A., surrounded by the sights, sounds, and pure magic that can only be found at the Most Magical Place on Earth. You're about to create unforgettable memories – moments that you will treasure for a lifetime. I'm so thrilled for you and all the magic that awaits!
I'm happy to share that when you reserve a
wheelchair accessible room at a
Disney Resort, the beds are designed to be lower to the ground, making transfers much easier. These rooms also offer additional space for greater comfort and mobility. In the bathroom, you'll find an accessible vanity with open space underneath, allowing a wheelchair to roll up easily, along with either a roll-in shower or an accessible bathtub, depending on the specific room type you reserved.
During your visit, you'll find that getting around Walt Disney World Resort with a wheelchair is practically perfect in every way! All of
Disney's transportation options, including the monorails, water taxis, buses, and even the Disney Skyliner, are designed to accommodate wheelchairs, making it easy to travel from place to place.
You'll also find that several attractions throughout the parks can accommodate wheelchairs, allowing Guests to roll right on and experience the ride without transferring. And when it's time for parades or fireworks, there are special viewing areas set aside so everyone can sit back, relax, and enjoy the magic together.
I'd encourage you to take a look at the
Services for Guests with Mobility Needs section on the official Walt Disney World website. It's packed with helpful resources and detailed information to help you plan your visit. I also recommend downloading the
My Disney Experience app to your mobile device. You'll find a similar section right there in the app, making it easy to access important details and guidance while you're exploring the parks.
Shannon, as a wheelchair user myself, accessibility at Walt Disney World is something I'm truly passionate about...I could chat about it all day! If any other questions come to mind, please don't hesitate to
reach out to me directly. I'd be more than happy to help you navigate all the options available. Wishing you the most magical vacation ever, and thank you so much for stopping by planDisney!
Magic and Memories,
Kami
