Welcome to planDisney, Paula! Thanks so much for coming to us with your question today.
I'm sorry to hear that you've got an injury right before a trip to
Magic Kingdom, but you won't have to worry about your wheelchair while you're having fun!
Attraction queues are accessible, which means you can bring your wheelchair with you right through the line. When you reach the loading area, a Cast Member will help you with whatever you need next. If you're transferring into the ride vehicle, they'll take your wheelchair from the loading side and bring it to the unloading side so it's waiting for you when your ride is over. It's a smooth, well-practiced process, so there's nothing for you to worry about.
If you'd prefer to walk some of the time, you can park your wheelchair in the designated stroller and wheelchair parking areas near attractions, shows, and dining locations. Just ask any nearby Cast Member where the nearest one is, and they'll point you right there. A helpful tip is to pop a bright ribbon, tag, or small sign on your chair so it's easy to spot if the parking area gets rearranged. Cast Members will occasionally move mobility devices within the same area to ease traffic flow or to keep things safe and tidy.
One important note: please don't chain or lock your wheelchair. It's not permitted to secure it to benches, railings, or other fixed objects, and you shouldn't put a separate lock on the wheels either. Cast Members need to be able to move mobility devices for safety and operational reasons, especially in crowded areas. If you're concerned about your belongings, keep valuables with you and remove small accessories like a cushion, phone mount, or detachable bag before you board.
Throughout the day, just let the Cast Member at each attraction entrance know how you'd like to handle the queue, and they'll guide you to the best path. You'll often have the option to stay in your wheelchair, park it and walk a bit, or transfer at the loading point, and you can choose what works best for you at that time. In the lead-up to your trip, make sure to check out the
Accessibility Planning Guide so you have all the information you need before you head to Magic Kingdom!
I hope this answers your question, Paula, and please let us know if there's anything else we can do to help you plan your day at Magic Kingdom!
