Hi Mary!
Thanks for stopping by planDisney with your question!
I'm so happy to hear you're planning a visit to The Most Magical Place on Earth. There are so many things to see and do at Walt Disney World Resort, and they are committed to making an inclusive, accessible environment for all guests. As the wife of someone with mobility challenges, we choose Disney again and again for our vacations because of their dedication to
guests with disabilities.
If you'd like to bring your personal mobility scooter into the theme parks, you are more than welcome to do so. You'll just need to make sure your scooter fits within the requirements from Walt Disney World's Property Rules:
"Wheeled mobility devices with less than 3 wheels or devices that cannot maintain stability and balance when stopped, unpowered, and/or unoccupied. Training wheels and/or modifications are not permitted. Devices must be manually or electrically powered and operated at a walking pace. Devices should be single rider and not exceed 36" (92 cm) in width and 52" (132 cm) in length."For information regarding attraction/transportation access and more, I encourage you to check out the
Services for Guests with Mobility Disabilities page on the Walt Disney World official website.
As for bringing snacks into the theme parks - yes, guests are allowed to bring their own snacks into the Walt Disney World theme parks. Disney's
official policy permits guests to bring food items, including snacks and non-alcoholic beverages, into the parks. This can be a convenient option for families or individuals who have dietary restrictions,
special dietary requests, or medical needs. I personally bring in small snacks for my husband, who needs to take some of his medications with food, and also for my daughter who can go from "hungry" to "hangry" in a matter of seconds!
I hope all this information is helpful when planning your visit. Please let us know if you have more questions before you arrive - we're happy to help!
