Hiya, Christina!
Welcome to planDisney! Thank you so much for sending this
Disneyland Resort planning question to us hEAR at planDisney!
I'm so very happy to share that yes, the
Parking Structure Trams are indeed up and running. Some even consider this mode of transportation to be their very first and last ride of the day, and they're technically not wrong. (My son once told my parents that it was his favorite ride, while in the middle of
Main Street U.S.A. five minutes after walking into the parks, and their response was "I'm so glad that we flew from Texas and paid to be hEAR for the tram to be your favorite ride ...")
You actually have a few options for riding in style. The very first row of the first and last cars of the tram are extra-extra wide and specifically meant for
wheelchairs or on ECVs. The first car even has a ramp for Guests to easily load the tram, and there's also a seated row in this section so you won't have to transfer that far. (Pro Tip: Watch your head, it's a little bit of a low clearance!) The last car also has this wide row, but not the ramp, so Guests will need to step up into the vehicle. Your crew will also be welcome to any regular row, but I find that they are pretty tight when I travel with my stroller; depending on how many are in your party you might want to take up more than one row so you can all be comfortable.
Another option is just beyond the loading zone for the tram are Mickey Vans, which are mini-buses that travel on the same tram route but are specifically for Guests with wheelchairs. This baby bus has seats for those in your group as well as a way to strap down your wheelchair should that Mouseketeer need to remain seated.
Bonus Tip: Be sure to inquire about the
Disability Access Service as well as brush up on the various
attractions where your Mouseketeer can remain in their wheelchair vs. where they'll need to transfer to the official ride vehicle.
I hope this answer helped to plan your upcoming Disney day, Christina! Be sure to check out the
