Hi Debbie,
Thanks for visiting planDisney with your question! Disneyland works hard to ensure that everyone can access the Happiest Place on Earth, regardless of their needs.
Accessible parking is available throughout the Disneyland Resort. Guests with a valid disability parking permit must still pay the
standard parking rates (except when
Magic Key discounts apply).
When you arrive at any of the parking lots, be sure to clearly display your parking placard. At the toll booth, ask the Cast Member for directions to the accessible parking area. Cast Members throughout the lot will help guide you to the correct location. If you’re parking in one of the smaller outdoor lots, simply follow the signs indicating accessible spaces.
Once parked:
* From Mickey & Friends and Pixar Pals parking structures, a tram will take you to the Esplanade between Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park.
* From the Toy Story parking area, buses transport guests to the Main Entrance Esplanade.
I’m also happy to report that
ECVs and wheelchairs are available for rent at the stroller rental area near the theme park entrances. These rentals are first-come, first-served and cannot be reserved in advance, so it’s best to arrive early.
If you’re staying at a Disneyland Resort Hotel, you also have the option to rent an ECV or wheelchair for the length of your stay through Disney’s featured mobility device provider. These rentals can be reserved in advance. You’ll find all the details on the ECV and Wheelchair Rentals page, just scroll down to the section titled “Disney Featured Provider.”
Before your visit, I recommend exploring Disneyland Resort’s
resources for Guests with disabilities. There are a variety of services and tools available, and reviewing them ahead of time can help you make the most of your visit. Once inside the parks, you can stop by an
Accessibility Services Kiosk for additional resources and guidance on navigating the park in the most accessible way.
You may also be interested in
location-based return times at select attractions (like Jungle Cruise). Some of the older queues cannot accommodate ECVs or wheelchairs, so eligible guests may request a return time instead. Just speak to a Cast Member at the participating attraction, and they’ll assist you. Your entire party is usually welcome to return together, but always follow the Cast Member’s guidance, as policies may vary or change.
I hope this helps with your planning, Debbie! If you have any more questions or need a little extra pixie dust, don’t hesitate to reach out to me or any of my fellow planDisney panelists. We’re always here to help make your Disney dreams come true!
Happy planning!
