Hello there, Kimberly! Welcome to
planDisney. Thanks for reaching out with this question. First off, I’m so sorry to hear that your husband broke his leg. I hope that he’s healing quickly. A trip to the
Happiest Place on Earth will surely boost his spirits and help him on his way to recovery!
Renting an ECV (scooter) is a great way to make the most of the Disneyland Resort with a broken leg. You can rent an ECV for the day at the building just East of the main entrance to Disneyland. They are rented on a first-come, first-served basis and have limited availability, so arrive early! Be sure to check Disneyland’s
Services for Guests with Mobility Needs Page for more information about visiting the parks with an ECV.
Many of the queues at the Disneyland Resort will accommodate an ECV (scooter). Navigating the more modern rides will be a cinch! For older attractions, especially those located in Fantasyland, an
ECV will not make it through the lines with tight turns, steps, ramps, or turnstiles. For those lines, the best solution is to utilize the
Location Return Time option. When you arrive at one of these attractions, go to the ride exit and try to get the attention of the friendly cast member working there. Guests who cannot navigate the ride line can request a return time, and the cast member will assign a time comparable to the current wait time. You’ll wait the same amount of time as if you were waiting in line, but can do that from the comfort of your ECV.
Kimberly, you and your husband are visiting during the spookiest time of year.
Halloween Time at the Disneyland Resort is in full swing. Be sure to visit Jack and Sally at the
Haunted Mansion Holiday overlay. This fan-favorite festive foiree transforms the Haunted Mansion into a celebration of The Nightmare Before Christmas! Two holidays in one? Absolutely!
I hope you have a wonderful trip, even with the broken leg. If you need any other tips, come right back to
planDisney.
Have a magical day,
Corey
