Recovering from a knee surgery can definitely feel like a big ol' Bibbidi Bobbidi bummer, but here's some pixie-dusted news to brighten your day! Walt Disney World is incredibly welcoming and accommodating when it comes to
mobility needs. The parks are designed to be highly accessible, with smooth pathways, plenty of
scooter and
wheelchair rentals, and helpful services to make getting around as easy and comfortable as possible.
Disability Access Service (DAS) is specifically designed to support Guests with developmental disabilities who have difficulty tolerating long waits in conventional queues. Since it's intended to accommodate these particular needs, it's generally not necessary for mobility situations. Of course, if you'd like to explore your options in more detail or have any specific questions, you can always
request a live video chat with a Cast Member who can provide personalized assistance and guidance tailored just for you.
Kristen, did you know you'll be visiting just as the
EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival kicks off? This event is a food lover's dream, featuring
Global Marketplaces, unique beverages, and creative culinary delights from all around the world. It's truly one of the most vibrant and tasty times to explore EPCOT!
