    My son has an autism diagnosis and is a high risk for elopement, are we able to use his stroller wagon in Disneyland to accommodate him?

    Hey there Annamarie,

    Welcome to planDisney and thank you for your question! I'm thrilled to see that you're planning a visit to the Disneyland Resort for later this year. The Holiday season is one of my favorite times to visit!

    The Disneyland Resort has a deep dedication to providing a welcoming and inclusive experience for all Guests. While stroller wagons are not permitted in the parks according to the Permitted Items page on the Disneyland Resort website, it's possible there might be other accommodations available that might be helpful. In general, my suggestion would be to reach out directly to a Cast Member by emailing disability.services@disneyland.com to see what accommodations might be available for you. 

    In particular, it sounds like the Disability Access Service (DAS) might be a really helpful option to look into for your upcoming trip. This service is intended to accommodate a small percentage of Guests who, due to a developmental disability like autism or similar, are unable to wait in a conventional queue for an extended period of time. 

    Part of the registration process involves having a conversation with a Cast Member to determine eligibility, which you can access through the DAS registration page.

    There are also quite a few additional resources while planning your trip available on the Accessibility page. It includes tips, tools, resources, and guides for making trips to the Disneyland Resort more accessible for all Guests.

    Thanks again for your question, Annamarie. I hope you have a wonderful time making new magical memories with your son later this year!

    Have a Magical Day,
    Greg
