Hey there, Janet, and welcome to planDisney! I am so excited to hear that you and your family are gearing up for a trip to the Happiest Place on Earth in just a few short days! Thank you for such a thoughtful question, and I am honored to help. The Disneyland Resort is for everyone, and there are so many options to help make each Guest's experience truly magical. A fantastic place to start in relation to your question is the
Services for Guests with Disabilities page - it is a great collection of helpful resources! However, I'd love to also give my two cents as well below.
Let's start with
parking at the Disneyland Resort. The three parking areas (Mickey & Friends, Pixar Pals, and Toy Story) open 60 minutes prior to the earliest standard Disneyland Resort theme park opening time. There is parking available for Guests with disabilities specifically at the Mickey and Friends, and Pixar Pals parking structures.
As for your second question, that would be the
Disability Access Service (DAS) - and it's great! I would highly recommend pre-registering for this through
DAS Advance. Through this program, you'll register and chat live with a Cast Member, so you'll be all set by the time you get to the parks. You'll need to do this at least 2 days before your arrival.
Lastly, there are a few different
options for wheelchair or Electronic Conveyance Vehicles (ECV) rentals. If you'd like to reserve an option prior to your visit - which I think is smart! - there are great options through the ScooterBug service (more info on the page I linked above). If you're staying at a Disneyland Resort hotel, there may be some limited ECV and wheelchair rentals available on a first-come, first-served basis. There are also rentals available just outside the park entry gates as well.
I hope this was helpful information, Janet, but more importantly - I hope you all have an amazing time visiting the Disneyland Resort. If there are any other follow-up questions you can think of, please feel free to
write me back directly, or you can
call the Guest Information line to speak to a Cast Member!
Have a Magical Day,
Greg
