Welcome to planDisney, David! It looks like your visit to the Walt Disney World Resort is just around the river bend; I'm sure you're excitedly planning your park days, Mickey-shaped snacks, and logistics for using
Disney Resort transportation to get you to all of your destinations! Let's talk about all the ways you can easily
access the magic of transportation while using a wheelchair!
David, you'll be happy to know that all bus routes are serviced by buses that can accommodate mobility devices such as wheelchairs and ECVs. You'll be able to access the rear entrance of the bus using a ramp before regular boarding begins and the bus drivers will be able to help you navigate boarding and secure your wheelchair once on board. Both of my parents visit the parks frequently using ECVs and the drivers have always been patient, friendly, and helpful in getting them from point A to point B.
In addition to the buses, your wheelchair can also access other transportation options including the
Disney Skyliner and
Disney Monorail if you're visiting destinations that utilize those options! One final option for accessible resort transportation is the
Minnie Van Service powered by the Lyft app; while this rideshare service does require passengers to pay an additional fee, they do offer
accessible van options and can transport you anywhere within Disney property quickly and easily.
David, I think you'll find the magic to be inclusive and accessible for everything from transportation to attractions and experiences; check out the
online mobility guide to see all the ways Disney offers options for guests using mobility devices. I'd also love to share with you that my panelist pal
Kami is a wheelchair user and has frequent experience navigating the parks on wheels, so she's a great resource to reach out to if you have any other specific questions about mobility!
I'm wishing you a magical vacation filled with lots of memories, David!
See you real soon,
Alison
