Hello, Hugo! Welcome to planDisney!
It looks like you’ll be arriving at Walt Disney World in a few weeks. How exciting! And with all the spooky season festivities about to kick off, you’ve picked a great time to visit.
Walt Disney World has a helpful website outlining its services for guests with mobility needs, available
here. I would suggest looking it over as you prepare for your upcoming visit. Attractions at the Magic Kingdom, as well as the other theme parks and water parks, have different loading and transferring procedures depending on the ride, but they all fall into one of four categories.
-
Wheelchairs & ECV (Electric Convenience Vehicle ) Accessible Attractions: Guests can remain in their wheelchair or ECV.
-
Transfer from ECV to Wheelchair: Guests may be required to transfer from their ECV to a wheelchair, or from their ECV to a wheelchair and then to a ride vehicle.
-
Transfer from Wheelchair & ECV to Ride Vehicle: Guests must transfer from their wheelchair or ECV, either by themselves or with assistance from someone in their party.
- Ambulatory Requirements: Attractions that require Guests to walk by themselves or receive assistance from members of their party while enjoying an experience.
You can search attractions by mobility requirements on the
Attractions and Entertainment page. Just click the button that says “Accessibility & Advisories,” and various filters will pop up, including those for mobility needs. You can also do this on the My Disney Experience mobile app. If you have any questions about an attraction, don’t hesitate to talk to a helpful Cast Member at the ride entrance or at Guest Relations.
I hope you and your family have a wonderful visit to Walt Disney World, Hugo. Pop right back if you have any more vacation planning questions. Your planDisney pals are here to help!
Magical travels!
