Accessible Ride Vehicles at the Magic Kingdom

Walt Disney World has made it possible for people with all kinds of abilities to visit and experience the magic. One of the things that makes my visits easier is that Disney has implemented ways for you to stay in your wheelchair to experience certain attractions if you are unable to transfer. I have found the accessible ride vehicles very easy to use with minimal assistance. Below is a rundown of these attractions at the Magic Kingdom.

The Walt Disney World Railroad is accessible through either the Main Street or Frontierland stations. Just let the Cast Members know you need to use the ramp to board the train and they will lead you to the wheelchair seating. 

The Magic Carpets of Aladdin has an accessible vehicle but not all wheelchairs can fit. My chair is rigid so it wouldn’t work but if you have foot rests that move it may work. The Cast Members have a template that they use to test the size. Just ask to see it before you get in the line.

Walt Disney World allows parents of special needs children to use a stroller as wheelchair. To help Cast Members differentiate your stroller from others, you can stop by Guest Relations at any of the parks and get a tag. This tag in conjunction with your Guest Assistance Card, will insure that your stroller is treated like it is a wheelchair allowing you to use special entrances as needed. It also means your child can stay in the stroller in queues when other strollers have to be parked. It also gives you access to the wheelchair seating at attractions and at parades. Continue reading →
