Disneyland and Disability
Which Disney Resort is every Child's fun -packed vacation best destination}.
At a guess that it would be Epcot for a reallyExciting time. Disneyland is most kids favourite with a chance of really meeting Mickey Mouse or Minnie Mouse . There are always lots of great fun things to do like Character Breakfasts and then there are Pirate Adventures and a heap of other activities to keep them busy all day long.
Can you still enjoy Disneyland if you are disabled ?
You can certainly enjoy Disneyland and Disney have already made
arrangements for those with disabilities.
if you are unable to walk too far then you can still enjoy Disneyland. If you have problems walking then perhaps you would like to journey around Disneyland on one of their scooters that you can rent.
That costs $35 per day. for a scooter. A modest deposit is also required.
To be able to rent a Disneyland Scooter you must have a
valid drivers license and you must be eighteen years old or older.
If you are younger than 18 then you can rent a wheelchair.
(Or if you do not have a driving license)
These are not electronic or battery powered.They are regular wheelchairs.
There is a rental fee for a wheelchair of $8
per day, and a $20 deposit.
You can also get a Guest Assistance card which does help in the Park.
A more cost effective way is to rent a scooter or wheelchair from a private company.
Local private scooter rental companies can deliver to your hotel room
and this may well be cheaper than renting a Disneyland scooter.
Before you decide to rent privately please consider what happens if you lose (or someone steals) the scooter.
Disneys Policy seems better than most private companies. Please see below.
Most entertainment areas and all restaurants are wheelchair accessible.
The main problem you may have at Disneyland is with a number of
the rides which are not wheelchair accessible.
Some rides are just not accessible and these include:
Donalds Boat
Sailing Ship
Tarzans Treehouse.
The following attractions ARE available :
Disney Gallery
Disneyland Monorail
Disneyland Railroad
Tiki Room
Golden Horshoe
Its a Small World
Mark Twain Riverboat
Tom Sawyer Island
There are other attractions that will need you to be transferred from your scooter/wheelchair to the ride or attraction.
These include Alice in Wonderland,
Indiana Jones
King Arthurs Carrousel.
Cast members and service personnel are happy to help wih Guest Wheelchair Transfers so that is not a problem for you.
If you should lose a wheelchair or Disneyland Scooter that you have rented
from Disney , simply show your rental ticket and Disney will supply you with another one.
If you rent from a private company then that is a different matter.
If you lose a private company scooter then you may well have to pay them
the full retail value of the scooter or wheelchair.
I suggest that you rent from Disneyland as this is much simpler and you have less exposure to a loss claim.
This is a serious consideration when deciding where to rent a wheelchair or scooter from.
Whether you can enjoy a ride in your wheelchair, or
you must be transferred from your wheelchair to the
ride, you can actually enjoy most of the rides at
Disneyland.
Do not allow the fact that you are not able to walk
around the park keep you from coming to Disneyland.
Disneyland was designed for everyone to enjoy and they have sensibly taken
into account the needs of anyone with a disability.
Have a Fun Time at Disneyland.
Mickey and the lovely Minnie Mouse starred {first | early on |in their first film in the funny Plane Crazy, which was released on May 15, 1928. The movie was co-directed by Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks.Ub Iwerks was also the top animator for this short, and reportedly spent six weeks working on it. In fact, Iwerks was the main animator for all of Disneys short released in 1928 and 1929. Mainly Harman and Ising also assisted Disney in the early years. They had already signed their contracts with Charles Mintz, but he was still in the process of forming his new studio and so for the time being they were still working for and employed by Walt Disney . This cartoon would be the last cartoon they animated under this somewhat awkward situation.
