Disney...CA

[Julia H.]

A friend of mine is going to DL for the first time. Her dd, age 6, has an undiagnosed illness (possibly a rare metabolic disorder) with hearing loss, profound fatigue, and heat intolerance, among other things. They have a "special" stroller for her because of fatigue.

My friend is worried about how well her dd will hold up. Do you guys know if the assistance passes are the same as at WDW? If they are, I will tell her about the pass that allows them to take the stroller in lines, but is there any other accomodation she could ask for because of the fatigue and heat intolerance?

Also, does anyone have any links about DL that would help her...or any tips that would make this a magical trip for her DD?

Thanks!

I'm sorry, your post ended up without any answers, so I'm bumping it to the top.
I've got a couple of resources for you.
Here's a link to the official Disney page with FAQs about touring DisneyLand with disabilities. It also has a link to the DL Guidebook for Guest with Disabilities.
I have not been to DL since I was about 8 (a long time ago), so I can't offer any direct info, but I have read that they havea similar card to the GAC. I believe that you request it from Guest Services the same as at WDW and she should be prepared to explain about her DD's challenges and how that will affect waiting in lines. I think this website has information on DL as well as WDW.
Here's some pixie dust for a great trip.

Thanks, Sue! I figured when I didn't get any replies that there just weren't any west coasters reading. I found a few sites for her by doing some web searches, so I think those will help. They're there this week, and I'm crossing my fingers they're having a great time.

Take care.
