Guests with Disabilities

[GrimReapuh]

Well, I am visiting MK around Dec. cause I havent been to Disney in like... 5 years. My mom is in a wheelchair cause he cant walk.

Can you tell me what she can ride on with her wheelchair? Thanks

It really depends. If she can step out of the wheelchair and take a few steps up ur down into a ride vehicle fairly easily, she could probably ride almost everything.

Many, many rides also allow guests to remain in their wheelchairs to ride, others will accomodate standard wheelchairs, but not "electric scooters (ECVs)" because of the size/weight and safety concerns.

For coasters and rides with drops, a wheelchair can not be safely secured, so she would need to be able to step out.

Theater shows accomodate wheelchairs and ECVs.

Oh, guess she cant ride anything

IF you follow the link in my signature to the disABILTITIES Board, we can help you out.
Like the others said, if she can get out of the wheelchair and take a few steps, she can ride almost everything.
If she can't get out of the wheelchair, there are some rides where the wheelchair can be secured onto the ride car. She will also be able to enjoy any of the shows.
What is she interested in riding?

Oh, I wouldn't say that.

Traveling Theater type rides will accomodate EVC's, Carousel of Progress and (I think) Universe of Energy. Transport "rides" (Monorails, busses, transport boats) accomodate ECVs. The Riverboat at MK, too.

But for safety, anything with a drop (like a coaster, Tower of Terror or Splash Mtn) is not able to secure an ECV or wheelchair.

All the theaters shows have wheelchair/ECV areas. There are also special sections for parade viewing.

I'm not sure about the WDW RailRoad at MK, I know it accomodates wheelchairs, I don't know about ECVs.

Rides like Haunted Mansion would require her to step into a vehicle, but they can stop the ride to allow her to board.
