Handicap Car Tag

[JennyG]

Hey guys,
We have a TX issued handicap hanger for our car. Will this be valid in FL?

Thanks!
Jenny

Woohoo! Thank you...
One less thing we have to worry about while there. Although, we wont have a car for the first part of our trip. I hope Enzo will be patient with the bus lines. Hopefully we wont have to wait too long. We are praying for low crowds!!

Yes, I've used mine in different states around the country. I agree with PP as long as its not expired you should be okay.

I think it expires in December and we can only use it if DS is with us... which he will be. So, I think we are good...?

We have a WV handicap license plate, not a hang tag. Also, it is only on the back of the car, no plate on the front. There's no problem using either handicap identifier out-of-state. Our only hitch is that in the Disney parking lots, since the CM doesn't see a hang tag or the handicap license plate as we approach, she/he will always try to move us along with the flow of regular cars. We have to stop the car (and the flow of everyone behind us), and wave the CM over and tell her/him about our handicap plate on the back of the car. While the CM is approaching us, we get this look like we are the Stupid Lost Loony Family from Mars. We explain our handicap plate and the CM won't even look back to see it, just point us to the painted blue line in the road. It's always awkward.

That sucks!! Rude people...
The cars behind you should see your tag and understand.

I agree, Some people are just so impatient.
As for Disney and hanging tags, mine is issued in NY and have no issue in Disney. One year, mine actually expired during our trip and the CM said not to worry and let us through.
Completely embarrassing

every state in the US has reciprocity with other US states for handicapped parking permits. This means they have agreed the handicapped parking permit that is valid in one state will be valid in every other state.

We often just start in with "Follow the blue lined road" when we get there.

Sorry, I just saw this question from a while ago -

The short answer is that there are no handicapped entrances to the rides.

Almost all lines are mainstreamed, which means everyone waits in the same line, even with a wheelchair or scooter.

If you have stamina or mobility problems, you should look into renting a wheelchair or ECV. Disney does not issue passes to skip any portion of the line. You CAN get a GAC (Guest Assistance Card) which will allow you to go around those portions of lines in a few queues that have stairs if you cannot walk on stairs (not skip the line, just go a different way)

And, the distance you walk will not usually be that much different, you will just avoid the part of the queue that has things like stairs.

The reason for WDW recommending a wheelchair or scooter is that the average guest walks 5-9 miles per day. Much of the walking is not in lines, it is getting from place to place. Some of the lines also are a long distance to walk and there is no way around the distance. For example, Soarin' is 1/4 mile from the entrance to the queue to the boarding point and is the same distance again from the unload point to the exit from the queue. This is the same whether you are using the regular line or using Fastpasses to shorten your wait.

So, if you have difficulty with walking, a mobility device of some kind makes the most sense. Some people use wheelchairs or ECVs, but many guest are also using things like walkers and rollators (walkers with wheels and possibly a seat._
