When it comes to planning a trip to Disney World, we try to provide you with as many resources as possible so you can spend more time having fun at the parks. One of the most amazing things about choosing Disney World for your frogtastic family vacation is that the parks offer amazing accommodations for those with disabilities or special needs. Many experiences offer a variety of services related to visual, audio or mobility needs. Disney World also offers the Disability Access Service, or DAS, for those unable to spend long periods of time in a line queue. Check out our full overview of DAS at Disney World to learn more about this helpful program.
Whether you're using DAS or not, each attraction has different accommodations in place for guests. Every family is unique — and your needs may vary from someone else's, so we've created a list of every ride at Disney World and how each attraction accommodates guests needing special assistance. Ready to get a hop in? You can skip down to the park you are most interested in or just keep reading!
